When I was in kindergarten I remember the moment I learnt how to read because I was so confused as to why I knew what my teacher was going to say before she said it and I thought I could tell the future for like 2 days before I realized she was just reading what she was saying off the board I could see and I wasnt conscious of my ability to read yet

@lynndeborah

Death toll in #Gaza due to #Hamas-initiated attacks on #Israel is similar to that from #Russian aggression in #Ukraine, but where is the outrage about that?

Nobody cares. No protests. No rage. No ceasefire demand for #Russia to stop and pull back

The inmate accused of stabbing former police officer Derek Chauvin 22 times in prison has been charged with attempted murder, prosecutors say
___

He should get 6 months of paid administrative leave until the investigation led by other inmates determines he feared for his life and the stabbing was justified. Back the orange.

Part1- I do not mean to disrespect your faith, but “faith” is faith for a reason… it’s not fact. And nothing in the Bible is factual, but “Testiments“ from ancient superstitious human beings trying to figure out their place in this reality. And after a lifetime of analyzing my existence, the last thing I would do is vest myself in ancient folklore as a basis to understand my existence. (Cont)

WOW 😯 #books #read

As always, a casual reminder to please mask. By allowing the virus to spread unimpeded, you are giving it a chance to bloom and evolve to even further debilitate and kill massive swabs of humanity. Please, have empathy, even if it isnt you or someone you know, there are people who are being effected by your choice who have their own lives and families. Children, elderly people, disabled people, even perfectly abled people with functional immune systems can be hospitalized or permanently changed for the worse by being infected.


Please, just have compassion

Me: Of course! I know a TON of morons.

Them: Mormons.

Me: Oh, no. Don’t know any of them.

Couldn't have said it better...

"Never before had a president used his constitutional clemency powers to free or forgive so many people who could be useful to his future political efforts...

review of Trump’s 238 clemency orders found that dozens of recipients... have gone on to plug his 2024 candidacy through social media & national interviews, contribute money... or disseminate his false claims of voter fraud"

@lednabwm Inconsistency of a non-existent deity is evidence of its fictional creation by. Man.

I’m an ex-mormon. My parents are still fully devoted mormons. One year, I sent my kids to spend a couple of weeks with my parents during the summer. My mom was involved in organizing the church youth camp that summer. She asked me permission to take my kids just for the day that they were going to go white water rafting. I said sure, sounds like fun, one day is ok. 1/

A nice trans activism thing I like to do is, whenever I see an article about a school or a library or something being trans-inclusive or supportive of trans people/issues in my country, I send them a thank you card/note in the post.

They're probably getting hate mail about it from bigots, you know? Maybe a librarian/admin person getting something like that could make a big difference, now and also further down the line.

Here's the thing about this opinion: Defendants usually lose motions to dismiss because hurdles are so high, but this decision was particularly biting.

I think it's safe to say at this point that Trump knows (or is reasonably sure) he will be convicted of these charges in D.C.

The tone of this decision is completely professional but the message is clear: Nope. Sorry. You get no special consideration as a former president, thereby torpedoing what he thinks is his strongest defense.
