If you thought we could survive all of this madness, think again. We’re at war with stupidity on a previously unimaginable scale.

If the US becomes a fascist state, it will differ from other historical examples because all of the steps toward it happened right out in the open in front of the whole world, with media coverage.

MTG is trash.

Full stop.

never argue with a fool, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience — Mark Twain MTG absolutely represents her district.

The idea that repressed queer people are our own bullies is usually wrong. But, fuck it, JK Rowling is 100% a trans dude right?

She has two pen names and they’re both masculine. She’s written before about how she wished she was a man, and that if transition had been accessible she probably would have done it in the 80s.

She wrote a book about a little boy that the world hates, hidden in a closet, who discovers he’s celebrated in a community of friends just for being the special guy that he is.

If you're like me, and Mother's Day is a rough day for you. I'm thinking of you, and I hope it's a good day anyway.

When my sister sold her home, she had her white realtor come to show the appraiser around. She LEFT HER OWN HOME during the process. Right now, my college friend is removing all signs of Blackness from her home before she puts it on the market. All art, photos, statues are being packed. All books are being turned spine in. THIS IS WHAT RACISM DOES.

Privacy is dead, and all of your data, including medical information, is constantly being sold to the highest bidder. This is a terrible situation, and there should be strict regulations for those who are breaking the law. Source https://www.threads.net/@thebrianpenny/post/C6y2ckfxaDj/

Where do you live and how do you feel about it?

Obviously, don't tell me exactly where you live, no actual addresses please! You can be as vague as you like.

I live in Central Missouri in the U.S.

Pros:

This is an absolutely beautiful place, green rolling hills, lots of rivers, lakes, ponds, and natural springs, cool caves to explore.

Lots of farming here, so great access to quality fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy.

It's relatively inexpensive to live here compared with other states, because it's a "flyover".

I'm close enough to three major cities, that it's an easy day trip, and I'm about halfway to anywhere in the U.S.

We have one of the best Conservation departments in the U.S. and this is one of the few things that is a bipartisan issue. Lots of awesome nature programs that are free or cheap, state parks, conservation areas, bird watching, hunting, boating, foraging available to everyone.

Cons:

Yeah, it's a big one, it is a RED STATE, while a lot of the cities are blue, there is a large rural population, that votes red. Abortion is not legal here. People often vote against their own self interest.

While I'm not against responsible gun ownership, lots of people aren't responsible, and people have access to guns that definitely should not.

We have very few employee protections here, while the cost of living is relatively low compared with other places, it's taken years to get to a $12 minimum wage, and it's still not enough.

I don’t particularly care what celebrities are wearing to the met gala.

But some people do.

Some people are passionate about fashion. Some people have had a shit week and just want to talk about something fun and not think about hard things for a few minutes. All of which is ok.

You can just let folks enjoy things.

My colleague Mitchell & partner just escorted a family of lost geese to the lake.

Safely navigating 2km of downtown #Toronto took 2 hours.

At one point, police stepped in to block traffic.

Strangers jumped in to help too.

He jokes: at @citizenlab we don't just help humans!

I love it when workers unionize.
