It doesn't help with me that a lot of the WASTE OF MONEY types mention OH THE POOR HOME OWNERS BEING SOAKED FOR PROPERTY TAXES. Being well off enough to own a house is increasingly rare, but especially where I'm currently trapped or am likely to move. It's like asking me to feel sympathy for people who drank from the Holy Grail.

It pisses me off when rich assholes diss public libraries. The community utility libraries provide include;
1) Outside of our society's constant grinding class war, y'know who else might not have money available for books or coffee whenever they want hangout space? Children, teenagers, senior citizens.
2) Having a place to go that's NOT your "home" is incredibly useful for anyone. Libraries also have A/C which works - a lot of houses and apartments don't.

And this shitty ride is going to get worse, because now the enemy has a chance of losing power. They're going to ram through any horrible bullcrap they can, they're going to tamper with (especially Black) ability to vote if they can, and that THING is going to get a lot more pushy about possible war to come across as Strong Leader Who Takes No Bullshit™️ and to use the don't-swap-governments-in-mid-war thing.

so cool. It's all there - the idea that the lineage started out bipedal (which explains the trackways with young animals running on hindlegs!), the bone reabsorbtion/redistribution.
Have I mentioned just how awesome dinosaurs are?

Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
