They say any idiot can run for president. The GOP MAGAts sure seem like the want to prove that.

Jeremy Parker died just after taking hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19, prescribed to him by the anti-vax group America's Frontline Doctors. Hacked record corroborate claims, that they never examined him for heart abnormalities, in his family's wrongful death/professional negligence lawsuit https://theintercept.com/2023/08/21/americas-frontline-doctors-hydroxychloroquine-wrongful-death/

I shared this privately before, but I just got the okay to share it in public. The Bluegrass Archive is online with a website and everything. This is a MASSIVE trove of legal live #bluegrass recordings from earliest days right up to now, which you can download and listen to for free. It is one of the greatest achievements of the fan-driven #music archiving community I've ever seen. I contributed a small number of filesets out of the thousands here. #music

Because of the free speech-violating expansion of DeSantis' "Don't Say Gay" law to 12th, I'm banned from calling myself Ms. DePaul in class, and I would rather surgically graft myself to an angry skunk than pretend to be a man just to please the fascists running Florida. Therefore, from now on, all current and former students have permission to call me by my legal first name, Monica.

Transphobic school laws
Ban me being Ms. DePaul
Call me Monica

COVID infection could speed up progression of dementia, new study finds.

Research showed patients with various types of dementia all experienced rapid decline in brain function after contracting COVID-19.

Their hatred of women (and girls) is boundless, but we already knew that. We saw all of these same things happen in every other country that banned abortion. They knew these things would happen, and pushed to ban abortion anyway.

I've seen both Mormons and JW forced to do this.

Young people dressed in inappropriate footwear & clothing for the weather conditions, shivering in extreme temperatures and forced to go door to door.

Elderly seniors with canes doing the same exhausted from walking in the heat.

I just feel sorry for them. They follow cruel faiths.

@RickiTarr "The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."

I'm looking to collect as many origin stories of women working in software design (UX, IXD, UI, User Research, UX writing) as possible for my website Women of IXD. This is a multi-year crusade to write women back into the history of technology (through the lens of design). This is a companion to the book. What's your story? What challenges have you faced? What successes do you want to share with the world? https://womenofixd.com/whats-your-origin-story

Gee, maybe privatized, religious schools aren't that safe for our kids after all.
