  • My city specifically says, as a homeowner, I can do basic electrical without pulling permits. Now I’m in the South and I’ve rented houses which were internally wired with lamp cord - people can and will do some crazy fucking things. But my city doesn’t have an unusually high electrical fire rate.

    As always on an old house tho - grandfathered in many ways - I point to things and say “it was like that when I bought it.” Why yes, I’m prepared to claim the EV hookup is part of the original 1902 electrical service.






  • I often feel this way and my inner-angry-atheist called the shots for years, but so many of us have done this, and we’ve formed a bubble thinking angry atheism is spreading and it’s not. In reality we’ve just ceded the most important debates, the ones that morality can be baked into - LGBT rights, immigrant rights, death penalty, etc - leaving the left without the support we need to win in these arenas.

    If you really want progressive ideals to win, drop the attitude about religion, run the other way - embrace religious progressives, support progressive faith communities, and watch as we start winning elections again.
