Check out my "cloud bob" from 10 yrs ago... 🤮🤬 HOW DOES THAT EVEN GET PUBLISHED???? How do you get far enough to publishing???? Who is at your table, in the editing room, in leadership, that NO ONE said thats an afro!! Though seeing it was in vogue was less disappointing.
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
I'm so tired of saying Trump is evil even if he has dementia. He was evil before you thought he had dementia. We are not gonna blame a disability. Nor let a disability be an excuse for bigotry! Being selfish and lacking empathy isn't a valid path for societal participation.
Friendly reminder folks! Being cognitively impaired, Disabled, ND, or lacking a formal education is not a basis for labelling someone as evil, wicked or a nazi. Some people are evil, wicked Nazis and that's nothing to do with them being Disabled, cognitively impaired, or lacking formal education!
Like anytime you don't follow established laws or orders there are consequences, usually loss of benefits or job or status. Participating in genocide to keep your job seems like a dumb move even if you got tricked into to joining to pay for college.
Following egregious orders doesnt absolve you! After WWII there was an entire precedent set! The Nuremberg trials. Naz!-regime soldiers tried to avoid justice by saying they were just following orders. Every individual has a choice to obey. No current service member was involuntarily drafted.
Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

BREAKING: President Trump has issued an unlawful executive order attempting to severely restrict mail-in voting.
The Constitution is clear: Only the states or Congress can change election laws.
A small two-layer cake with chocolate buttercream icing and white buttercream decorations with mini eggs and white sprinkles. Inside is a layer of lemon filling.
My daughter, her boyfriend’s mom, and I went to a workshop called “cake therapy for slightly unhinged women” and we decorated cakes. This is mine, which got a bit squished on the drive home.

Bernie Sanders has pulled one out for the books.
He has suggested a reading of the Epstein files as a filibuster to the Save Act.
Schrödinger's Game Changer prompt: We speculate that @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social is posting on his socials regularly for a new season of @gamechanger.dropout.tv bit. But the @samreich.bsky.social psy-op is that we think its a game changer bit, therefore making it one!!
As HHS head, RFK Jr. overhauled an advisory committee by adding people who promote discredited therapies for autism — including chelation, usually used to treat for toxic levels of metals.
In 2005, a 5-year-old died after a chelation session.
When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.”
For these Americans, that wasn’t true.

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.
“They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a man in California wrote.

There are like three leftists in the whole country who didn’t vote in the last presidential election. People who are passionate about politics vote. The people who didn’t vote are the apathetic, low-info sometimes-voters who will on occasion get swept up by the excitement of a movement.
