If a fine is the penalty for breaking the law, it's only a crime if you can't pay. Otherwise it's just an expensive service that the justice system determines the price for.

She wrote on Instagram: "Me being

such an abled, white, cis body with its only nonconforming feature being a lil leg hair. Literally I've been getting rape threats in my DM inbox. I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to not possess all these privileges and try to exist in the world. Sending love and try to remember that not everybody has the same experiences being a person."

They claim how disgusted they are, how unattractive she is etc yet threaten her with s*xual violence.

Just another proof again that r*pe isn't about s*x but power and punishment.

Ugh, 2 days of work left to go.

Oh well, that's more money towards a replacement vehicle I guess. Hope the trucks are small ones.

Juvenile Heermann's gull (very dark all over) in flight, flying over very very shallow water. Flying to the right maybe two feet off the ground. It's shadow is to the right. Just below the shadow is a reflection on the sheen of water.

Got this really cool, ghostly picture by accident the other day in Dillon Beach, CA. It is a Heermann's gull with both it's shadow and reflection.

Economic policies and racism are only mildly correlated, historically.

Southern conservatives used to be pretty comfortable with the idea of redistributive policies. That was before black people had a chance to get some of it though.
