Sometimes I put in an absurdly low bid on an eBay auction with the certainty that I definitely won't get it but also a vanishingly slim hope that MAYBE by some miracle nobody else will bid. Anyway that is how I ended up adding this magnificent glass plate negative to my collection! No date/info.
Sepia toned image of a middle aged white woman in dark garments looking at a very fluffy and grumpy looking tabby cat. The cat is standing at the top of a folding wooden ladder, presumably for the purpose of displaying it for this photo because the woman seems to be gently but firmly holding it in place there.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…
A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

The ‘women yell at cat’ meme (split screen with two people on the left yelling and a cat at a table setting on the right). Except I swapped out the heads for Eric and Don Jr, and put Tr*mp face on the cat.

Reconciliation without reparation is one of supremacy's greatest sabotages of the act of repair. Whenever abuse is exposed, it offers free exoneration to the abuser at the expense of the abused, and calls it redemption. It's the traditional and popular response to abuse in our supremacist society.

Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year.

They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again.

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.

There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

Mark Silk has been studying the use of "Judeo-Christian" in American life for over 40 years. Here is the Religion News Service columnist and scholar of American religion: ...an exclusivist Christian vision of the national future has led to an open rejection of “Judeo-Christian” by significant figures on the religious right. “This is not a ‘Judeo-Christian’ Movement,” declared self-described Christian nationalists Andrew Torba and Andrew Isker in their 2022 tract, “Christian Nationalism: A Biblical Guide to Taking Dominion and Discipling Nations.” In his 2023 book “Mere Christendom,” the prominent pastor Douglas Wilson, who likewise describes himself as a Christian nationalist, writes that there is “no such entity as the Judeo/Christian religion” and calls the Judeo-Christian

Maybe make a wonderful Dread Pirate Roberts?

This is the law. Passed down from our Founding Fathers, to ensure our military upholds its oath to the Constitution — not a king. Given Stephen Miller is directing much of a military policy, he should buff up on the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
