Watching tv from the mid-90s that features characters living with and dying from AIDS hits differently from a year or two ago.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Ypsilanti water system to consider 12-month moratorium on supplying data centers Ypsilanti Township calls for 12-month pause on water service to data centers, citing capacity concerns.

ICYMI the Ypsilanti Community Utilities Authority will consider a resolution approved by the Ypsilanti Township board calling for a 12 month moratorium on supplying water to data centers. This could impact U of M/Los Alamos' project and Augusta Township's proposed data center. @planetdetroit.org

Even more excited to have been woken in the wee hours by sirens

Super excited about the overlapping tornado and flood watch situation in my area

It’s lack of consent. And it’s directly connected to the fact everyone in tech, media, journalism etc doesn’t want to address the race and gender basis of how this was test driven .

“ we/They” don’t take them at their word

People with power decide that our protests don’t matter

"sex doesn't belong in YA books"

Listen, I learned more about birth control, menstruation, and how to get and give consent to different acts from Tamora Pierce books than I did from my school. There's a huge difference between smut and showing teens what healthy sexuality is.

The teaching part isn't just getting a student an answer, it's helping them think critically about what they are trying to figure out and how to ask the Qs that will get them to the correct answer or relevant resource. The journey is as important as the destination. You can't outsource that.

What sane person could live in this world and not be crazy?

The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up.

for the ten thousandth time, it's been proven the the best way to deal with this guy is look him in the eye and go "oh yeah make me buddy boy" and the lesson they take away in the USA will of course be that they continue to give him everything he demands in case he gets upset with them

A lamb shaped cake decorated with fluffy white frosting and colorful flowers. The head is leaning down, as though the lamb is sleepy or sad. The cake was underbaked and structurally unsound.

The same cake, but the head has fallen off and is now placed on a separate plate, served up like John the Baptist. We can now see that the cake is red velvet.

Twelve years ago, my mother made her traditional lamb cake for Easter. It was underbaked, and carnage ensued.

i will vote for dems who say this stuff and act on this stuff! i will give them money! i will tell my friends to do the same! it is what i want from government more than anything else right now!

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

You can't separate anti-immigrant and anti-trans politics from what is happening with Iran. When MAGA picked transphobia and nativism as its organizing principle, it selected for the capacity to treat entire categories of people as civilizational threats whose elimination is an act of self-defense.

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.

AVOID INTENTIONAL HARM

APOLOGIZE AND MAKE AMENDS WHEN YOU DO CAUSE HARM

FIND YOUR PEOPLE

CARE FOR THOSE PEOPLE

CARE FOR YOURSELF

MIND YOUR BUSINESS

LET EVERYONE FUCKING LIVE

"I don't want to happen but it probably will" is classic abuser language: "look what you made me do." Except it's not on the scale of a household, but of a nation of 90 million and millennia of civilization.....

Republicans have rolled over, but our Democratic leaders are completely failing us too. This is one of the most dangerous moments for the world in modern history. Stop this bloodthirsty madman. (3/3)

The idea of concentrating today on any work that won't in fact be completed today seems several degrees beyond ludicrous.

At the same time, elected leaders must also commit to prosecuting those who commit war crimes. Make clear now that anyone who carries out an illegal order will be held accountable during the next administration.

A hero whose heroism consists of killing people is uninteresting to me, and I detest the hormonal war orgies of our visual media, the mechanical slaughter of endless battalions of black-clad, yellow-toothed, red-eyed demons.

The good news is that I made banana pudding yesterday and I don't have to share.
