@pairko@mastodon.cloud Are you blaming Pete for the wreck?

And I'm extremely tired of the people who act like it's not their problem and what happens to trans people doesn't matter because they buy into the same belief there's something evil and wrong about us that deserves to be punished, they're just a little more quiet about it.
Especially the ones who want to present themselves as super progressive or leftist or "allies."
Pfft.

I doubt he gets Evangelicals either.

I don't know how many people are aware of this fact, but #Israel doesn't have a constitution, & it only really has 2 branches of government: the executive and judicial (the prime minister controls the legislative chamber).
Now the PM, #Netanyahu, is trying to dissolve the independent judiciary (including their supreme court) to make it subject to political hirings & firings with zero oversight from anyone other than the majority party, which must only garner 61 out of 120 legislative votes.
A research firm investigated Donald Trump’s assertion that the presidential election was fraudulent, but its findings were suppressed because they found nothing to support his claims, The Washington Post reported citing four sources familiar with the matter.

When a school board, a library or a state bans books, it’s not a show of strength. It’s a sign they’re ruled by fear. Fear of knowledge. Fear of opposing views. Fear of democracy.
@h2lift Just read it. Why is it broken up like poetry?
@manateacake @ewdocparris@writing.exchange That would keep me from ever writing in that genre. It would be easier to do alternate history fiction cause you can just make it up. 😂
@h2lift @ixtlidekami @ewdocparris@writing.exchange The best thing that ever happened to me was mandatory peer review in grad school. I got really good at sifting through and determining what the person really wanted to see in what I’d written and using it to my advantage.
@h2lift @ewdocparris@writing.exchange I’ll read it as soon as I finish “Fairy Tale.”
Australian scientists announced Friday they've discovered a protein in the lung that sticks to the COVID-19 virus like Velcro and forms a natural protective barrier in a person's body to block infection.

@ewdocparris@writing.exchange Funny thing, while time travel gets me excited, my son is the same way. If anyone ever wanted to kidnap him, just paint “time travel paradox” on the side of the white van, and he’s in there. LOL!
@circatee Probably because an elephant is what mastodons were.

I believe in a future where Black and Brown parents don’t have to have “the talk” with their children.
Passing the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act would get us one step closer.
