The most ridiculous thing about US notions of decorum, is that people are expected to be silent when Black women are attacked.🤷🏿♂️
If a Black woman is attacked and no one says anything, it's allowed to slide. But if a Black woman is attacked and people say anything in response, either calmly and politely like AOC did, or with an in-kind response like Crockett did, then all the "neutral" parties come pouring out of the woodwork, worried about "decorum."
@mekkaokereke "Decorum" is something that, apparently, only applies to people with vaginas or people with melanin. We have PLENTY of video of white men misbehaving in public, and no one asks THEM for decorum.
Have a great weekend, friends! It’s cold 🥶 and rainy 🌧️ here 🇨🇦 with a windchill below freezing coming tonight, but we have a long weekend at least (Victoria Day on Monday). 😄 -Skye 💕
So now SpaceX, with no working spacesuit, and years behind on it's multi-billion dollar moon lander, is lobbying NASA to go to the Hubble Space Telescope.
"A successful private mission could improve Hubble's ability to point at celestial objects and, by boosting its orbit, extend its life by years... however, an accident could leave the multibillion-dollar telescope broken — or, even more tragically, tethered to the dead bodies of the astronauts sent to repair it."
@mastodonmigration IOW, Elon is worried about being sued by every government on the planet that has any investment in astronomy. We all know his likelihood of being able to move Hubble without catastrope is small. For the love of god, stop putting shit in this madman's hands!
The humans have dismantled my favourite strategic redeployment spot (under the bed) so I have nowhere to go in times of extreme peril. :ablobcatcry: #cats#CatsOfMastodon

Day Two of the Giant Clean-up. Getting rid of 40 years worth of clothing. I have tee-shirts older than my friends' kids and grandkids. There's no room for this in my new life.
Now that I'm a Founding Member of the Happy Death Society, I urge you all to watch "The Happiness of the Katakuris" and decide on REAL change. The bodies piling up along the way are just - what's that term we like so much? - oh, yes, collateral damage
Swedish Death Cleaning is not about deaths? WHO KNEW?
Anybody want to pitch in with pick and shovel? No, there really AREN'T any bodies we want to bury. Besides, we're too old to smack 'em in the head with a shovel. We just need to turn the compost, clip and cut all the weedy stuff, and chop it up in one of those electrical thingies for the FIRST NEW compost of this year. (We turfed out the old stuff to put in the barrels, and the lemon and limes are SO HAPPY! )
Tomato plants looking good, pictures will follow! Buds on one plant already!
I wanted to bake something today because the weather was cool, but I couldn't remember the recipe, so I had to look it up, but the recipe book was packed, so I had to move a bunch of boxes to get to it, but while they were out of the way I decided to put the kitchen rug down, then as long as I was at it I unpacked some dishes, then I unpacked my cookbooks then decided to put them on the tea cart, then put every else back nicely & now the kitchen looks better but I'm too tired to bake. #ADHD
@gfarrell This is EXACTLY why MANY white people vote against their own best interests. The fear that somewhere out there, a BLACK person will benefit from that vote is enough. Sheer spite, malice, & resentfulness has built up in about a third of the population into a toxic miasma that beclouds all our senses just when we need them most. These idiots will babble us all to destruction and death.
