Far-right chud in NYT: "They went about the ordinary business of life - laboring, raising children, worshipping their creator - untroubled by futile expectations of change." Medieval commoners: "I would rather the king and all kings were dead than that my son should be hurt on his little finger."

This this this! It’s the first thing I say when people ask how they can help the library. The second thing is show up, use our services. Come get your copies here instead of at Staples, we’re cheaper and the more you use us, the better are stats. The better our stats, the more our funding rises.

I am not kidding when I say that Romancing the Vote has out-organized and done more to materially improve conditions in the southeastern US than any explicitly leftist org. Romancelandia ain't here to fuck around.

Remember: Texas is not a red state. Texas is a massively voter-suppressed state, with a lot of people working very hard and very thanklessly to fix that.

The Kansas Supreme Court reaffirmed abortion protections in the state’s Constitution on Friday. It struck down Republican-backed laws that banned a common second-trimester abortion procedure and that created new licensing requirements for abortion clinics.

Seattle residents! Contact your City Council people before Tuesday to express support for this legislation. It waives codes that currently make it impossible to convert office spaces to residential ones. This will help with the housing crisis!

I didn't even have that religious nonsense in my head; I just didn't want to be saddled with a child when I wasn't ready. I grew up in NYC, so I wasn't worried about abortion access. No one should be worried about access!

A squire rushed in to the great hall.
"Someone," he shouted, "has taken the sword from the stone!"
The assembled knights halted their dinner.
"At last, a king?"
"Who?"
"I don't know," the squire said. "The sword is gone!"
Elsewhere:
"This," Indy muttered, "belongs in a museum.

Just going to put this out there: Biden has been the most legislatively effective president since LBJ. The most pro-labor president WW2. He's done more re climate change than any POTUS. He's built an international coalition for Ukraine despite Russia-fueld GOP opposition. And yeah: he's hella old.

There's a point where there's no deniability about how in the bag they are for Trump, and what ridiculous mountains they're trying to build from molehills. I hope they go even harder into that obviousness. It makes it more noticeable to the Offline folks.

Late last century there was a flu going around that put people on the toilet with a bowl in their lap. Super high fever. It was the first time I realized on a deeply personal level how the flu can kill people.

And we're currently driving up a summer surge in the west. Just a heads up, folks - you can go back to masking if you stopped! It's only reasonable to change your behavior based on new evidence. The current variant involves gastro distress. Who wants to spend a week imitating a hose at each end?

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

I had rewatched the original last week, with no idea a new one was about to be released! 🤣 I thought the beat-for-beat was done well as commentary on how times are different and the characters are older. And did they use the same house exterior in the climactic scene in both?

People who could never get pregnant really have NO IDEA how much the uterus-havers think about "What if I get pregnant when I don't want to be?" It starts when you're an adolescent, and doesn't go away until you hit menopause or have key organs removed. It's always in the back of the mind.

Organizers got enough signatures to put a measure protecting abortion on the ballot in Arkansas. In *Arkansas*. They had *no national support*. Ignore the pundits melting down over not being treated as Very Special Boys. Dobbs has fundamentally changed elections. Everything they know is wrong.

I'm a huge fan of the 3M V-flex. I order boxes of 50 directly from their legit resellers. I have a larger face than typical (I'm fat and of a jowly age). The nosepiece is bendable, and works well on my caucasian nose.

I confess I've quit worrying about what I might be breathing out unless I'm in a space with limited numbers of people and/or a specifically vulnerable person. If I'm the only person wearing a mask, what difference does it make if my germs escape. I haven't been sick in 4 years.
