Isaac Asimov on, "If God is Dead, Everything is Permitted?"

It's a fantastic book - download it - buy it - or just borrow it and read it. The Dust Bowl Triolgy are worth the effort.

A screencap of the Tableau Dashboard "USA Disappeared Tracker" which monitors persons "disappeared" in the USA by ICE.

This is the home of the USA Disappeared Tracker Dashboard.
DM to let us know of a person to add to the tracker or to volunteer to help!

I'm gonna start referring to him as Headass

Reminder that the government is killing disabled people, and anyone supporting the government is completed in killing them.

Not going to be nice mince words about it, if you are offended by this then you are part of the problem.

I had a secret clearance once so, shit, maybe 🤷🏻‍♀️

Have we tried the "if we take care of people and meet their needs, they'd be a lot less likely to take money to spy for a foreign power" angle to encourage the us government to suck less?

It's important to sit down and remember where we've been so we can see how far we've come, and I'm still moving forward.

I have survived somewhere around 13 miscarriages. I have fallen down the alt right pipeline and clawed my way out of it (with help from excellent friends.) I have broken the cycle of abuse in my family. I work every day to become wiser, be more compassionate, and learn more than my parents.

Sometimes, I realize I have forgotten who I am. I am the eldest daughter. I enlisted in the Navy during war time, the first woman in my family to do so. I survived three deployments while my command did their best to smear my name, and I did it all without compromising my morals.

Thinking of Dolly Parton today.

Happy Weird Pride to my fellow weirdos!

Y'all think JD Vance has been quiet because he's still working his way through all the new furniture in the white house?

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Heartbreaking news… Tonight, many of our friends were let go, and tomorrow, even more will follow. Word is that all probationary employees at NPS will be let go. 😭

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

So legalized bribery?

I have to agree there. Fascism doesn’t happen overnight, although this is admittedly faster than I expected.

Because you will face zat decision

ALWAYS.

I have a little plea and it's this: please keep posting about things that aren't The Horrors. I am not saying to not look at or be informed about The Horrors. What I am saying—what I am genuinely kind of begging you to do—is keep posting about books and movies and sunsets and pets and joy. Please.
