It seems silly to quote a fantasy book but there’s a Terry Pratchett quote where they have captured the main villain and are about to kill him, “it doesn’t matter what he is. It matters what we are.” It’s stuck with me whenever the death penalty comes up.

We love a baptismal call ✨

Ecologist speaking calmly: if you pump groundwater from a drinking water aquifer for cooling data center shit and it evaporates, becomes a cloud, drifts away, and rains into the sea, you have in effect USED UP WATER. Begging everyone to learn the water cycle taught in 7th grade.
Part of the problem with the "kids don't read books" discourse is that the concerned professors are self-selected to be nerds who genuinely enjoy reading academic material and have to use imagination to understand reading as a burden
I was assigned full books all throughout my schooling, and by the end of ~fancy~ ~rigorous~ college I was completely disenchanted. I went from kid who devours books to adult who dreads them, in large part because "reading" became sublimated into the "toil" category

Voting for Dems isn't a magic wand, and voting AGAINST Dems isn't a magic wand. Because voting isn't a magic wand.
