Is it time to get rid of legal gender status? - ABC listen Most of us have Male or Female registered on our birth certificates - but what does this certification mean, in terms of its effect on our lives? There are many other things about us that have at leas...

I don't know what was or wasn't proposed in CA, but..... there might be a case for getting rid of legal gender. Here's where I first heard it explained: www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

You can get it with veggie turkey now. Tho I think the stuffing probably has chicken stock in it. But some people simply choose not to ask about that.

A pro-ICE sheriff in a purple Philly suburban county got the boot as well.

Feel like law enforcement races are the ones least likely to flip to Dems, but last night even those did.

And a pro-ICE sheriff lost in a county that is 80% white. So this wasn’t just the cratering of Hispanic GOP support.

Patrice won in the documentary category, directed by Philly's own Ted Passon -- others may know him as the wholesome "Philly fix my car" fundraiser when his car was flipped after the 2008 Phillies win, or the director of the PBS docuseries about Krasner.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional

ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Did you know that the Founders were so vehemently against having a standing army that might do what Comer is calling for that they explicitly wrote into the Constitution that Congress has to reauthorize the existence of the Army every two years or the entire thing has to disband?

a fluffy black orb like a soot sprite is sitting on a white floor. there’s a small crescent shape of white right in the middle, with a black round spot centered within it. at first glance, it has the appearance of a single eyeball floating in the middle of the void. at second glance, it still looks like that. but maybe on third examination, it’s clearer that the white is from a dog’s little snout, and the black in the middle is the dog’s nose, and any other distinguishing feature like eyes, ears, and paws are absorbed into the black void.

an exceedingly fluffy black dog stands expectantly on the floor and looks up at a little kid in a high chair who presumably has snacks to share. the little bit of white on the dog’s nose and their pink tongue is the only interruption in the otherwise endless sea of darkness. but at least from this angle, they have a more defined body and tiny feet, so she’s a little less β€œorb” and a little more β€œdog.”

We only rate dogs. This is the goth cousin of Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. Please understand it's not just a phase, and only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10 (credit u/vincidelaunc)

Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody.

Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.
