I read a lot. I write but only as much and when the block moves.

Currently pretty sad and plenty mad.

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray.

The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter.

These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby.

We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves.

Just need to be clear that the US Air Force almost caused a major commercial flight catastrophe because they are flying over Venezuela with transponders off
NOT GOOD 🫠

‘the air traffic controller noted not seeing the military aircraft on their end, as it had the transponder off and was not transmitting its location.

“We almost had a midair collision up here,” the pilot said, according to ATC recordings. "They passed directly in our flight path ..."’

I kept forgetting to do this so I actually changed the word Black in my autocorrect dictionary to automatically capitalize the work Black and yeah it sometimes means I have to go and uncapitalize it but it’s so worth the occasional extra work and it guarantees I’ll never forget to do it.
Now that this administration has directly taken aim at it, I am no longer tolerating white people who want to talk about politics with me who do not capitalize the B in Black. It's a tell. And it's automatically disqualifying of anyone who wants my time or attention.

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.
men’s loneliness gets “more airtime”?

baby I have lived the past three decades of my life witnessing corporate media elevate men’s loneliness into a full-blown balls-to-the-wall CRISIS once every 4-5 years

“more airtime” is hilarious

It's great that the media, Congress is going all Watergate on one of Trump's many crimes, the 'double-tap' murder of 2 Caribbean sailors

But the reality is that Trump's death cult has killed hundreds of thousands, mostly through senseless USAID cuts

One of the books in my office is 290 years old. It’s still in excellent condition and easy to read. I wonder how easy it’ll be to read electronic texts 290 years from now. I expect it’ll be rather trickier.
