little miss muffet was a freakazoid

Something interesting about this project has been that my algorithms started showing me a lot of "here's how I digitally detoxed my life" content from people who grew up in the modern tech era, how analogous it is to wellness influencer content, and how it mythologizes an era I lived through.

genuinely impressed with these guys' ability to miss the moment

Taxpayer dollars flood pregnancy centers. Oversight hasn't followed. • Stateline Editor’s note: This is the first report in an ongoing series. The patient came in with a belly full of blood, Dr. Leilah Zahedi-Spung recalled. Her pregnancy was ectopic, no longer viable, and could h...

Most pregnancy centers lack regulatory oversight because they are not medical practices and do not charge for services like pregnancy tests and ultrasounds.

State lawmakers give millions in taxpayer money to them anyway.

‘We’re going to make a tonne of money’: US Senator Graham on US war on Iran The veteran GOP senator appears to suggest that the war on Iran was launched to gain control over its oil supplies.

They made no secret of it back then, and they make no secret of it now

Pixar Exec Defends Cutting Gay Themes From Elio: We Make Movies, Not Therapy By Mathew Rodriguez them Pete Docter, Pixar's chief creative officer, has defended cutting the queer storylines from its box-office flop Elio. In a recent interview, Docter claimed that the animation studio didn't want their films to force parents to have conversations with their young children that they may not be ready to have.

Modern day Pixar trash won’t solve any sort of bigotry, but its rich for Pete Docter to say they make movies, not therapy when he’s responsible for tripe like Inside Out

I've written about medical neglect and torture in jails and prisons for a while now, and I don't think there's an issue that cuts as quick to the viciousness and hypocrisy festering in this country.

every voice on the raido is one of my chars. good luck competing with me

Newsom's argument here, and his actions elsewhere, are an appeal to power, as it is organized currently, to let him in.

His argument right is that he's not too weird to be one of them.

His argument left is that he's offering dignity + kindness in queer erasure, but still erasure of trans validity.

* THE inappropriate relationship

@BareLeft you do start to appreciate why lenin and stalin just shot everybody

john brown if he had socials

though the person I corrected was right in that Republicans wanted him done in for it because it was adultery, and the ones in the Senate just had to pretend it was because it was exploitation. but it was and he was impeachable for it, so as a proxy for doomed Flowers/Hill cases, he was exposed

grift instead of exploitation of youth here btw but OSU just dropped their President for an “inappropriate relationship” and it’s plainly civil court stuff regarding the school’s contract obligations

It’s easy to forget, but the reason disclosing an “inappropriate” relationship leads to firing/resignation pretty automatically- and only the biggest richest schools do otherwise- is because the sexual exploitation is always arguably illegal and buying out a contract is cheaper than a court strategy

i hope you understand that the collateral for your student loans is service is literally military service. when you tick the box that says "selective service" that's what you're doing.

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate. Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats, too, want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.

Third Way and other "moderate" Democratic groups and elites constantly bash progressive politicians and ideas. But moderate Democratic VOTERS really like raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations, Medicare-for-all, and Bernie Sanders. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

New Green MP given police escort after being confronted by anti-trans activists Newly-elected Green MP Hannah Spencer was ushered into a police car after she was confronted by anti-trans activists.
