“To have loved truly, even though you shall have loved in vain, will be a consolation when you are as old as I am. It is something to have had a heart.”

Trying to decide whether or not to be excited when I start seeing a lot of overlap between my CS theory classes and my linguistics classes, specifically syntax and phonetics.

Like, I knew they go hand in hand really well (obviously, since I'm studying both) but its a whole other thing to see how they are both systematically approached in very similar ways.

fucked up if true

“I hate money. I hate having to think about it. I hate having to use it to measure what’s valuable. I hate that amassing it is a measure of a person’s worth. I hate that some human beings’ inability to gather enough of it means they should be thrown away. I hate the way it dominates all our lives, the way it dominates society. The thing I hate the most about money is that it isn’t neutral when it should be. Other people hate money too. They hate having to organize every part of their lives around it. They hate having everything they require to survive (food, shelter, clothing, medicine) being held ransom to it. They hate their children’s futures being held at gunpoint by it. They hate the constant, prickling fear of living pay check to pay check. They hate the indignity of low wages for honest work (if they’re even paid at all anymore). They hate money and how it’s used to control and demean them and coerce their participation in the injustices being perpetrated against them. They hate feeling enslaved.”
