I wrote a short goodbye post on Reddit as we enter the last hours of Apollo. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the support over the years, it’s truly been the journey and dream of a lifetime building this app and meeting so many people. 🥰💙...
The people who voted for these politicians are by and large not the demographics being fucked over by those policies. I also used to feel like the right response was to laugh at these states, and being reminded that people who didn't want these policies are still suffering from them didn't really convince me of anything--after all, collectively, isn't that the community they're choosing to live in?
What changed my mind about that is realizing the harm is disproportionately distributed. Disenfranchised people are LESS likely to vote republican but MORE likely to suffer the effects of republican government. So when "they get what they voted for", it's really, "the poor get what the rich voted for", and that doesn't make me happy to laugh at at all.
So about that French #Lenormand deck I've been pining away for...

How tarot can be used to understand ourselves: An interview with social worker Jessica Dore

@ernest Please hang in there and take a breath. This site is amazing quality for a beta given the insane traffic coming over from the /r debacle. Pace yourself. Development and testing is a marathon, not a sprint (no pun intended).
I hope the many new arrivals (like me) appreciate how far kbin has come so quickly. /r wasn't solid for quite a while.
