He’s not even cool enough to have invented meat shoes.

 

Oddly wholesome internet weirdness.

You never budget for a grocery store trip? You never walk into a store with $10 and think about how many cokes or whatever you can buy?

Just because someone’s not handing you an algebra worksheet, doesn’t mean you aren’t doing algebra.

I get locked in a rumination cycle, which makes it difficult to do things I need to do (clean, work stuff, etc)

Weed shuts it off.

The woman who leans into the frame also seems to be wearing hers like that too.

Truly a bunch of epic penguins of doom.

I forgot yesterday that it was going on and went to Trader Joe’s after work. It was heavenly. Those stores are always so cramped.

I think many people really don’t like knowing that other people suffer. Much easier to pretend that suffering doesn’t exist by not interacting with it. But once you overcome that hurdle of realizing that suffering exists, then there’s so much joy to be found in being able to actually eliminate some of it.

K-12 STEM stuff is so fun! I’ve got to be a badge counselor a few times and that was a delight.

Do you have a stabby stick, or do you just wear gloves?

Is JustServe alright? The context I learned about it was Mr Beast teaming up with the LDS church, and I wasn’t sure if it was a Mormon thing or not.

One of my favorite things in college was checking out my fraternity chapters website for volunteer sign ups. It was fun to have a menu of opportunities every weekend. It would be nice to just go to an app or something instead of just trying to tune my Facebook algorithm.

Food pantries are great. One of the few good deeds in the world where the impact is something you can very directly see.

The Right essentially decided to destroy public education in response to desegregation.

The district I worked for was excellent in the 50’s and 60’s. Now, the only high school that isn’t a failure is the application school all the white kids get into.

 

Do you work with a specific community or organization, or just take opportunities as they come up?

What type of volunteer work do you like to do? Do you like the stuff where you are just a warm body - someone to hold a sign or greet people? Or more involved tasks that are more like professional work? What about shudders door knocking?

Would edo period Japanese even have exclamation marks?

 
 

Boyce was raised in Southern California and began working for aerospace firm TRW Inc. in 1974. In 1977 he and a childhood friend Andrew Daulton Lee were discovered to have been passing classified documents to Soviet officials in Mexico City in exchange for cash payments. Boyce was convicted of espionage and sentenced to 40 years in prison. During his trial he attracted attention in Australia for his disclosures about joint Australian–American activities at the Pine Gap base in Australia, as well as allegations of CIA involvement in the 1975 dismissal of the Australian prime minister Gough Whitlam.
