Screenshot of a Substack note by account 'JoJoFromJerz' that says: 'In a sane administration, the FBI Director doesn’t go on the morning news to prove he’s not a drunk, the Defense Secretary doesn’t quote Tarantino to prove he’s a man of God, and the President doesn’t take multiple cognitive exams to prove he’s not insane.'
None of this is normal.

this seems... fine?

I had a dream that the final I was supposed to give in an hour was not yet written and the typewriter ribbon was shredding as I typed. Instructor version of standard final exam nightmare.

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.
I'm watching a video about watering gardens and this guy is from New Jersey and he is "wortering" and I love it as someone who was raised by Maine gardeners who "wahta"

Yeah cause it’s the kind of thing you propose building to appease the ego of a narcissistic leader whose army just got its asked kicked by a Black military general (Touissant L’Overture) and Black enslaved people who ran your troops off their island.
It’s a monument to ego and defeat. Perfect.
“…agents at the airport drove Batra to ICE’s field office in Harlingen in an unmarked van. She had been there many times… Office staff recognized her as she was being processed. Agents posed for photos with her handcuffed, which they said was for ‘social media,’ according to the habeas filing.”
Still reeling over how the MAGA talking point is "the pope is wrong, there's a rich Christian just-war tradition," like buddy where do you think Thomas Aquinas and Hugo Grotius would stand on "a whole civilization will die tonight"
what do you even fucking do with this, man? the president is beefing with the pope while posting AI sop pictures of himself as jesus and the catholic vice-president is telling the pope he is doing theology wrong. i am not and have never been religious and this shit shocks and bothers me.

Now that’s what they call a deus ex machina.
Practically every academic department I have ever been in has had *at least* one professor widely known to be a huge creep, and whisper networks operating to keep young women like myself from finding ourselves in potentially dangerous positions with them.
as a 30 yo straight white cisman i can attest to the fact that huge portions of our culture essentially groom us to be rapists and enforcers of patriarchy
i have been in the proverbial male locker room and it really is that bad
a weird belief that is held across basically all sectors of American life is that boy dollars and boy votes are better than girl dollars and girl votes and so if you have a lot of the latter you need to be constantly trying to exchange them for the former
In a seamless blend of culture and climate, this afternoon’s Merrie Monarch Parade dazzled—graced by the ever-cooperative Hilo skies. #Hawaii #MerrieMonarch
Sunset! It’s been raining forever! #Hawaii
I filed, the DA decided to drop the charges. "It's he said/she said & he can afford a great lawyer." He (late 30s) did it to another 19-year-old 5 years after me & got lesser charges because she was off her bipolar meds/"unreliable."
20 years later, he's probably still raping, & I still have scars.
Imagine having to tell yourself that males are biologically incapable of basic human decency.
Meanwhile, the best care workers I've worked with and the worst alike have had representatives of all genders.
They cannot fathom us being individuals, all on the same cosmic team of life.
YUM!
If you recognize which unnamed woman is talking because you're asked for comment and the comment makes it clear which of the woman's rape stories match your memory of events, and you text that specific woman and say "stop telling people I raped you," that is.... sure an admission of something.
Screenshot of a Mother Jones article, with this section highlighted: Instead, they brandish a terrifying weapon—the threat of taking their children away. Only 16 percent of children enter foster care because they were physically or sexually abused. The other 84 percent? They’re mostly just poor. The relationship between poverty and foster care becomes painfully clear with state and federal budget cuts. In Kansas, for example, beginning in 2011, a number of cuts to monetary assistance coincided with a substantial increase in the number of children entering foster care. By 2016, nearly 11,000 Kansas children were spending time in foster care, while less than 3,000 parents were receiving temporary assistance. By 2016, foster kids exceeded the number of children being cared for at home with the support of TANF benefits in at least seven states, reported Shawn Fremstad, a senior fellow at the Center for Economic and Policy Research. In 21 states, for every two children receiving TANF while living with their families, one or more were living in foster care. Moreover, states can and do redirect federal TANF funds to pay for CPS activities, including foster care costs and adoption payments.
Tell me again how CPS only removes children in the most dire of situations; that there are no issues of structural racism or classism within the system.
