State Department issues unusual worldwide LGBTQ+ travel alert - Folks, things are getting worse everywhere as reactionary #Conservatives, often #evangelicals turn back the clock on diversity, equity and inclusion. In their rush to condemn all who are not like them, the devout and pious are sowing hatred and violence. Proving once again that religion and right-wing politics are a bane to progress and social justice. They’re just not having it. #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #Travel https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/17/state-department-worldwide-caution-alert-lgbtq-00158753

Catherine Russell, the head of UNICEF, said this week that of the 600,000 children in Rafah, southern Gaza, all of them are either injured, or sick, or malnourished. Much of the Gaza population has been forced south to Rafah by the Israeli military, which had promised them it was a safe zone. She added, “Over 200 days of war have already killed and maimed tens of thousands of children in Gaza.”

Look… I’m as furious with Joe Biden’s support for Israeli genocide as any proper progressive leftist. I feel personally betrayed by our current policies. That said, we can work on that and have momentum in our favor. Just look at what’s happening on our college campuses, surely a positive harbinger of things to come. I also understand the existential threat to democracy and all we hold dear that DJ Trump and his remade fascist party represent to us all. There is absolutely no comparison between the two, they are NOT the same. I will hold my nose and VOTE FOR Biden - while continuing to work for a and justice for Israeli . I trust you will do the same.

Happy Spring to all… being non-religious, a most definitely NOT Christian, our extended family celebrates the coming of Spring on this day, the resurrection of life itself after a long Winter of rest. We gather, feast, celebrate family, watch football, listen to music and generally chill together. Today, we’ll also be bleaching our well - fouled after the last rains. Spring chores on our 8 acre hobby farm are beckoning…

Unpopular opinion: Antoni Gaudi was a terrible architect whose designs are frightful, the opposite of eye candy. Been there, seen the twice - decades apart. So it will finally be done, complete after 140 years and long after Gaudi’s death. Structure wasn’t even properly permitted until 2019.

Boeing whistleblower: “If anything happens, it’s not suicide”. This whole scandal just keeps getting weirder and weirder. How the CEO is not gone by now is beyond me. He presided over the multi-year mess, he should either resign or be forced out by the board.
