As a lifelong science fiction enthusiast I hope some day human beings will live among the stars. But even if that happens those people will be only the tiniest fraction of one percent of the human population.
Earth is our lifeboat. Take care of it!

Happy Earth Day!
Fifty-six years after 20 million Americans showed up for the First Earth Day it's worth remembering that there is no Planet B!

So you're surprised to find that the KKK wing of MAGA is virulently anti-Catholic? What rock have you been living under all your life?
Let's be clear about something:
The people of Iran do not deserve to be subjected to nuclear weapons (or whatever heinousness is coming their way) just so fucking New York Times will continue to ignore the Epstein Files.
Meanwhile, it's Trans Day of Visibility. A good time to remember that Trans Rights are Human Rights and that Trans people -- not just their rights, but their very identity and existence -- are under attack in this country.

And if you think conversion therapy is a free speech issue like letting Nazis march in Skokie you need to get the fuck off my page before I block your fucking homophobic ass.
Going forward the suicide of any LGBTQ+ youth is on the heads of the motherfucking miserable members of the Supreme Court who decided today that torture is free speech.
Now more than ever please support:

Oh, great! Even Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan are OK with the idea of torturing gay kids to make them straight. Because that's what conversion therapy is, full stop. It has ZERO medical or psychological legitimacy and it has wreaked death and destruction on generations of LGBTQ+ people.
It's currently 10:08 a.m. Saturday in Chicago. When we left Tokyo ~ 13 hours ago it was 10:50 a.m. Saturday. I never thought I would say it but that's too much Saturday!

Bananas.
Except if they were on the street EACH of them would be yelling conflicting instructions so you would have no way of obeying them.
Yup!
"The bigger the gun (or truck), the smaller the..."
Much as I would enjoy a date with Chris Hemsworth it probably wouldn't be enough. (Also: his wife might object. Or my husband, for that matter!)

Oh, DST,
Oh, DST,
I don't love you,
You're killing me!

I know, I know, everyone complains. My recollection is that I managed the transition much more easily when the interval between the fall and spring changes was longer.
But maybe it's an age thing?
On International Women's Day I give thanks for all the outstanding women in my life: my daughter, my daughter-in-law, my granddaughters, my children's mom, the Hubby's mom and his sister, the late husband's mom and HIS sisters, and so many more! I am a much better human being thanks to them!
My guess is Minnesota was happy to see his backside!
I don't know football and know nothing about Lou Holtz but I always loved this quip:
"I did not want to go to Minnesota intitally. All the people I had ever met from Minnesota had blond hair and blue ears. You have to be wary of anyplace where the state bird is the mosquito."
BOOM!
And, yes, that includes those of us (the majority!) who opposed Trump at every step of the way. Like it or not, this crap is being done in our names.
For my fellow Americans:
It's worth remembering that we will have to spend the rest of our lives (and our children's and THEIR children's) making amends to the rest of the world once we are finally rid of this abomination of a regime.

Yup!
Alternatively, I would be happy to welcome our Alien Space Lizard Overlords (especially if I could snag a date with 80s era Marc Singer!)
A boy can dream can't he? Can't he?!?!
I pray daily that the religious nutjobs running this country will be whisked away to Heaven or Xanadu or whatever Rapturous fantasy destination suits their fancy. That way the rest of us can get on with the work of building a just society.

Hang on a minnit!
Pedro Pascal has a boyfriend and I am not he?!?!
WAAAAUGH!!
Definitely living in the wrong timeline!!!!!
(And the fact that I already have a husband is totally irrelevant! I know how to share!)
😍😍😍
I don't know who needs to see this one today. It's something I have understood for more than 25 years now.
Washington Post:
"Democracy dies in darkness."
Jeff Bezos:
"I am the darkness."
RIP, Washington Post.
You need to watch this one +it's about two minutes.) And if you still talk to family and friends who support Trump you need to share it with them.
