Showing this to the guy at the dispensary like I’m showing a barber the haircut I want

@AsteadWH @PritzkerForPrez honestly this might be disqualifying 😔

The libertarianism leaving my body as I realize waterways in Japan are beautiful bc they’re legally mandated to consider aesthetics when doing river management projects

If it is not American cultural supremacy, then surely it is Japanese

Found a very cool bookstore in Tokyo! Each square on the bookshelves is rented to a different person. The renters are free to curate and sell whatever books they want in their shelf space. My favorite was the shelf filled with handmade photo books of the renter’s cat

@senatorshoshana @LisamarieH5ywb @AllTrails You cannot possibly think that 15% of the Illinois population are users of AllTrails

@CageFooName They didn't and BMW has had to recall hundreds of thousands of vehicles

@AlexSJacquez And then what happened

@Michaelrfallon @thePartyPartyUS @joeycomeau @helendewitt It doesn't sound like "who she is" is working for her. The life changing prize was an opportunity to make things better for herself by talking to people who appreciate her work. She wrongly decided to forgo it, and then complain about it

[BR @BR_ADD]

@chaykak The crushing indignity and impossible mental labor of interacting with people who appreciate an artist's work so much they try to give a life changing sum of money to support it? And here I thought gig workers had it bad

[BR @BR_ADD]

@Lauraonthettc @aedison That's what's almost offensive to me, that there isn't other worthy talent that would be able to produce wonderful things as a result of this prize. Why is there an entitlement to someone who refuses to participate; we live in a society

[BR @BR_ADD]

@darwin8u @joeycomeau @helendewitt Prizes definitionally have conditions on them; sour grapes over very friendly conditions (i.e., a modicum of interaction with other talented colleagues and enjoyers of your works) is annoying and childish. There is no shortage of other talented, worthy people for this prize

[BR @BR_ADD]

@katpburke @mcmansionhell It's unfortunate that a talented person refuses to engage with a thriving arts culture (which involves interviews) to be better able to contribute (through prize money support). Fortunately there plenty of talented people willing to engage and contribute that society can support

[BR @BR_ADD]

@joeycomeau @helendewitt If a line has to be drawn at "a few hours of time with people who want to enjoy my company" then you know what? Certainly any reasonable person and even most unreasonable people would agree with that.

[BR @BR_ADD]

@joeycomeau @helendewitt A life changing prize requiring a few hours of executive function around people who are genuinely interested and familiar with my work? My steak too juicy, my lobster too buttery

[BR @BR_ADD]

@inboundike @sportypepper @Eric_Erins Did you use any negotiation tactics when you bought your residence? They're allowed to do the same; their context and methods may be different than yours, but we all engage in performative behavior to get a place to live

@tmavuram @jakebackpack Everyone obviously face a lot of societal pressures of all kinds and people should grow up so they are less in their feelings about them, not throw up their hands like they have no choice

@Eric_Erins @aj_whoWrites What was the financing process like? Did you have a higher interest rate than it would've been for a conventional condo unit?

[BR @BR_ADD]

@SpanishTaxTheft Oh no you didn't get as good of a deal on tax avoidance as you had hoped :(
