If you really were about any of that life, you’d address the funding disparity between women’s sports and men’s and you’d protect women from the various predators in the highest levels.

“Oh, this is about women in sport.”

Bet. Let trans women play. Give them the opportunity to pursue their passion in sport regardless of their supposed advantages (which are bullshit btw). While you’re at it, fucking fund women’s sport at the same level as men’s.

Normalize checking people‘s accounts before you reply to them. If they’re replying to you with incendiary shit and you see that they have no posts on their feed — block them. they WANT the engagement & your reaction. They want to sew Discord. They are, in fact, both a purposeful agitator and a plant

“The captain was sailing smoothly & quietly & when we were almost in Greece, we saw a light on the left & there was a crash. As soon as I saw the light, the collision happened. When I came to, I saw a lot of blood & the water had reached below my chest. It wasn’t a collision, it was deliberate.”

Two days after the deadly sea collision, ~1,000 people demonstrated in central Athens, chanting slogans such as “Athens – Minnesota we fight together, against the system that murders us,” “open borders for refugees,” and “we live together, we work together with the migrants, fight the nazis.”

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

A lot of the stupid and toxic things about the world in which we currently live can be traced back to the philosophy of WIN OR FAIL and it is refreshing to see a legendary world champion caliber athlete tell that entire worldview to go fuck itself

This is deeply concerning. These chemicals are additionally having impacts on aquatic insects due to dogs swimming in natural bodies of water.
I stopped putting chemical tick control on my dogs due to this.
Half our songbirds have vanished in 50 years. New research shows birds that use wool and fur to line nests were exposed to pet and livestock flea treatment. Eggs and chicks are being contaminated – with deadly implications. Should these medicines be regulated?

There has been constant vandalism at Silverio's memorial (which has a much smaller footprint than Renée's):
In Franklin Park, IL this afternoon—

Across the street from where ICE shot and killed Silverio Villegas González two weeks ago, a small gathering is ongoing. Folks are cleaning up the memorial site.

An organizer tells us people have been periodically damaging it and breaking candles.
