I had to look this up. It's TRUE. 😮 Before 1974, banks typically required a father's or husband's signature in order for a woman to open a credit card account. HOLEEEE SHIT. In my lifetime?!! The patriarchy really sucks. #ArtemisII
Welcome home, gang. <3
watching NASA hit a very specific target in the big big ocean with a vehicle that just came back from outer space at 25,000mph definitely has me reflecting on the charter bus company that couldn't get me to a bus station
something that wrinkles my brain every time I remember it is the fact that total eclipses are only possible on earth because the moon and sun appear to be the same size in our sky, due to the insanely, astronomically unlikely fluke that the moon is 400x smaller than the sun but 400x closer to us.
Whew!
so happy for my emotional support astronauts

BREAKING : Artemis astronaut presents unknown object to NASA recovery teams, asks “can we keep her”
Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.
I did not spend years being told that as a poor teen mom I was responsible for the downfall of society to be told that having *fewer* poor teen moms is the downfall of society.
Teen moms can’t win!
Omg the weird portland hysteria and marketing around that movie is such a random period specific fever dream

the utterly deranged:
Listening in to the live Artemis II feed. I love the way they talk about everything (jargon, acronyms, plaing English) . Like a bit ago, an astronaut was talking emotionally about how beautiful the views were of the approaching moon, and Houston's CapCom person responded plainly “Copy. Moon joy.”
"What you feel in your heart towards the series is almost entirely irrelevant. What matters is what you do, because J. K. Rowling is out there doing a lot of things...Nothing is adequate to the situation except the truth. There is no way to watch the new Harry Potter show subversively"
This used to be part time. Basically a "special ed" classroom, free for "peers" (kids who didn't need additional services) to attend. Maybe it is full time funded now with P4A? (which would be great! Kids with disabilities shd have same amount of school!!) www.ddouglas.k12.or.us/departments/...

CBS headline reads: "Supreme Court to weigh Trump's bid to end birthright citizenship in test of second-term agenda."
This movement has never been about violent criminal aliens, undocumented immigrants writ large, or even immigration in general, but about the country’s changing ethnic and religious makeup. It has always been about white Christian nationalism.
really trying to make every day of my life Trans Day of Having a Snack

I think any local vet will do this, you don't have to trek over there
if any person who follows me is still subscribed to the Hated New York Times, let this be the death knell. they do not know the ama’s statements better than the ama’s own chair, and the only reason why they would stick to their guns this hard is their ideological commitment to transphobia
WOW. Amazon planning one of their largest data center projects in the world in NE Oregon. At full scale would use as much power as the entire Portland metro area. Pacific Power says it can somehow supply it with existing transmission lines?

The AP's story on the IOC's new policy mentions that it "also restricts" athletes like two-time Olympic gold medalist Caster Semenya. That word "also" is doing a lot of work. New piece on who this policy is actually about: www.readtpa.com/p/the-iocs-n...
