Serenity Now!

Plant/garden stan. If I’m here, I’m probably procrastinating/disassociating. Help yourself to my Lists, esp. my News It Or Lose It List feed.
Pinned
If my feed seems too empty, bland or cringe lately, sorry, but I’m actively trying to avoid posting negative stuff here. At least for a while, as I try not to add to the gloom & doom of [gestures all around us].

remember that as Harvard president Larry Summers expressed his belief that women were not as biologically adept at math and science as men meanwhile his lil brain couldn’t process “she’s just not that into you” so he solicited feedback from a notorious sex trafficker of girls.
Epstein clearly saw insecure nerds as marks in some way.

The way Larry Summers leans on Epstein for relationship counseling is... something

NYT cleverly distracting me from this outrageous news by using a pic of Trump with his chrome dome exposed — my mind can only focus on how pissed he’ll be to see this.
*nothing* about these strikes is legal. the uses of force constitute aggression and murder. there is no case that can be made for their lawfulness.

A collective sense of impunity is a helluva thing.
ok maybe the craziest thing about these epstein emails is how many of them are still emailing like this after october 2016 and the wikileaks dnc emails

Oh, he is SO psyched that Trump’s looking more & more like death’s around the corner every day.
JD Vance: "I serve under Donald Trump, who is very healthy. If I served under Joe Biden, I'd probably be worried every minute of every day that he was gonna croak and that I'd have to become president."

for the record, this is how the @nytimes.com covered Bloomberg, a man elected to the same office as Katie Wilson with the exact same amount of experience in public office as Katie Wilson, but whom the paper did not view with obvious contempt www.nytimes.com/2001/11/07/n...

Call me a radical, but I think everyone who’s incarcerated should get access to as much toilet paper as they need.
Apparently, Ghislaine Maxwell is living it up in prison with unlimited toilet paper. Here’s what we know about her alleged special privileges at her new federal prison camp in Texas.

All of the times I’ve wondered what Putin had on Trump, and now we find out Jeffrey Epstein was talking to Putin’s ambassador about Trump.
Jeffrey Epstein claimed he gave Russians insight into Trump
Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

This is the guy who’s the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, & chair of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, under Trump. And convinced Trump that 50-year mortgages are a great idea.

I was just thinking this
Between Trump 1.0 amd Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings all i could think about were my own past experiences. The trauma of learning how deep the abuse goes is... horrifying is not too strong a word.
As much as it’s important for the public to face the truth about the vile, monstrous people in seats of power…it’s also a kind of mass trauma & harm, that we’re all being subjected to every time we check in on the news.
along with the heinous literal crimes i think a lot about how there's a kind of moral, national crime in subjecting all of us to this, to this consuming our politics, committed against us by a number of powerful and connected people up to and including the president
