I introduced #Asherah to the church women's group, and the women grasped her story immediately. "Why did they silence her?" quickly became "Why is this happening to us again, now?" #feminism #feministspirituality #pagansky #archaeology #misogyny #patriarchy #gender

Thanks to my friend Harriet for pointing out that the women went to Christ's tomb and saw he was not there, the angels showed up to describe what happened, & the women then told the apostles, who dismissed them. A Biblical account of women not being believed.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

The ideas of Curtis Yarvin, have seeped from the fever swamps of the internet into the halls of power. You may not know his name, but you’re living in his world. And if you don’t understand how his brand of weaponized cynicism operates, you won’t be able to fight back.

Yesterday I revisited Mel Gibson's drunken phone calls from when he became a convicted abuser and they sounded a lot like this. "I am focusing on terrorizing you while you should be focused on thanking me."

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.
