Virginia Woolf, more than a hundred years ago:

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

He hires all kinds of idiot weirdos but when he fires em it’s just the women, huh.

Living under Donald Trump is like living with an abusive husband whose first move is to isolate you from everyone who loves you. Cut off the support system, poison the relationships, make sure there’s nobody left to run to. Then he can do whatever he wants. That’s exactly what he’s done to America.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

Tailor Bird sews leaves together with plant fibre to form its nest!

I simply can’t believe Congress and the cabinet are sitting around, totally fine with what is absolutely demented behavior from the president.

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children.

Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future.

If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it.

So must you.

Yet be well assur’d
You put sharp weapons in a madman’s hands.

Come on then, and remove him.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

Love that Corgi 🤣🐶

Yeah Bruins!

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.

LISTEN. Thank you, Cecellia Wang.

Cutting methane is one of the fastest, cheapest ways to slow warming.

The latest Global Methane Status Report shows that the 30% by 2030 goal remains within reach, but action must accelerate: https://ow.ly/gGHz50YC6FL

Yeah, you might not know but cursive is really great for brain development. And a beautiful art form! Slowing down the production of writing or taking notes by hand leads to better retention of info and quality.

A few old men are raining death, chaos, and destruction on the world and somehow we can’t stop them? 8 billion of us versus a few old men and their sycophants. How are we not able to stop this?

If Star Trek has taught us anything, it’s that resistance is NOT futile. #resist

Ick, that beard

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her.

Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

Cesar Chavez, a Civil Rights Icon, Is Accused of Abusing Girls for Years

When you think you're a liberator of your people and you're also sexually abusing women and girls from among those people you're demonstrating that you have trouble recognizing them as people. (And that is way too common.)

As negatively disruptive generative AI has been to the surface of reality and people's ability to think... this will only get worse, and in more ways than we can imagine. Now is the time to ditch it.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

The thing where people post 2 second video clips that play over and over is psychotic and a sign of the end times.
