Men often explain that it’s unfair to blame them for the ways they were socialized to pursue women: to dismiss our refusals, to persist, persuade, coerce, and wear us down. “I was told women love that,” is what they say, and it doesn’t seem to matter that it’s men who told them.
Your highly relevant daily reminder that Kyrsten Sinema has received over $750,000 from Big Pharma.

We don't need Musk to "extend the light of consciousness to the stars". We need him to pay his fair share in taxes so people living on *this planet* can survive and thrive.
