You do not have to hand it to the Catholic bishops. In the same meeting, they banned gender affirming care at all Catholic hospitals nationwide.

In Kansas, someone can be arrested and have their life ruined well before they even have their first appearance in court. This isn't justice—which is why we're working so hard to fix our broken systems.

Any frilly crochet is also non Euclidean and hyperbolic!

the watering-down of “transmedicalism” and butchering of its original meaning is quite literally lateral violence against transsexuals and i think we should talk about that more often

Gives cold assessment, is accused of being emotional

What happens when former confederate states attempt to restablish the confederacy? I can't see a scenario of collapse where that doesn't happen.

The people you and I are more likely politically aligned with are in cities not just in the blue state but through the country

Breaking into successor states is choosing to abandon minorities in red states.

Food supply chain is a real issue as well.

Wildly different situations, wild to assume no one would fight to maintain the union, wild to assume things would not reflect the American civil war but would reflect the the dissolution of the USSR instead.

I mean that would be ideal but I don't think that happens without a civil war that ends with a 30-50%+ death rate which I'd like to avoid because that seems worse for everyone.

The tent of metaphor is bigger than it seems

Your building a big tent.

A big tent.

A bigger tent.

I'm building the biggest tent.

The tent tent.

Tent Tent Global LLC.

A boutique big tent consulting firm, we don't build the tent we are your favorite tent builders favorite Tent Tent LLC

What if I don't like tents, can we do picnics instead? The weather is nice still, maybe we can have a bonfire instead and burn all the tents.

What I don't get is why we need to share a tent to share a cause or goal

Like I don't need you in my tent for both of our tents to want to protect our republic. We can be aligned on that but not in a single tent.

Even if we are in a big tent we aren't all sitting at the same table

There's just the stink of sexism around the assumption that women past like college age are all mumsy figures who don't really understand all this complicated politics stuff but want everything to be nicer.

You say "ratio me" like it's a terrible horror to engage in public dialog. Lmao.

Not entirely maybe? I assume he's talking about the cola bottles

Bassically 6 pounds of wax

But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think? Ursula K. Le Guin

it just feels like.

Dearest Emmaline, my stints at the front line are too horrific for words to convey. An Antifa officer in an inflatable frog suit gyrated its hips at us for hours on end. The taunts & insults they hurl defy our teargas & pepperball bullets…

They bounce off the mascot costumes!

Pray for me, my dear…

Pew Survey: Only 31% Of Trans People Report Being Accepted By Their Parents The survey comes as transgender people experience a legal assault from the far-right in the United States.

One of the most perverse ideas on the anti-trans side is that trans people are instantly affirmed and celebrated by everyone when they come out and that acceptance is driving a social contagion.

It's the ultimate form of gaslighting against our community.

It's systemic, my parents where told not to keep talking to me in Spanish because I had dyslexia, my teachers punished us for speaking in Spanish at school, in highschool they would not let me take Spanish lessons because the school assumed I already spoke Spanish...

Have you never heard a Chicano say the "the border crossed us"

Hell my family settled in New Mexico three generations after my oldest European ancestor arrived and still before anyone arrived on the Mayflower

Mexican american war? The US forcibly conquered us in 1848, stole our land, murdered us, and did not treat us as full citizens until Hernandez vs Texas in the 1950s despite the promises of the treaty of Hidalgo.

God I miss before I knew what a creep Chris Calvin was.

Why are the shoes interesting other than just being a pair of sneakers instead of like combat boots?

My partner started hrt shortly after we watched this together lol

It's is one of my favorite movies

YouTube video by Mexico Unexplained The Child Heroes and the American Invasion of Mexico: Mexico Unexplained, Episode 111

On this day, September 13, 1847, 6 teenager cadets died defending Chapultepec Castle in the Battle of Chapultepec. Called the Niños Héroes, these 6 cadets gave their lives rather than surrender to Americans during the invasion of Mexico City in 1847.
