When I say MAGA is post-truth, one of the things I mean is the movement—along with its fellow travelers and apologists—approaches the world insisting that there’s no such thing as factual reality, there are only words and images that are good or bad for one’s team.

Women are not your property

You aren’t entitled to us

I hope he’s prosecuted to the full extent or the law

Two lives have been snuffed out because some men aren’t being taught how to handle rejection.

Because they’re being taught that we are less than.

That we are property.

That we “owe them”.

All too often this type of stalking and harassment isn’t taken seriously enough by law enforcement and society in general.

Painting of a range of fungi in a woodland scene.

It’s also #UKFungiDay today.
🖼️ Fungi, Ainsworth.

A drawin in warm and light tones of The Folk at the Rootwood. Fritti (an orange tabby with a star shaped spot on his forehead) is lying in the foreground amongst red Flowers. He is bathing in rays of yellow light beaming through the canopy. Light green trees form the backdrop while a scattering of cat silhouettes is sitting amonst them. A purple haze in the upper quadrant adds a mystic tone.

“But our own selves are like pearls, created by layer after layer of present laid over past until the original thing is completely hidden.”
― Tad Williams, Tailchaser's Song
