it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

This is in direct opposition to the policy Etown adopted and the ILC is pushing elsewhere. The court said parents can already access school records. Gender expression does not require modifications to official records.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

If no one has asked you yet, will you consider running for office?
All politics are local, but in 2025, we need to leave no race unchallenged.
Some local offices require just an hour or two of time each month.
Are you ready to run? runforsomething.net/run/

“Importantly, students’ rights don’t flow from an executive guidance or order, but from Title IX, and case law from courts interpreting Title IX. [Trump’s order] can’t rewrite Title IX and case law that has interpreted Title IX to protect LGBTQ students."

Call at least one Congressional Republican’s office every weekday and urge them not to confirm Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard or Cash Patel…OR, ask how they can justify Trump’s J6 pardons. (“Is someone missing a spine?”) Flood the phone lines everyday. You’ll feel better for having made the effort. ✊🏼

What are we planting in January?
If you're last frost date is before the 15th of April, here's some ideas!

A star cluster is shown inside a large nebula of many-coloured gas and dust. The material forms dark ridges and peaks of gas and dust surrounding the cluster, lit on the inner side, while layers of diffuse, translucent clouds blanket over them. Around and within the gas, a huge number of distant galaxies can be seen, some quite large, as well as a few stars nearer to us which are very large and bright.
The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which, have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
This image of the Ring Nebula, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, appears as a distorted doughnut. The nebula’s inner cavity hosts shades of blue and green, while the detailed ring transitions through shades of orange in the inner regions and pink in the outer region. The ring’s inner region has distinct filament elements. Stars litter the scene, with a particularly prominent star with 8 long spikes in the top right corner.
An infrared light echo traveling from the lower left through the upper right of the image. The image is speckled with dozens of white stars, some showing Webb’s signature 8-point diffraction spikes, against the black background of space. The image also shows tightly packed, glowing red filaments that resemble muscle fibers or wood grain.

.@repfiedler.bsky.social, cochair of the House Afterschool Caucus, said the “first-of-its-kind” funding would “make it possible to bring kids off waitlists and into afterschool programs, retain highly-trained professionals, and invest in our collective future.”
