This is the way. We need to overhaul and remove every anti democratic institution, practice, and statute. Electoral college. The Senate filibuster. Gerrymandering. The bullshit voter suppression from making voting difficult or cumbersome. All of that has to go.

First things first though

Death cultists do be death culting. Ironic to see them celebrating eschatological events but not running a final moral checklist on their own lives; somehow it never occurs to them that the same source clearly states at least half will not make the cut and deemed unworthy despite their faith. πŸ€·πŸΏβ€β™‚οΈ

Tomorrow it's International Women's Day. And if you're a man, you may feel uncomfortable.

It will be tempting to deny that sexism exists, to deflect, to use a million strategies to combat the cognitive dissonance of knowing that sexism is alive and well, and you likely benefit from it. 16/?

So when your friend makes a sexist joke, when a coworker speaks over a female teammate or steals her ideas, when a guy is being creepy, when you witness any of the million acts of sexism you witness every day, when there are fucking dirty dishes in the sink...

Take action. 18/?

Inevitability: There is nothing I can do!

Individual exception: Sure, sexism is bad, but I treat women fairly!

Tokenization: I can't be sexist! I have a daughter, a wife, a mother!

DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender): Being a man is harder than being a woman these days! 10/?

I put my heavy coats down in the basement closet, in case you find yourself wondering who's responsible for the inevitable March blizzard.

Isn't it funny how those who preach "personal responsibility" never think they have the personal responsibility to improve the world and help others?

I can explain it right now tbh, they don't consider the rest of us human much less American. It's not national suicide, it is a family annihilation perpetuated by people who lied and grifted and stole they way into power and are using it to consolidate resources ahead of the climate catastrophe

IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot

THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him

THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me

YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care

BECAUSE my position is immutable

Earth had Saturn-like rings 466 million years ago, new study suggests The temporary structure likely consisted of debris from a broken-up asteroid.

A long time ago,
in a galaxy... well...
very very close to you.

Earth had a ring (probably).

For about 40 million years in the Ordovician (466 MYA), any trilobites that looked skyward would have seen the faint shimmer of the Earth's ring.

Let's look at the evidence for this conclusion.

...that was worth something (they were very poor) and 2) like they wouldn't already been used for necessities. Oh and 3) did they think I'd give it to them?? πŸ˜‚ Anyway, husband was angry, especially since afterwards no one (related) called to check on me.

Those times are when you really find out what they're like. When mine died, a sibling of hers (whom I was told had already gone through the house and taken a lot of stuff) called me, not to ask how I was doing, but if I knew what happened to my grandmother's jewelry. Like 1)

Long-delayed Jan. 6 plaque honoring police installed in Capitol at 4 a.m. The memorial honoring officers who defended the Capitol was required by law to be installed by March 2023.

As Republicans look to a grim midterm election (for them), Moses Mike Johnson finally decides to follow the law and install the Jan. 6 plaque that Congress ordered completed by mid-March 2023. Staff with the Architect of the Capitol bolted it in place around 4 am:
