I will spend every one of the next 100 days working my ass off to find a Democrat to run against every legislator who voted for the LEARNS scam.

If you can join the work, if you are ready to run, if you know someone in a rural district that deserves better, let’s join forces.

The National Society of Black Engineers has decided to move their annual convention out of Florida amid harmful legislation. https://t.co/em5LZOhTxa

As the unfolding ecocide becomes more evident it just seems as though many of us are doubling down on our destructive lifestyles.
It's the result of not having a cohesive culture in place that encourages rationing/sharing/minimalism, nor promotes sacrificing for the greater good.

Implying that people who wear masks do so because they are anxious about catching Covid is like saying people who look both ways before crossing the street are anxious about getting hit. For those who know the dangers of Covid it is as natural and automatic as putting on a coat.

So the Supreme Court decided that forgiving the student loans of struggling Americans is unconstitutional but forgiving the PPP loans of millionaires like Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Green is not.

Yes, and usually the "givers" are the women, who experience no reward when they give and backlash when they don't.

[Zito @_Zeets]

What’s become apparent in the last few years to me, is that a lot of people find the idea that they should have a responsibility and obligation to other people around them, highly oppressive. It’s a level of egocentrism that even children would be admonished for.

@gathertonourish my sister in law wrote an informative thread about her trouble receiving a diagnosis for ovarian cancer before she died, in the hope that it would helps others. 🙏

So basically, we wouldn’t want to make more work for fathers and that makes the risk of birth defects worth it. Women’s health at its best.

[Amy Diehl, Ph.D. @amydiehl]

CMV is the leading infectious cause of birth defects but doctors are not telling pregnant patients about it. The main prevention strategy is to avoid contact with bodily fluids of infected toddlers. It is infantilizing to not give pregnant women this info.

[bonky @shesbonky]

So, to each of you (and as a reminder to myself) I say this:

• ALL BODIES ARE BEAUTIFUL BODIES

• YOUR BODY IS AN INSTRUMENT, NOT AN ORNAMENT

• BEFORE YOU COMMENT ON SOMEONE'S OUTSIDE, CONSIDER YOUR INSIDE

• COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY

Let's be kind to each other.
