Completely forgot about the eclipse today so it totally caught me off-guard while I was at the garden center. Found this cute little plant right afterwards, though, and it was so cheap! Taking name suggestions!

This week, Uganda's Constitutional Court upheld a law that makes homosexuality punishable by death.

To justify it, the Court cited the US Supreme Court opinion in Dobbs as an example of using "the nation's history and traditions...to overrule the broader right to individual autonomy"

Given that Brianna Ghey, Nex Benedict, and the unnamed London skating rink victim were all attacked by cis white women, I think we need to come to grips **pretty quickly** that young women are being just as radicalized toward reactionary violence and bigotry as young men.

Dunn, Lavelle, and Sonnet???!! I’m new to soccer but this seems like the dream team with Williams and Purce already there.

Happy new year

"Would you tell us about a time that you were personally victimized by a trans person?" J.K. Rowling: "Yes, I remember like it was yesterday: you see, I was advocating for their total annihilation and then a few of them said some mean words to me on the internet."

A screenshot of a tweet from San Antonio’s local newspaper, The Express News (@ExpressNews). The text reads, “Sen. Rafael Edward Cruz, who uses the preferred name Ted, has introduced a bill to limit the use of preferred names and pronouns.” Below the text is a link card featuring a photo of the aforementioned Cancun-loving demagogue, holding a microphone up to his undeniably punchable face.

I once told a phlebotomist I was hard to stick so she should go through my hand, it doesn’t bother me. She said “well you haven’t had me before” then proceeded to stick both arms before finally moving to my hand 🙃
