An old guy just yelled at me that I shouldn’t be sneaking out of my girlfriends apartment so early. Just a couple of notes, 1) it was 10:30 am, 2) it was my own apartment, 3) and arguably most important, I don’t have a girlfriend
The preservation of land in national parks is America's best idea. It took an heroic struggle to keep this pristine wilderness from being deforested and turned into cheap hotels. But we're governed by people who value profit over beauty. Once they're gone, they're gone.

I’m from Detroit, where I learned to speak truth to power, even if my voice shakes.
it is exceptionally difficult to use this platform for news about Israel and Palestine
I find myself ignoring all videos and trying to go through the posts of every source to see if they're legit, so many times you can't really tell for sure
Two million civilians are trapped in Gaza with no way out. A government funded by the US and backed near-unanimously by US politicians is announcing its intention to violate the Geneva conventions. To focus on Hamas atrocities outside this context is morally unserious.
