Kids endlessly asking "why" are actually applying the socratic method and stimulate adults to think critically.

You are allowed to do stuff just because you want to.

Even if it uses up all your spoons/matches.

Even if it leaves your exhausted and broken the next day.

Even if you need to let other stuff slide a bit while you recover.

You are allowed to have fun, to go out, to take a day once in a while and do what you want with it.

Being #disabled, or #chronicallyill, or a #parent, etc doesn't mean you can't take time for you.

Der Unterschied zwischen Gefängniszelle und Akutpsychiatriezimmer

(Reinhard Heydrich chaired the meeting and proposed the death camps, if you're curious)

So like. Hitler's a bastard, but he's one bastard among a massive cohort of bastards.

So today, on 4/20, reflect on the other bastards we blame for everything and how simply getting rid of them isn't going to solve all the problems. Our current problems exist before and without Trump and impeaching him won't end them. It's *systemic* change that's needed

I find @Are0h to provide something very unique to the fediverse. They offer us who live in very white-centric worlds (and honestly, that's the vast majority of us) insight into a world that's difficult for us to see.

The way they talk about Racism, and institutional racism, isn't just educational, it's real, and down to earth. Just sit, listen and learn

“Innenminister #Seehofer kündigte heute im Innenausschuss an, dass sich ein Musterpolizeigesetz für die Länder am bayerischen PAG orientieren werde. Ein Grund mehr die Proteste in Bayern gegen das neue Willkür-/ und Überwachungsgesetz zu unterstützen. #NoPAG”

I should tell them I dont believe in punishment.

The paradox of productivity in 2018 is even if you're writing a quantum tech article whilst simultaneously dogwalking, podcasting your fourth Ph. D, & inventing the next revolutionary drudge-work-automating app (that will be consumed by a tech giant), you'll always be making not-enough per hour for a dignified existence.

No amount of neurohack pills, 180-hour crunches and AI assistants will ever free us, because neofeudal capitalism will consume all abundance.

The wheel must break.

I love reading graduate theses, in progress or otherwise. If sent them, I will read!

Today is Yom HaShoah 🕯

This year is the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

Holocaust Remembrance Day is specifically the day on the Hebrew calendar of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the largest act of resistance of Jews against Nazi Germany. The German response was to burn the entire ghetto block by block, killing 13k Jews and 300 Germans.

The start to HaShoah, which would result in the death of 11,202,500 people. Eleven million, two hundred and two thousand, five hundred
