idk thinking about how sometimes you have to show up for people you aren't that close to, because sometimes you're just the person who's there. sometimes you invite a new friend to a party and end up having to sit with them through a panic attack. sometimes you run into an acquaintance on their worst day and they need to talk about what happened. sometimes someone is crying in a stairwell and you're the only one around to ask if they're okay. and none of this is "trauma dumping" or whatever the fuck it's just being there for people because you're the one in the room with them.

This was an interesting read. Surprisingly nonpreachy given the subject; and well worth the time.

“Your lithium batteries require cobalt. The Congolese cobalt mine employs a combination of fossil energy powered machines, cheap labor (child miners in this case), and deforestation to mine the cobalt. It results in sulfuric acid, arsenic and mercury in the surrounding air and water, cyanide as a waste product for milling, and the dumping of massive amounts of tailings onto adjacent land. In the Democratic Republic of Congo there have actually been a series of civil wars for control of these valuable minerals. And one hour of minimum-wage American labor is $7.50 an hour, whereas the minimum-wage Congolese makes $1.83 a day. This is unequal exchange expressed as an appropriation of time.”

I love the idea of a roomba topography map being the jumping on point for a liminal horror story. House of Leaves II: Roomba.

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
