Divorcing an abusive husband made me an abolitionist eco-feminist. There is more revolutionary politics in inner family systems therapy than you realize. I love reading & writing sci-fi, fantasy, romance, poetry, and comedy.

...and at first I was like "The prosperity that I seek seeks me" then was like, "nvm. Bitch, any money that comes out of my account is coming back DOUBLE, okay?"

So, just talk how you talk. It will be more honest and easy.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use β€œreasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

IMHO the actual thing about DV is that no one actually wants to listen to the victims or think about who we actually are, full human beings.

Just so everyone is aware, the same Trump regime that is claiming to be β€œtough on crime” has refused to release victims’ services grants for the next fiscal year.

Federal funding for programs that serve survivors of DV, trafficking, and other forms of violence runs out at the end of the month.

Beijing is not β€œdelighted” by American failures. It’s more of a brows-raised pityβ€” like sitting next to a rich kid at lunch who suddenly moons everyone, foams at the mouth, and starts babbling. You gently edge out of the splatter radius with one quiet sarcastic comment. That’s Beijing.

I agree @octoberk.bsky.social we need to make more fun of people who use AI.

Also, most autism is neurodiversity and only the most severe cases are disabling disease.

If my writing about autism does anything, whether it be in my books, my columns or my reported stories, I hope it advances the idea that autistic people are whole human beings as they are with legitimate needs and inner lives that deserve to be told the same as other stories.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Roman cops killed Jesus. Jews literally didn’t have the jurisdiction to kill Jesus because they were not allowed to govern their own country.

Western Nations’ Support for Palestinian Statehood May Prove to Be Only Symbolic While a massive loss for Israel, past diplomatic breakthroughs have not led to more Palestinian freedom in reality.

Many Palestinians and other critics say Western nations are using the issue of recognizing Palestinian statehood to absolve them from the far more challenging diplomatic task of holding Israel accountable for the genocide in Gaza.

Erika Kirk, let’s root for you to be giving β€œabolish the death penalty” speeches in a few years. πŸ™

That’s where women usually start when they are unpacking and rebelling against right wing theology. It often stalls thereβ€” but sometimes it grows into more.

She pays lip service to the patriarchal theology, and immediately follows it up with a plea for Kirk’s fans not to exploit their patriarchal power.
