Why do we need "individual action" when what we REALLY need is "systems change?" Let's break it down 👇

ALL change requires a human (usually many humans) to change behavior, take an action, or make a decision different from what they were doing before.

@danielsultan @GrantSlatton I think the bright green looks great.

@ronrule Uncomfortable truth - children are a public good, not a private property. We all rely on them to turn out well and they all rely on us collectively.

[Katie Patrick @katiepatrick]

@ronrule However lots of people would take the money as a perk and let their kids flounder. Economic incentives don’t always stimulate ideal results.

In Australia, financial support of new mothers unfortunately has lead to an outbreak of teen pregnancies to get the “baby bonus.”

It’s crazy how the bad corporate guy, Burke, in Aliens looks near-identical to Sam Altman, and the truck Ripley saves the crew in is a big cybertruck.

Everyone should watch the ending of Terminator 1 and reassess how they feel about the Optimus Prime in their home.

Prediction: Everything internet and AI will become painfully uncool soon like a cliff drop.

@KirstieMAllsopp Furthermore, why do people care so much about OTHER women's births? There are all these women who get evangelical trying to push their "natural" ideology onto others. Worry about your own fetus.

[Katie Patrick @katiepatrick]

@KirstieMAllsopp Nothing gives me peace of mind in pregnancy like knowing there are multiple proven high IQ people with 10 years of gruelling medical schooling, experience with 100+ live births during residency + a $100m medical facility with all the tech to keep me and my baby safe.

Most parents in SV are training their kids to code, but mummy’s giving the girl a serious encyclopedic knowledge of everything goth.

@SustainableTall The single-family home is a scam.

I am learning, once again, that the easy way is the hard way, and the hard way was the easy way all along.

[Katie Patrick @katiepatrick]

I'm so sick of getting abused by men.

I live a fairly quiet and polite life, yet the entitlement of men to write or yell abusive things to me on the street amazes me - and although women can be cruel sometimes, too, it's easily 90% from men.

Good manners go a long way.

Scrolling is the new smoking.

[Katie Patrick @katiepatrick]

Just wanted to put it out there that I am not lonely or disconnected like everyone says people are.

[Katie Patrick @katiepatrick]

New Rules. Life is now just a game of "Which ball do I drop today?"

[Katie Patrick @katiepatrick]

I’m getting more sure over time that the prize goes to the person with the highest pain tolerance.

[Katie Patrick @katiepatrick]

@WAPolicyGreen The left has always been against outsourced manufacturing to China with its poor environmental standards, coal power stations - and the enabling of cheap mass consumer goods.

[Katie Patrick @katiepatrick]

I’m starting to feel like scrolling is as offensive a habit as smoking cigarettes.

Pro tip: If you don’t buy a f* ton of stuff, nor build a career from making it, the tariffs don’t affect you so much.

If you think of tariffs as a tax on over-consumption, it hits different.
