Let me get this straight: teachers can only write off $300 in out-of-pocket expenses for school supplies, but “three-martini” business lunches are fully tax deductible for corporations. Hello?

Some evenings I find myself reflecting on the weird, winding path that I took through transition.
And how grateful I am for being trans.
And how grateful I am that the love of my life loves it just as much as I do.
Of all the futures I thought were possible when I started my transition, I never imagined that the one I'm in was even on the table. I didn't even think it was on the table a year and a half ago.
So I guess I'm saying: those of you who're going through hell right now?
Keep going.

https://www.europesays.com/816073/ Zelenskyy: ‘If Ukraine falls, Putin will surely go further. What will the United States of America do when Putin reaches the Baltic states? When he reaches the Polish border? We have a lot of gratitude. What else must Ukraine do for everyone to measure our huge gratitude? We are dying in this war.’ #Ukraine

For the 2024 election Democrats need to beat the Republicans over the head with abortion. Not only the overturn of Roe v Wade, but the states passing laws all but banning abortion and making moves to restrict travel to blue states. Cap it by pointing out the emerging Republican intention of banning birth control in this country.
They'll deny and deflect and that is to be expected.
Talk about it! Talk about it! Talk about it!

@TerryHancock @futurebird @aprilfollies @zzzeek When I voted in the 14 primary in rural Texas, the white guys directed me to the GOP table because I'm a white guy. I then realized where I was and sauntered over to the table staffed by little old black ladies.
I got death stares the entire time from the white guys. The black ladies whispered to me that I should take some extra turns on the way home to make sure they wouldn't send their boys after me.
The black ladies knew what was up.

Libya flooding: Landmines pose new threat, death toll rises to 11,300 with 10,000 still missing!
Many people in Libya have been left without fresh drinking water since the floods contaminated sources, but there's a new danger if they travel to get water: landmines displaced by strong currents

A former friend, who works in schools, tried downplaying covid & didn't think mask mandates should be put back into schools is now sick from covid & so is her whole household.
It's now the 3rd time they've been infected & this time - she's being hospitalized & put on a respirator. I hope this will be a huge wakeup call for her & her family because they acted like covid was over. They were irresponsible & reckless with not masking up & travelling out of country with a child.

@gekidasa First time I discovered the difference between a book and a movie was many years ago in elementary school with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. @Callalily
@gekidasa I’ve skipped the new one. @Callalily
@gekidasa One of my early mistakes was watching the original movie with Tom Cruise. He just made it all into a comedy. @Callalily
@gekidasa This is why I almost never watch a movie based on a book I loved. I’ve made an exception with Foundation only because it’s been 40 years since I read it. @Callalily

I popped into my local Apple Store today. Turns out Apple no longer sells leather anything in their stores. No more leather cases for iPhone 14 and earlier, no more leather watch straps.
They still sell the remaining stock of MagSafe Battery Packs and Duo Folding Chargers, but they yanked the leather stuff from the shelves.
