chatgpt is the coward's way out. if you have a paper due in 40 minutes you should be chugging six energy drinks, blasting frantic circus music so loud you shatter an eardrum, and typing the most dogshit essay mankind has ever seen with your own carpel tunnel laden hands

you know what? Fuck you. *turns your strong and stoic and serious character into a crying, traumatized, whimpering, curled up mess in the floor*
The fact that this is the third time this man is on the ballot for US president is shameful. The fact that the election is this close after everything this man has openly admitted to and been convicted of is shameful. There is no pride in being American when this is our reality. There is no pride in knowing that Americans were faced with the decision to either vote for a bigoted felon or for a candidate that could not make a single promise to work towards a ceasefire in Gaza. There is no pride in knowing that nearly a million people voted third party to make a point, forgoing securing the rights of women, trans folks, migrants, and minorities in the process. There is no pride in knowing that even voting for the side that does want to protect those rights doesn't secure our future, but could just be delaying the inevitable and clear decay of our democracy. It's a shameful day to be an American

I keep thinking about something a friend said to me a few days ago.
He said that he doesn't believe in celebrating birthdays because he only believes in celebrating real accomplishments, and he doesn't think that anyone is accomplishing anything by staying alive another year.
I could see how that might feel true for him, but that definitely isn't true for me. Every year I stay alive is an accomplishment worthy of celebration.
I think that is probably true for most of you reading this too.
Your existence is worth celebrating.

From the article:
“Today’s ruling by Judge (William) Alsup is an important win for National Park Service employees who were wrongfully terminated,” said Phil Francis, chair of the executive council of the Coalition to Protect America's National Parks. “These probationary employees must now be reinstated immediately and can return to the important business of protecting the irreplaceable resources and stories found at over 430 units of the National Park System. We know there are more fights ahead and we are grateful for the continued dedication and passion of our NPS employees who continue to protect our parks for future generations.”
