post Taking the Internet back for God
Pages are turning, in history and lots more besides. Events are about to accelerate faster than any of us can imagine. I’ve been watching them from the top of a (very steep) hill, an ocean away. Thinking.

post from Changing
It always annoys me when a politician is accused of β€œflip-flopping” when they change their mind on something. Instead of admiring someone for being willing to re-examine previously-held beliefs, we lambast them. We admire conviction, even though that’s a trait that has been at …

post from Make America More Like Europe (please)
I realized some time ago that all the ways I want America to change just bring it closer to being Europe. Like, what if we had this can-do attitude and all the good parts without the guns and with universal healthcare, real education, unprocessed food without sugar in it, a real …

post from I repaired my Steam Deck and it was fine, actually
For Christmas 2022, I bought my husband a Steam Deck. It's a handheld games console that runs a version of Linux (so you can also use it as a computer and plug it into a monitor, if you want), and works seamlessly with nearly every game in your Steam Library. It's GREAT. I 100% …
