Black people who have been suicidal will tell you hanging themselves from a tree outside was always off the table.

Correcting strangers’ grammar uninvited is an act of hostility, so either jubilantly own that or don’t do it.

“No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them. Nobody is going to teach you your true history, teach you your true heroes, if they know that knowledge will help set you free.” - Assata Shakur 🥀

"As a result of the internal turmoil, 131 leases expired without the government actually vacating the properties. The situation has exposed the agencies -- and therefore taxpayers -- to steep fees..."

I think…people’s obsession with “a cause”…is precisely because autism’s genetic randomness is hard to stratify by social class……………..

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

The word “myriad” can be used as either a noun or an adjective, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

We recently visited Kolob Canyons at Zion National Park. We realized it would be a great place for a Milky Way photo. We came back later that night and we did it! #astrophotography #astrosky #nightsky #milkyway #nightsky #kolobcanyon

several SnailBonez™️ skeleton snails with a skull for a shell that actually look pretty sick but I mean,

several OctoBonez™️ brand octopus skeletons on a shelf along with a SpiderBonez™️ spider skeleton

my favorite subgenre of Halloween decoration is “skeleton of things that absolutely do not have skeletons”

A black bird perched on top of a tree branch. The bird is an Australian raven

The primary flight feathers on birds are called pinions. Crows have 9 pinions, while ravens have 10. So, the difference between a crow and a raven is simply a matter of a pinion.

If you are trans, you already have a grouping of states you must remain within if you are lucky enough to be in a safe state bordering at least one other safe state.

Mysterious Deaths Leave Ferguson Activists 'On Pins and Needles' Six men with connections to the protests following the shooting of Michael Brown have been found dead over the past four and a half years.

SIX people who helped organize the Ferguson protests were all murdered or died under mysterious circumstances

Do not let the white folks fool you into putting your name on ANYTHING ahead of ANY protest www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

“How you die does not redeem how you lived.”

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

If the shooter had killed a leftist podcaster, he would have a multi million dollar Go Fund Me to cover his legal fees tomorrow, and an interview lined up with Charlie Kirk.

“Kirk & I were on different sides of most political arguments. We were on the same side of the continued possibility of American politics.”

So it’s personal? B/c if you were a Black woman or transgender, Kirk would not imagine you having any role in the future of American politics.

One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say.
Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.

In 1965:

-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.

-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.

-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

Also, repeating one of my early viral posts on this site:

Parents do not have rights. Parents have responsibilities. CHILDREN have rights.

Y'know. Artisanal. Bespoke. Farm to table.

I have found seeing an internist as your primary helps a lot with this as they are the docs most interested in actually solving puzzles.

I think we should be honest that the *Greatest Generation* people [who were white] fought fascism ABROAD while they overwhelmingly supported fascism AT HOME. And frankly, those chickens have come home to roost now.

Could it be wealth???? This is why all research is important because some act like the answers are impossible to find.

people might say if you jail one president for crimes youll end up jailing all presidents for crimes to which i would say rad
