No matter your politics, we must agree that someone working full-time should be able to pay for housing and food with their paycheck.

White Christians are suddenly freaked out about child abduction like they didn't build entire countries on the abduction, enslavement, and relocation of children.

Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

Republicans nationwide are now pushing to repeal no-fault divorce laws, which allow women to walk away from an unhappy marriage without having to prove abuse, infidelity, or other misconduct in court. The Texas GOP just added it to their platform. https://t.co/dUZjgV1auN

Romantic relationships can become a parent-child relationship if we aren’t aware.

This creates resentment.

We aren’t meant to parent a partner.

We aren’t meant to watch over them to make sure they complete tasks.

We aren’t meant to have to check in with a partner for permission on a daily basis.

Intimacy comes from two equals, evolving together as adults.
