📚💙 AM I the only person who didn't enjoy #SunshineontheReaping ? It felt ... forced, maybe? And the 1st person POV didn't help since I never really felt invested in Haymitch.

#lawsky, my friend needs help. Her neighbor has a water leak of >5k gal/ day and refuses to fix it. She's contacted various city offices and utilities company #MLGW. Besides a lawyer, who else should she call?

I often talk about righteous fights. Make no mistake: we are in one.

This fight will be long. Trump will continue to distract, divide, and demoralize us.

But when things get tough, there is only one option ahead of us: Nevertheless, we must persist.

The indomitable Shirley Chisholm speaking truths to all women across America.

Listen up ladies as many still need to heed her wise words from so long ago.

American Christians sure like to quote Leviticus when they are condemning gay people but I don’t hear a single one of them quoting this verse that’s only a few lines before.

This passage from The Gates of Kagoshima feels a little clunky to me.
"... well used, judging by its chips and signs of use"
Agree or disagree?

The other day, a woman came into the bookstore where I work and asked if the books were sorted alphabetically by first name. 😶

They’re dismantling democracy while we watch. It’s time to stop watching and start fighting back.

I am disgusted that no one in a position of power is pushing back on all this foolishness.
The U.S. Air Force will no longer teach about the Tuskegee Airmen, the more than 15,000 Black pilots, mechanics and cooks in the segregated Army of World War II.

Course instruction about Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) − flying planes during WW2− was also pulled from basic training curriculum
Trump's DEI order strips Air Force curriculum of 1st Black pilots, female WWII pilots
Trump's executive order halting DEI means the Air Force no longer teaches recruits about WWII's Tuskegee Airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots.

True Christians should question Trump's attack of a Bishop Mariann Budde who asked him to have mercy on Americans who are afraid of his policies. Her sermon was not political. It was compassion.

So many terms that are unfamiliar to me
I teach a class called "Politics of the Internet," and one thing I end up talking about is internet adages. The list I cover:

Godwin's Law
Poe's Law
The Streisand Effect
Don't feed the trolls
The Rule of Goats

Any big ones I missed? Things along those lines I should add?
