Materially improving people's lives is authoritarianism sweaty it needs to be balanced against legalizing violence against marginalized people

But also the marketization and commodification of everything.

Basic necessities like housing and food that there's more than enough for everyone made or being made, being denied to people to keep the price of those commodities artificially high, is not normal. Food being destroyed with bleach and housing being kept empty while people go hungry and sleep under interstate overpasses is not normal.

I never saw a landlord or developer do any work to prepare an area or build anything on any of the jobsites I was on.

I got out of construction this year. I was on jobsites for basically the entire shutdown for Covid.

Outside of disease, there are a lot of physical health hazards in construction that you're just expected to work through. Working at all on a coal-fired power plant, you're going to breathe in coal dust all day long for your shift, which for me was up to 16 hours a day not including travel time.

cw gross


if you sneeze or blow your nose for the rest of the day, the tissue will be black with coal dust. Imagine what that does to your lungs.

Edit: I originally wrote this when I first woke up, and was more combative than I should have been.

I do physical and digital notes both, just so that information is available in as many places as possible. I need a number to refer to a thing in an email? It's in a word doc, on a post-it note on my monitor, on my physical and digital calendar probably, and in a spreadsheet. No matter what, I can find the info I need.

And I feel like the actual act of handwriting helps me remember what I'm writing. I'll take notes during a meeting or a class, never look at them again, and remember the important info. If I don't take notes, I might as well have not been there lol.
