Decided very late last night that I was finally going to try and use the nice camera I bought a few months ago by going on a much needed solo drive/hike today. Got a few nice pics but these are some of my favorites. AND I still made it home for zoom class at 5 😌

Zionists don't understand shame so they mistake it for fear.

Some of us are just real freaks. And that’s okay!

This is what China did in 2009 when there was a similar scandal.

My rent went up $300 a month.

I told people I couldn’t afford it. They said just move.

So I looked up what moving actually costs.

First month’s rent. Security deposit. Application fee. Credit check fee. Moving truck. Utility deposits. Time off work to do all of it.

That’s $4,000 minimum just to escape a rent increase.

The solution to not having money is apparently having money.

Poverty isn’t a mindset problem.

It’s a locked door that charges you to find the key.

I still refuse to believe “El Monte” is pronounced THAT way 🙂‍↔️

[Adriana Porter Felt @__apf__]

every city name in California has three ways to pronounce it:
(1) the Spanish way
(2) the way an English speaker would pronounce it if they hadn't heard the name before
(3) the way locals actually pronounce it, which is neither of the previous two. like San Rafell and Beneesha

There’s a part in the book White Noise where the characters talk about losing their identity once they’ve aged out of being the primary demo for advertisements and marketing.I think about that every time I see nostalgia porn videos because they’re always just ads for old products

Get ready for a whole lot of nothing to be done on housing and homelessness the next 4-8 years. This election was existential for YIMBY housing policy, and we’re getting a dude to the right of Newsom. Congrats on your Latino governor, though!

[J. J. Ellis @jjellisart]

Nostalgia is a tool of fascism, a warm, idealized version of a past that never truly existed. Do not catch yourself longing for The Corporate Wire Mother. There was no Golden Age; only advertisements for products that you were too young to defend yourself against.

My god, this article is saying EVERYTHING THAT I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS. This is cathartic to read.

Meanwhile on Chinese TV: "I visited California in the 80s. They were promising high-speed rail. China didn't even have highways."

40 years later, they have built zero. China: biggest high speed rail network.
