"They built a machine to gentrify the English language." This is a horror story. A real-life one. The one happening to us right now. But you need to read it because it shines with truth. It's also Luddite fanfiction and I am here for that! And it's hopepunk... because of course it is.
Thank you to @npub1k783...x2jh for sharing it and to @npub1zwzc...s8aj for writing it.

I love this! And especially with Trump basically opening up National Parks to sell to the highest bidder, it's an *atrocity* to have his face on the pass.
π€¬I worked at NCAR briefly as a postdoc and then a researcher and it's one of the more amazing places I've ever worked (and I've worked at *several* NASA facilities, so that was some stiff competition). I just weep at all the destruction of science this nightmare administration is wrecking.
