Dutch people are so cool. The National Anthem of Ukraine is playing in front of the Russian Embassy in The Hague from a traditional barrel organ.

“AAaargwannawannaaaagongongonaargggaaaaBLOON!” which is the traditional sound of a very small child learning that with balloons, as with life itself, it is important to know when not to let go of the string. The whole point of balloons is to teach small children this.”

I've been struggling with this myself, so I thought I'd repeat it for other people that might be dealing with the same thing:

Not every hobby needs to be a project. Not everything needs to be a whole *thing* with a goal and an endpoint. It's okay to not finish something. It's okay to pick up something for a bit, explore it, start making something, and then drop it without making any "progress".

Productivity is capitalist bullshit that doesn't need to infect your free time too. Have some fun

I'm so angry — House Republicans have just introduced legislation to repeal the $35/month cap on insulin that Democrats passed for seniors on Medicare.

I need you to retweet and spread the word about this. Every voter needs to know.

We all have different things that touch us. For some, it's stories on the printed page. For others, songs or spoken narratives. For yet others, photographs.

You may not know that the US government hired Dorothea Lange to photograph the "relocation effort."

She clearly saw the injustice and human tragedy that was unfolding, and documented it unflinchingly.

Her work was censored, and only in 2006 made broadly available.

Take a moment and see what she saw.

Reading @kathryntewson and @remygreen’s filing against “#AI lawyer” company DoNotPay and it’s pretty entertaining.
