This is a highly efficient way to get women to simply stop engaging with male strangers entirely!
Social media is awash with videos of men filming themselves approaching women in public spaces and attempting to flirt. In many cases, the videos are filmed and uploaded without the women’s consent. https://cnn.it/4qtIsvB

Stuck in the Krakoan Age
I've been working my way through the Krakoan Age of the X-Men comics. I got through all of Dawn of X and Reign of X. I went to start Destiny of X and found no books on my Kindle. I was at work, so I just switched to Ultimate X-Men since I really should read that series…

Yay! Demisexual visibility! 🖤🤍💜
Yes, demons are sexy, but demisexuality is actually the name for feeling sexual desire only ✨after✨ developing an emotional connection with someone, as @scribbletoons.bsky.social explains in this comic from our archive. 1/2

There are thousands of Americans still in prison for weed in states where it’s legal but billionaires can rape and murder children and everyone knows it but they never see prison.
The USA is not a country of laws. It’s a pedophilic oligarchy.

At the onset of Black History Month, I feel the weight of what my ancestors possibly felt when federal “law enforcement” criminalized and kidnapped them for running away from slavery, when Confederates and segregationists smeared my ancestors’ antiracist movements as anti-White.

I just had one of those "accidental productivity" moments us #ADHD-ers have. I heard my hubby was up, so I put away the two baskets of clothes I had folded. Then I put the baskets back by the laundry (something new for me). 1/3

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Even in our polarized country, more and more people from left, right, and center are coalescing to demand change.
It's happening because a freedom-loving nation does not allow masked, militarized government agents to violate our civil liberties.

My D&D characters tend to have the flaw "I overlook obvious solutions in favor of complicated ones" because I do that all the time.
Instead of starting over, I just got next week set for my class by drawing on what I did last semester.
