I wish I had enough rhythm to dance, not like some amazing dancer, I'm talking even just a little bit. I dance like Elaine on Seinfeld.

Being alone.

Everyone’s talking about a loneliness epidemic and I’m here wishing I had fewer people around me.

Most of them I love, for sure, but the freedom and relaxation of not having anyone around is addicting and I haven’t had a good hit since 2020

People existing in society in good faith. People who just want the world to be a better place to live, and aren't willing to shove people down below them in order to get an edge.

I hope you have a good weekend, my friend.

The sad reality is that I'm going to be fine. I'm going to survive the turmoil and probably make money in the process, because I've been lucky before now. I worry for people that haven't been lucky. I worry for people that have been lucky but happen to be the "wrong" race. I worry for my gay friends that are looking at fleeing the country as an easier alternative. I worry for my trans friend that already has fled the country.

The US has always had problems, sure, but nothing like this.

Saaame. A sip of milk is like poison for me, 20 minutes later and I'm stuck in the bathroom for the next 4 hours.

was trying to figure out what the stats are on vision impairment, and found this:

https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/study-finds-most-americans-have-good-vision-14-million-are-visually-impaired

A National Institutes of Health (NIH) study has found that although 94 percent of Americans aged 12 and older have good vision, the remaining six percent, or 14 million, are visually impaired.

So 6% of Americans are visually impaired, and of those, 3/4 can be corrected with glasses.
