Seems to me airline pilots and crews have reasonable grounds to strike with lives at risk. It would hurt like heck but they’ve got more leverage than anyone else at the moment. The French would be burning shit in the streets a week ago.

Lovely contemplative evening with a wonderful group of women to mark Imbolc/ Candlemas/ St Brigid. Walked a labyrinth and made a reed cross. Just what my soul needed.

Mississippi Democrat launches "Contraception Begins at Erection Act" State Senator Bradford Blackmon's bill would make it "unlawful" for someone to ejaculate without "the intent to fertilize an embryo."

Conception begins at erection. Yes, let’s control men’s bodies too.

A digital graphic with the quote "IT'S GO TIME" at the top center in large bold white text with blue quotation marks on either side. Below in smaller white text is the quote attribution: “UU Rev. Laura Randall, a Pink Haven co-coordinator." On the left side of the image, white text reads: "Support the thriving of trans, two-spirit, and gender-expansive people. Contribute to the Pink Haven Coalition." Beneath this text is a magenta button-shaped banner with white text that says "Learn More & Donate." Below it, another magenta text box contains the URL "http://bit.ly/pink-haven " in white letters. On the right side of the graphic, there is a photograph of a hand holding a flag in the colors of the transgender pride flag (light blue, pink, and white). Written on the flag in black marker is the phrase "TRANS PEOPLE TO THE FRONT." At the bottom right corner, there is a Unitarian Universalist Association flaming chalice logo in rainbow colors.

Recovering from my carpal tunnel snip is getting me down. Dang it.

Logged out of META for the “lights out” week. I haven’t made the final decision about leaving for good. There is some merit to the perspective that by leaving we are giving them free rein and not keeping an eye on them.

Biden says the Equal Rights Amendment is law. What happens next is unclear To come into effect, the constitutional amendment would need to be formally published or certified by the National Archivist who has declined to do so in the past. What happens now is unclear.

It’s such BS that this is still up in the air! More proof of the misogynistic machine that runs this country. Gaslit for decades!!!!
