We’ve talked about Anarchy before, in part how it’s an incomplete “plan” for a political system. Twitter is sort of a hub of conversation regarding Anarchism and Libertarianism, and there have been some increasingly interesting arguments there lately, with people making some of those same points and arguing about what Anarchists actually want as an …
Welcome back to our We Love Tattoos series! Check out the link to see part one, and to see part 3 and 4 in the future (hiiii future!). In this part, if you couldn’t tell from the (sub)title, Josh is going to talk about his tattoos! Tattoo #1: Hammer (August 2017) Artist: Michela Dilernia, currently at My …
We first had the idea for this blog a while ago, when Laine was trying to find the right words to describe her political leanings. Libertarian isn’t quite right. Anarchist is more accurate, but Anarchy as a whole seems like…a description of the problem more than a fully fleshed out societal plan. The fact is, …
Sometimes we see a pattern, and we try to explain it, and…we end up looking like this crazy conspiracy theory guy. Not because what we’re saying is far-fetched, more because it’s so interconnected and there are so many examples and we care about it so so much that it’s hard to be clear about the …
It’s time to start a new series, apparently! We both really love tattoos. Laine has been getting them off and on since she was 14, and while Josh only started a few years ago, but regardless of number of tattoos or time spent getting them, it’s one of the best ways to get either or both …
There are a lot of updates to our first kilt post. That post was written mostly on our experience before winter, and with a soft cotton kilt. Since then, I’ve gotten some new kilts, gotten some accessories, and dealt with the cold – but I still love kilts! Are Kilts a Good Idea? We get …
We are both very interested in DevOps and good development culture, and more recently, freedom and Libertarian principles. We found some interesting similarities between the two. Both focus on individual responsibility and accountability, both have been compared to “self-organizing anarchy” or “chaos that works.” Both favor empowered, informed distributed decision-making over centralized decision-making – essentially, …
We talk so much here about choice, and fear, and commitment. And hope, and struggle, and how to be a person, and how to be yourself in a world that seems to really wants you to be…different. Quieter, less sure, more afraid. Mostly, we tend to talk about how to be yourself in a world …
We’re going to use the word “asshole” a lot in this post. We both actually really love to swear, but if it offends you, feel free to skip. Sometimes that’s the most accurate word, though. We work in a lot of different cultures with a lot of different strong-willed people. We are also both, as you …
We have continued to talk between the two of us about how much we love “villains” of pop culture. We wrote a post about why Thanos is the best Avenger a long time ago, and decided to start a series. We recently watched The Dark Knight again (…again again, it’s a classic for a reason..) …
