Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him?

That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

This is the truth. If only people with red hats were capable of understanding they’re filling their own swamp. Until they stop doing that, they’ll never drain it.

It turns out, when you mix the 2016 video of Pete Hegseth talking about troops not following unlawful orders with the recent Democratic PSA on the same subject, their message flows together pretty seamlessly.

Disgusting.
Usually, re-dedication ceremonies are held in broad daylight, with pomp and circumstance and a heads up to the press to cover said event with smiling politicos and speechless honorees….not marked with a “hey! look what we did when no one was looking!” tweet after business hours.

I think it's time we start declaring the Trump Administration and their Reeks traitors.

They're traitors to the Constitution.

Their desire to create a white Christian nationalist state is against the founding fathers and the law.

They're the "foreign threat" to America, not immigrants.

They think they look tough. They look like losers. Imagine wearing tactical gear and a facemask in the city famous for people walking the streets all but naked and drunk

“While most of the spending was on guns and armor, Legum reported that ICE had also purchased ‘guided missile warheads and explosive components.’ … It’s not immediately clear what part of a good-faith deportation operation would involve localized destruction and murder.”

I loved The Mary Sue #1 by @megfitz89.bsky.social & @lisasterle.bsky.social out now. It’s about a schoolgirl fan fiction writer whose creation comes to life. It’s *immersed* in fanfic culture. If you write or read fic, it will resonate, but it’s universal. www.boom-studios.com/archives/fir...

I've repeatedly been asked why I don't get a PhD.
1 No benefit for me as as non-academic.
2 Cost, both in $ & time
3 I've heard about so many more negative experiences than positive ones
4 If I want to spend countless hours researching something & writing a book, I can just do that
5 Committees 🤮
I just had serious, sincere thoughts about a Ph.D degree. Someone smack me.

(As much as I desire one, I do not think I can handle the emotional toll it would take)

I love the elegant simplicity of the design of this Victorian townhouse on Berkeley Street in Glasgow, especially the way the stonework around the door blends into the rest of the facade.
