On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden. It is a very fantastic graphic novel / webcomic about found family and queerness, I read it as a teenager and it has heavily affected me.
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. Also a sci-fi found family story with queer themes but in the form of a novel. The worldbuilding and stories told in the Wayfarer's series has moved me to tears multiple times <3
If you're being polled for jury try saying these things:
- Man I fucking hate Italians...
- Healthcare? Yeah I haven't had any problems!
- Dude I love McDonald's workers and people that work with cops!
- If I saw a health insurance CEO bleeding out I would tear up my own shirt to plug the wounds... They're my heroes.
And then you hang the jury!
I was just thinking about this earlier today :(
I actually liked working my factory jobs but unfortunately in the US they don't let you sit even if you could fulfill your role on the line in a chair. If this changed then my ideal career would be factory work.
I also recently got into Buddhism and I would say a good place to start is What The Buddha Taught by Walpola Rahula, once you've finished that you can check out The Noble Eightfold Path: Way to the End of Suffering by Bhikku Bodhi as well! Both of these books will give you a very good foundation.
I would also advise against fixating on choosing a school or sect, it can lead to decision paralysis and you may just get fixated with a school that isn't even practiced anywhere near you. Absolutely look into Sanghas near you and base your choices around that! I hope you enjoy your time with Buddhism!
Temu and AliExpress are both fine, avoid Wish and be mindful of scams. Also watch your shipping costs, they can easily eat your wallet. You can filter items by whether or not it ships from US and for AliExpress they have what they call "Choice" items that you can get free shipping on if you meet a dollar amount.
Never in my life, have I seen a comment this concise.
I like Jerboa because it's very straightforward and has no frills.
I've been having fun with Zen Browser but I'm not too sure how privacy friendly it is, there isn't a lot of discussion about it right now and I'm not very good at researching these things on my own.
The series is goated I would watch it, in any case it's fun background noise. It's appealingly cheesy.
