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

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? womenofixd.com/whats-your-orig

@TonyStark WTH.

I'm not surprised When they're the ones who need it most.

I wouldn't characterize right wing Christians as the victims of a hoax at all.

#Evangelicals knew exactly what they were getting when they voted for #Trump, and they LOVED it. They wanted an abortion ban, he promised one, and he delivered. They still want to end democracy, and he's as much as promised that during his second term.

This was a situation where a Gentile was arrogantly yelling at a bunch of Jews, basically saying "Judaism is a religion! R-E-L-I-G-I-O-N! You can't be both a Jew and an atheist!"

In fact, most rabbis, probably including most Orthodox rabbis, would agree that a Jew who's an atheist still counts as a member of the Jewish people. But so many Christians think it's their place to dictate what it means to be Jewish. They desperately want being Jewish to work like being Christian, which it doesn't. It's its own thing. As I said, they need to listen more and yammer less about things they don't know about.

The issues you raise about conversions and Jews by choice are a separate conversation, I think.
