I shall pass through this world but once, any good thing therefore I can do, or any kindness I can show to any human being, let me do it now, let me not defer it or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.

i think substack kind of reveals the problem with a lot of young writers and it's that they have nothing to talk about beyond writing and weepy little bits of introspection about "the unbearable fragility of young adulthood" or their failed relationships or living in new york that all say the same things. idk maybe training just to Write doesn't give you much to say

@afloweroutofstone ran a poll earlier asking people to pick America's #4 city (since the top 3 are already well known as New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago).

I'm asking for the opposite: I want you to pick America's LEAST culturally-important city, relative to its population. Like, which city are you most surprised has such a large population despite never hearing about it?

beavers have the lifestyle that most children dream of. dig and travel through underwater canals. dam a river and flood the local woodlands. stomp mud into dam to seal. swim to flooded trees and destroy them. live in a secret hideout with a underwater entrance. full ownership over an engineering project

Hey I have an idea. What if we did, like, the BIGGEST mutual aid program EVER. Like. Literally everybody pays into it so it'll have a TON of resources. And then!! It'll give aid to literally everyone. Everyone. And it'll do everything! Healthcare, education, even shit like roads and bridges, small business loans, crazy stuff. It'll be so much more efficient to have everyone in this one system than to have, like, a million different nonprofits reinventing the wheel in a million different ways. Especially if everyone has to pay into the system instead of, like, only donating to the stuff they like. Yeah, yeah I know it'll take a lot of organizing to run this system. So since everyone participates in this mutual aid, here's what we do. Once in a while, we all get together, and we pick who's gonna run the mutual aid system—

everyone give thanks to the middle eastern and north african people of over ten thousand years ago for domesticating the african wildcat and providing the entire world with some of the best pets ever 🙏🙏🙏 it was probably the best idea any human has ever had.

They hate me for my redundancies. And also for my tendency to say the same thing but in slightly different ways. And for my repetition of phrases. And for my redundancies.
