Really enjoyable list - excellent recommendations!
I used to share book recommendations on the other place but got out of the habit this year as engagement massively dropped off. Thinking about putting together my top 10 list for this year though, so as a test, like this, and for each like I'll recommend something great I read in the past 5 years

Currently watching Bluey shorts with one of my besties.
We’re watching her ‘favourite’ - which just happens to be all of them.
Surprised that I’m enjoying. Particularly like bandit. (SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT ANNOYING PIG!)
Thus concludes my review of contemporary cartoons

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.
And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

There was nothing stopping Taylor from dropping booty shorts that said “The Ass of a Showgirl” and she just didn’t

No part of this is a lie.
people who are complaining about the few seconds of Travis in the trailer are no different than the people complaining about Taylor ruining football

Real life is demanding a lot from me this week so shall attempt a bit of a digital detox, to self soothe.
Hope ye all have a great week and weekend.
(I’ll likely be back in ten mins, if so remind me to self care and log off!)

Minority report for absolute turnips.
Nearly said muppets and obviously that’s obscenely unfair to muppets.

This is the M.O. of the genitally-obsessed bigots. Go into a functionally inclusive organization and start stirring up shit, threatening to sue, until you get your bigot way.

The definition they are using for woman is solely based on reproductive capacity. If you cannot be a breeding vessel for men, you are not considered a woman. That's it. That's the world they want. A fascist eugenics based world.

Women born with vaginas, raised as girls are suddenly not sufficiently womanly enough. They're branded as "men" and humiliated. They are stripped of everything they have worked to achieve and called cheats. It only serves to police womanhood based on the ability to be a breeding vessel.
