'Enough Is Enough': Sanders, Khanna Propose Billionaires Tax to Raise $4.4 Trillion

People who have never had to rent as an adult will never understand the privileges of homeownership. And it's a fucking problem. Let's discuss.
Everything below represents a stressor that renters have that homeowners just don't.
I have a 15 day grace period to pay the mortgage. That means less stress getting the payment in on time. I cannot stress enough how relieving that is.
I can just fix stuff myself if I want to. If I hate my faucet, I can just replace it with one that's high enough - too many never renters do not understand how shitty kitchen faucets are in most apartments. They are chosen for price and not utility. This is an often unrecognized stressor. It's harder to watch dishes when your faucet is too low.
I can buy stuff in bulk because I have a place to store shit. Buying bulk is cheaper. I don't have to think about how many rolls of toilet paper I have left nearly as often.
I have enough space to work on loud or messy projects. You can't build a workshop in an apartment.
I never have to worry about someone buying my home and forcing me to find alternative lodging. The relief from this is palpable - this is such a huge and often invisible stressor. It's an elephant sized stressor. Moving is expensive.
I can have multiple pets, and specifically more than two. My pets are not restricted by weight or breed.

@elseweather yeah that sort of thing. the things that actually seem to last all seem to have a lot of popularity and finalized interfaces (at least in their original incarnations). eg, the C ABI, retro console rom hacking, doom, Win32, and so on.
if you build something on just that, the odds of your creation surviving and maybe being of benefit to someone some distant day are a lot higher than if you build it entirely out of whatever is the current passing fad

Software is very mailable and the possible solution space for a problem is larger than other engineering professions. Combine this with smart and bored programmers and you get a tendency to reinvent the wheel.

One thing that I will say is that whenever transphobic people talk about all the experiences I will never have and how I'll never know what it's like to have certain bodily functions, I legit feel devastated. I was devastated when it clicked for me the first time. It's just grief that I was born with, really.
I legit spent a good hour yesterday sobbing over it.
I didn't have a choice in the matter. I'm personally just trying to hold onto my victories wherever possible because otherwise I'll just be a crying mess.
I would urge all the cisgender women to put themselves in my shoes. Imagine that your personality, your mind was the same as it is now, but you were born as a boy and forced to fulfill that role.
What would you do?
It is a very superficial and insulting reading to assume that I am not going through things that other women go through.
I might not be able to understand some very specific things, but there are many things that I understand very very well and are in fact unavoidable.
And there is suffering that I go through, that you will never be able to understand.

C'est vraiment quelque chose de réaliser chaque jour qu'une immense partie de la population mondiale n'aspire qu'à : 1/ vivre en paix /2 avoir de quoi manger /3 avoir un toit. Et que si nous n'avons pas tout ça, c'est à cause d'une infime clique de personnes ivres de pouvoir qui prétendent gérer le "moins pire des systèmes".
Et les personnes en charge d'analyser les agissements de cette clique les commentent à la façon de commentateurs sportifs, nous empêchant de réaliser à quel point on pourrait s'en dispenser sans souffrance.
C'est tellement absurde que c'en serait presque drôle, pour peu qu'on ait aucune sorte d'empathie.

Old snap I took during #momaps1 Julien Ceccaldi exhibition, #lomomatic110 with OrcaBW #110film
While this is part of a global trend, PS1 exhibitions are always great at working with the museum space as an integral part of the curation. Current Ayoung Kim and Vaginal Davis exhibits are great examples of how they approach usage of space as part of the narrative as well.
Speaking of space - I've used quite a number of 110 cameras by now, and lomomatic is turning out to be a unique beast among them. Shots I take with 110 shooters of the era, like the Minolta I took on my train trip, render as expected within the film mask. The image is designed to sit within the frame.
The lomomatic, I'm beginning to realize, might be intentionally engineered to have its images spill out into the frames. I like it, but I can also see other photographers not being too crazy about it.

so clever to attack iran and create the next generation of foreign terrorists so that the burden of destroying the US doesn't fall solely on the overworked domestic terrorists known as ICE.
there is not enough grass on all this planet to blunt my rage and frustration at this administration...
#Trump on Monday pushed back against mounting criticism that he hasn’t done enough to explain why it was necessary to start a #war with #Iran now or to articulate his vision for an endgame to the escalating conflict.
The frustration is coming not just from the political left but also from his MAGA base, as the conflict expands, #energy #prices surge, & the #death toll in the #Middle East rises in a war that the admin suggests may only be in the opening stages.

I liked the essay here
“Morris notes that support for attacking Iran has held fairly steady for months and remains so after the strikes, with 34% in favor of them and 44% opposed.
This is incredibly low support for a foreign war, Morris writes, and support for military action tends to be highest at the start of a war. Trump's attack on Iran scorns the will of the people and their constitutional right to decide whether they want to pay for a war with their money and their lives. That disdain for democratic government reveals that Trump's military adventure against Iran is also, fundamentally, an attack on the United States of America.”
