if only russian influence on us politics meant getting universal health care like they have

mmm free lunch. yes, i break into vegetarian cuisine rather than vegan food when it's free.

So in conclusion all capitalists are bad #ACAB

This post brought to you by running into people who want to use their religion to support historical slavery rather than recognizing that slavery is a grave evil and that the proper way to do religion is to universally apply their principles to continue to move past former modes of evil.

John Chrysostom on slavery, same could be said about capitalism:

"... If anyone would ask where slavery comes from and why it has stolen into human life -- for I know that many are keen to ask such things and desire to learn -- I shall tell you. It is avarice that brought about slavery. It is acquisitiveness which is insatiable. This is not the original human condition. Remember that Noah had no slave, nor Abel nor Seth nor those after them. This horrid thing was begotten by sin. It does not come from our earliest ancestors. We pay our ancestors no respect by blaming them. We have insulted nature by this system."

John Chrysostom, a fifth century writer on slavery. Can be said about capitalism as well.

"Social arrangements, like all laws made by sinners, acknowledge these class distinctions [between master and slave]. But we are all called to accountability before the law of the same Lord and Master of all. We are called to work goodness toward all alike and to dispense the same fair rights to all. God's law does not recognize any of these class distinctions...." (continued)

So another grad student dropped by my office and said, hey, our group is getting some input on how we're going to run a study, if you want to drop by tomorrow there's free lunch, and I was all like I AM SO THERE #freelunch

#acab: all capitalists are bad.

my name is john mccain and i kill people.

Presenting at conference in 8 days, I'm going to have to triage this down since I'm not going to get all of this done. Fortunately it's like an 8:30am session. Also I really should have stayed another day at the conference.

My aloe vera is having a baby https://witches.town/media/Q4KxLIvja54-QC3m9KA

i think my aloe vera is having a baby

oh no the big conference is in like 12 days and i totally have to finish my research still

So I pick up heavy things and put them down but recently decided maybe I should try to go from point A to point B quickly every once in a while, too, preferably on foot. So I'm almost done iwth Couch to 5K and I dug out an old GPS watch thing I had for some reason. Did you know it's really hard to get Linux to work with those things? Specifically Garmin. People wrote some free software (GOD BLESS YOU, THANK YOU) but poorly documented it and it's old so you have to figure out how to get it to work right. Also web sites to track this data seem to kind of suck - always wanting to sell things. #running

Something a friend of mine just said:

If you don't think every single human on this planet should have access to health care, then I don't believe you are a good person.

Amen.

everything the republicans want to do is evil without exception.
