My understanding is that it is Egyptian for cat. I may well be wrong, but that is the word Mau responded to when I first adopted him.

How would malpractice as a lawyer even work? If you are a lawyer and you purposely break the law for your client, this insurance pays your fines? Insurance is not immunity, right?

And his name is Mau ๐Ÿพ

Just a shift in population sizes is not enough. When the dominant group is the population minority, things can get worse. Consider South African during Apartheid.

I've found myself mixing in "fuck all the way off" too.

I already read the first story. It reminded me of a poem by Audre Lorde that I read decades ago. It was beautiful!

I received it today. What a treat! Thank you not just for the great book, but for the card, the stickers, the post card, and the bookmark. Wow! You made my day! ๐Ÿฅฐ

Just ordered. Can't wait to read it. Thank you.

Iโ€™m reading through Trumpโ€™s defamation suit against the Wall Street Journal and it is honestly astonishing how the President of the United States is consistently represented by the whiniest, least rhetorically-skilled lawyers in the world.

My mother died three weeks ago. The grief is just overwhelming sometimes and surprising too because our relationship was complicate. On top of that, this fucking bill and watching this country slide further into shit. I suppose I should be glad she is not alive for this.

Currently it is 2 hours but only for one transfer. I read an article that the MTA is considering expanding to 3 hours across 2 transfers.

NYC has problems with what are called food deserts. The corner stores are very limited especially in regard to fruits and vegetables. There is a green cart program that was supposed to help with food deserts but it has fallen short.

Like this motherfucker works. I would support tax dollars for a golf course at Gitmo that only inmates can use.

This argument does not work. We fall into the what about all the time. That side doesn't give a shit. They get privileges, we get bullshit. Pointing out hypocrisy doesn't work when people have no moral or ethical stances.

As a kid, in a high school civics class, the teacher talked about USSR propaganda. I added that the USSR learned how to do effective propaganda from us. That teacher and I did not get along well.

All of this, all the death, suffering, cruelty, so that a con can grift a nation for himself and a few very wealthy people to hoard more wealth. And why don't we stand up? Because the American dream is to get rich at any expense with no work. That is what this country loves.

I love rainy days. This is what I call the "roof lake" on the building next to my apartment.

As much as I would like to see the criminal president in prison, I really want to see Steven Miller get what he deserves. This is yet another piece of shit who has been disowned by his own family. This guy needed to be taken out after the first administration. There would be no second without him.

1 light year would take us around 27,000 years to travel. This is 120 light years away. Nobody is coming to save us.

The ways in which the people in this administration target particular groups of vulnerable people of whom they have no real knowledge about is absolutely enraging. I hate these pricks so very much.

To assume that men are transitioning to being women because our lives are easier, is to assume that being a woman is easier than being a man. This is not a good assumption.
