“Five Aspects of River and Sky” follows multiple generations struggling to find hope under a looming sky that demands constant sacrifice. It’s online (free!) at @BCSmagazine but if you can, listen to the audio version. The narrators did an incredible job! https://t.co/RIgNNnujmD

As this site appears headed into a libertarian death spiral, I have no interest in living in a parasite's fever dream. Billionaires should not exist in a world of such deprivation.

It was fun, at times.

Musk is the kid who played video games using the cheat codes for unlimited lives and weapons, then bragged about how good he was. He’s a case study in how pernicious wealth doesn’t make you smarter, more important, or better than anyone. It just makes you immune to consequences.

If you live in VA, please voice your opposition to the Republican governor’s proposed anti-trans student policy. The public comment period ends 10/26/22.

[Virginia Young Dems @VAYD]

🚨YOUR ACTION IS NEEDED!🚨

The public comment period for @GovernorVA’s anti-trans student legislation is now open. For the next 30 days, it’s on us to let Youngkin know that this policy is unjust and will only lead to children getting hurt.

Comment now: https://t.co/eU7ERbhDAa

@lerinjo Oh, I figured. I see how the ER is getting squeezed. It’s just incredible to me that we regularly sit outside our hospitals doing parking lot medicine for an hour with a pre-eclamptic patient or a possible stroke.

If you assassinate a political leader, it’s not a “political stunt,” it’s murder. If you fraudulently transport migrants after providing them paperwork with bogus addresses and promising them homes and jobs, it’s not a “stunt,” it’s human trafficking.
