It’s Women’s History Month. Rather than post factoids I’m just gonna post a picture and a name and y’all can google why they’re important. Knowledge for you without a lot of free labor from me. Win win.
Today’s prompt is Celia Cruz
Photo of me standing by a pool wearing a houndstooth KN95
kn95s are great for pollen but unfortunately wearing one might make you look like you care about protecting disabled people and i know we simply cannot have that
So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.
Stew Peters, the pro-Hitler, white trash, antisemitic, homophobic, Holocaust denier that Graham Platner quoted last week to agree about being against action in Iran, posted the “The Falling Man” photo from 9/11 w/ the caption “Another American dying for Israel”. That’s the guy Graham chose to boost.
Bernard LaFayette, the advance man who did the risky groundwork for the voter registration campaign in Selma, Alabama, that culminated in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, has died.
"Screw Covid, I'm going to Sturgis!" The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, held in August 2020, was the epitome of the individual choice mindset. Of course it spread cases outward and caused infections, illness, and death. A new research paper allows us to watch the Sturgis Covid wave spread across the US.

I'm the only Democrat who has won a statewide race — not once, but twice — in the last 20 years.
Maine people know me. They know that unlike Susan Collins, I've got the backbone to stand up to the President, and that I'll always put them first.
Kristi, good luck at your new job. Because when we retake the majority, we're holding you accountable for the last one you had.
I mean hear me out White people, close your eyes and imagine a world that tells you, no matter how qualified, experienced or leader focused you are. People won't vote for you because you are white...
This is what you tell Black people all the time as an excuse for why "people won't vote for them."
Like I said this morning...they'll talk about how it's the "messaging" yet the majority of marginalized people get the message just fine. But white people don't. Why is that?
It's because it's not about the message but about them being able to control it and have it benefit them. Period
Washington defends gender-affirming care against unconstitutional attacks.
Gender-affirming care remains legal and protected in the state of Washington.
Last year, our team secured a preliminary injunction blocking two executive orders that threaten to end federal funding to medical institutions providing gender-affirming care.
UPDATE: Strongly worded letters just got kristy noem fired.
Shows a doctor on the edge of a forest trying to put out a small COVID fire. There is a large fire in the forest behind the doctor labeled "long Covid". A frightened deer runs out of the forest to escape the fire. The deer is labeled ME/CFS. The cartoon shows that while Covid is somewhat less prevalent (though still a dangerous threat), the huge problems of Long Covid and ME/CFS still loom.
March is Long COVID Awareness Month. Please offer support to your stricken friends. @thesicktimes.org @guitarmoog.bsky.social @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.social @chromatowski.bsky.social @emilyrj.bsky.social @thecovidinfoguy.bsky.social @davetuller1.bsky.social @mileswgriffis.bsky.social
oh look, there’s the self-deluded part
once again, greg, fuck off. we’re done here. go pretend you aren’t a misogynistic bigot while you harass marginalized people somewhere else far, far away
MAGA: We can’t let a Black woman win.
White Leftists: We can’t let a Black woman win.
They’re the same racist ass people.
She said she walked off the plantation in 1962 and my mama was born in 1957… that is not lost on me
feeling strong emotion makes me physically ill for weeks. also, i’m allergic to sunshine. i immediately start getting stuffy, runny eyes, can’t breathe, etc. full allergy attack from—checks notes—sunshine
thanks, PEM from #ME/CFS and #lupus!
that’s you, greg. you’re the misogynistic dick who co-opted progressivism into another form of bigotry. you’re no different than anyone else who shits on marginalized people and venerates white men. you loathe democrats because we center marginalized people. you’re a bigot and a self-deluded asshole
fun story, greg: i was a socialist for decades. went to caucus in seattle in 2016 as a socialist. was the only HRC delegate. an overflow mob of fellow socialists screamed, “C*NT!!!!!!” at me. that’s the exact moment i realized bernie turned progressives from actual progressives to misogynistic dicks
seriously, greg, what on gods green earth prompted you to think, “i know, let’s make some white assholes the REAL victims here. it’s definitely not those pesky women and even more those black women. nope, it’s another flavor of white dude. who’ll think of the poor benighted white dudes.”
fuck you
fuck off, greg
if i hear the word “electable” as a pejorative against black women candidates one more fucking time, i’m going to reach through my phone and fucking throttle someone
NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities
McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.
