There's an open pit in the middle of our office plan that drops down into a bunch of very sharp spikes that kill you instantly. This is bad. People keep falling in there and dying. Someone put a sign up, the other day, all bright yellow so you can't miss it, that says "Beware!!! Spikes!!!"

The office immediately split into two factions over it. One says that if anyone falls in the spike pit it's their own fault for being so stupid and not watching where they're walking, so we should remove the sign. The other says that the sign is an insult, there shouldn't be a spike pit in our office at all, and having the sign up like that is just normalising the existence of the spike pit, so we should remove the sign.

We ended up removing the sign. Probably for the better. Still... for a while there it looked like it might have worked...

My least favorite thing about this point in America is seeing people use the term "empires" and speak collectively about them when they're referring to at most four they vaguely know about

"all empires collapse in-" quick name the time frame of any empire in Africa or South America

something incredibly American about an Allied trooper yelling brand names at Soviets until they recognize him as an ally.

Tony Todd 1954-2024 I consider myself so fortunate to have worked with this gifted actor in Dust Of War (2013). Such a kind and generous soul on and off camera. May he rest in God’s peace 🙏🏻❤️.

“i’m not the same as who i was before [x] thing happened to me” does it help to know that you would not have stayed that person regardless

added a graphic to elaborate on the specifics of what i’m trying to say.

basically, everybody changes all the time for all sorts of reasons. don’t let the myth of static selfhood trick you into thinking you’re unworthy. the only way to go is forward, which would be the case no matter what, and that’s okay.

Getting back to serious topics today.
