Earthling, asymmetrical, 2.4% Neanderthal, 1.3% Denisovan, occupying the autism spokes on the human spectrum. Wildly strong sense of justice. Proud feminist. Owned by cats. My superpower is losing belongings not hanging around my neck. NO to hate.

I'm rooting for the orcas and the dolphins, too, with no apologies.

Yes, similar to *you high-functioning autistics are lucky, it just means you're savants with amazing talents and you don't really have challenges.* Right, I can levitate and pass through walls, I just don't like to show off. /s Glad your therapist is enlightened.

Same here. 72YO and I still remember how sick I was with measles. I've always felt grateful that I didn't come out of it blind, mentally disabled, otherwise with lifelong health problems as a result.

U.S. voters, take note. We MUST do this, defeat the far Right/GOP/TFG.

News organizations need to advocate loudly for the democracy that makes the press free and possible. I work in small, left-leaning press. I don't want us facing show trials in the future. We won't stop publishing our articles. That won't change. And we aren't going anywhere.

The thug is already emboldened by this dangerous farce of a ruling. We need to keep him out of power, him and his inner circle of flying monkeys.

I was a HS senior when the Kent State shooting happened. We were going to college a few months after it happened. We were in civics class two days after the shooting. Emotions were running high. Kent State students were hanging signs from dorm windows, THEY CAN'T KILL All OF US.

"With fear for our democracy, I dissent." -- Justice Sotomayor. A dissent is usually worded, "I respectfully dissent." Justice Sotomayor omitted that word. I share her fear and her absence of respect for the six disreputable justices.

After the seething hatred and abuse the female half of the species has suffered through centuries, humanity has forfeited any right to even meekly request any sacrifice or contribution from women, much less to make demands.

Dorcas Esop Honorable (c. 1770 – 1855) was Nantucket Island's last Indigenous inhabitant. She was of Wampanoag origin, and was raised speaking the Massachusett language, a language that has gone extinct but has been the subject of a revival movement.

Buffalo Calf Road Woman, or Brave Woman, was a Northern Cheyenne woman. In 1876 she saved her wounded warrior brother, Chief Comes in Sight, in the Battle of the Rosebud (as named by the US), helping in winning the battle. She also fought with her husband in the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

Agreed. Cannot do it. I'm going to watch out my kitchen window for Jamie, the groundhog living in the garden. Watch 3rd Rock from the Sun episodes on You Tube. Anything else. I'd rather squeeze lemon juice into my paper cuts.

The trump supporting reptiles are reciting their party line, *Biden will be on a controlled substance.* Look how scared they are of the guy with the stutter. The guy who's really the same age, give or take a couple of years, as the felon they want us to support.

Aileen Cannon is obstructing justice. She belongs under indictment and charged, the same as the felon she's taken on as her client, the former Thug-in-Chief.

The hypocrites trying to indoctrinate us don't believe in any of this themselves. And the thug they want to install in the Presidency has broken every one of them. Craven, cynical, and dangerous.

Difference. When I was young, I would look at the people who were laughing at me because I was different, and I would silently say, "I'm laughing at you because you're all alike." "Silently" because they could be hateful and violent. I knew them better than they knew me.

If the foolish voters among us inflict us with the GOP candidate and regime in November, they've put in power what Francis Scott Fitzgerald called "the tyranny of the weak." Dangerously unfit to hold power.

Several months ago, I used vaseline to plug up a small hole my cat made in a window screen. It worked well until today. The extreme heat has turned the Vaseline to liquid, and it's dripping down the screen. This is Philly PA in June 2024.

Music. One song that really warms my soul is the song Glad on the Traffic album John Barleycorn Must Die. The title sounds dark, but the music isn't.

Consistent with Right wing positions on women. We're lesser beings who live under male rule. We don't have rights.

I put tubs of water in the garden for any fur-bearing neighbors who pass through--squirrels, birds, chipmunks, groundhogs, cats, whomever. It's hot out there. 🐾

Alarming. Doesn't matter to Republicans that there is no merit to their attacks, they know the cost will silence anyone who speaks up against them. Putin-esque.

A gentle ask of my BlueSky friends: Can you please share my upcoming FREE virtual show so more people know about it? Ask A Sex Abuse Survivor is an interactive play where I talk about (among other things) the healing power of Doctor Who. More info at the link.

Exhibit A of what an adult lacking a conscience and any semblance of integrity looks like. My hunch is that she enjoys sabotaging this case while making sure we see it and we know we can't stop her.

Another good way, someone with an MSW who is no longer working, the way they talk to me after I've shared about trauma, they make me feel worse. I start ignoring a lot of what they say.

Any of us not Native Americans are descendants of immigrants and sovereignty never was ceded. And yeah, the "only legal immigration" claim rings hollow to me, too.

Just read about AI and Google. Wish I hadn't this late in the day. I have to find something funny and mindless to watch before I go to sleep so I'm not waking up shaking from the nightmares. Sheesh.

He is dangerous, as is the former Thug-in-Chief and anyone in his inner circle. He should not be walking around loose. Get him off the streets and take his phone.

IMO. Libertarians and followers of the former Grifter-in-Chief strike me as people who want the benefits and rights of functioning government and democracy, they just don't want the responsibilities that come with it.
