I have an ex-in law who lived in Iran in the 70s. She wore short skirts to school and a two piece swimsuit to the pool. She fled before the revolution.
Religious extremism boosted into government can lead to the imposition of terror on women and girls and allies. It can happen anywhere.

I hate doing that but with the current state of crisis (loved one in hospital + other stuff I won't go into), I'd love to have some income.

Let's make "Ma'am this is a map store" into the positive counterpart to "Sir this is a Wendy's"
A mom just came in SO EXCITED to find a map store bc her son would LOVE it.
She tries to be coy. "My son is... Really into maps. Real special kid."
I'm like, ma'am, this is a map store. Half my customers are on the spectrum. I have a trains and transit section. You're among friends.

That's circumstantial AF. I'd wager most Americans have at least one such notebook.
A new federal charging document reveals that the suspect in CEO Brian Thompson's shooting death was found in possession of a notebook containing hostile writings about the health insurance industry.

I first perform a complete assessment of the elephant. For example, is it a 3-inch tall ceramic figurine suitable for display on my bookshelf?
Then I demand the reliability and validity data for all of the interview questions.

He's saying that now because it got leaked that he doesn't plan to stop UHC from continuing its denial-fest in the name of profits. CEOs aren't stupid, they know how to make quasi-reasonable mouth sounds in public. What matters is their policies and their lobbying.
"There may be things wrong with our health care system..." Holy shit, even the CEO of the UHC parent company admitted the system is whack.

HEY AUTHORS OF BLUESKY: In the comments to this post, tell us (briefly!) about your most recent book, and put in a link to where people can learn more and/or buy the book in question.
Go!

Regimes seem solid until they are not. Every resistance act matters because often regimes are crumbling from within from corruption and yet good at hiding that fact. cc: Russia

they say bluesky’s an echo chamber but i’m only half joking when i point out that there’s been some really vigorous debate on here today as to whether it is good or bad that the CEO of a major health insurance conglomerate was murdered in cold blood in the street

An older lady complimented my "abortion access for all, no question, no apology" shirt. I blushed and said, "I saw this shirt and realized... I apologize for a lot of things."
She leveled her gaze at me and smiled small but steady. "Not this one, honey. NEVER this one."

Susan Wolber will be greatly missed. We've belonged to the same small local book club for something like ten years, and I am proud to call her my friend. My heart goes out to her family, friends, and everyone whose life she has touched. RIP, Sue.

Can we just agree that if people are using public bathrooms with locking stall doors it matters more that they follow bathroom etiquette than what anyone looks like? ADA allows opposite gender caregivers to assist in restrooms. All parents need access to diaper changing tables.
