They know that many people in the US will accept the killing of civilians overseas but will draw the line at high gas prices.

A court has ruled the repeated delays on approval to launch for a new non-profit that will protect trans South Koreans from transphobia--caused by a conservative member on an oversight board--was illegal and the organization can go ahead as planned.
Once some of the senior class overheard our high school's headmaster (a priest) tell our school's chaplain/creative writing teacher (a different priest) to "go fuck yourself"
It was so exciting that I'm telling you about it now, over 20 years later
I have one of those one line a day five year journals and most of the time I like it, and other times I forget about it for weeks and then wind up scrolling through every group chat trying to figure out wtf I was doing on the 12th of last November.
Kelly doesn't even look like herself...she looks ill. Damn, I hope she gets help.
I took an Intro To Hoop class through my dance co today. The instructor was a delightful and patient circus performer and former Ren Faire mermaid. As we were all putting our shoes on after, one of the girls in the class reminded us to "maximize whimsy or the facists win"
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own governmentβs repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
sure the pedophile felon president just illegally bombed a country that may have nukes while federal forces under his command murder and harass people in america and immigrants are tortured and he moves forward with plans to build concentration camps and sorry idk where i was going fuck all of this
If you are feeling helpless in the face of All Of It (and it's a lot), I am telling you: find a way to plug in locally.
Figure out who is doing something-- anything-- meaningful, and see if you can help.
The first org you find may not be the one. But you will get there.
It will help your heart.
The night is young and $50k is a nice round number. I split my $100 donation over four organizations.

A beer on the opening day of LL108? Maybe I am getting better at this....
I'm gonna come out and say it:
American Icon Tara Lipinski is a FRAIDY CAT
The three journalists who helped ruin Ava Cordero's life when she tried to stop Epstein in 2006 *currently* work at NBC News, New York Magazine, and News Corp Australia. The one at NBC News is covering... Epstein.
Clergy and congregations out in the streets against ICE is the most Christly thing I have ever seen from the church I was raised in.
The Ash Wednesday procession through the Chicago suburb of Melrose Park from Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church - honoring immigrants, immigration detainees and those killed by ICE & Border Patrol - has begun.
Chicago Archbishop and Cardinal Blase Cupich is near the head of the march.
I would rather pay a bike courrier $25/hour to do this. Like Joseph Gordon Levitt in Premium Rush, a movie I have not seen.
The NUMBER ONE piece of advice I have given since I started volunteering as a financial advisor has been to open a HYSA at a different bank than the one where you have your checking, and set up auto-deposit. Don't see it, won't spend it.
I saw woman go from $16 in savings to $1k in four months.
I'm a financial advisor.
Humans are *very bad* at tracking, contextualizing, and understanding spending.
Like 80%+ of my clients who claim to live "paycheck to paycheck" have also immediately upgraded [car/house/electronics] significantly after minor pay increases.
Wait, is there an actual viable third party candidate for Senator in Massachusetts??? I'm not endorsing at this time, but I am intrigued.
@runforsomething.net you got any word on this guy or do you only do Democrats?

I've been listening to Sarah Wynn-Williams' "Careless People" and have got to the point where Zuck and Sandberg are equally shocked and thrilled at handing Trump the 2016 election, Sarah has realized she has to leave Facebook for the 4th time in 18 months, and I need a break from this book.
Welcome to Boston Josefine!
OMG the little plastic princess heels! These babies are precious, I hope they enjoyed their lemonade and dancing.
The Times has been quietly promoting transphobic viewpoints, treating the existence of trans people as a "question" or "debate," and spotlighting exclusively cisgender writers for years. It was bad enough for me to lose faith in the paper and cancel my subscription two years ago. Integrity lost.
I was so focused on avoiding SA triggers around the Epstein Files, I was fully off my guard when I found out Brand New is launching a reunion this year.
Really? Jesse releases a vague apology, the band keeps their heads down for a couple years, and we're expected to joyfully welcome them back? GFY
I am genuinely concerned about the dramatic increase legal gambling and what that's going to mean for increasingly desperate working class people over the next few years.
Kalshi and Draft Kings about to destroy some families
