@Huntn00 @samlitzinger It's interesting that the banned book crowd is so concerned about (white) children until the gunman strolls onto campus. But it's quite fine for someone like Viola Ford Fletcher to experience a massacre as a 7-year-old child.
@NurseStacey Most discouraging about defining what American means are the number of people, millions who threw in with the clown in 2016 and apparently millions still wallowing with him and his corrupt, bankrupt values, just because they might gain an advantage while tearing down the FedGovt, undermining democracy and the Nation as a functional entity domestically and on the World stage. This is some serious shit going on, the most serious since 1861 and building for 40 years. 😓
@NurseStacey If “American” is subscribing to principles laid out by Founding Fathers, Freedom of Religion includes freedom from religion, and “Anti-American” is the Cristian theocracy the Right is trying to establish in the USA while undermining the Constitution and trying to fool their base, redefining the definition of patriotism. This is not an anti-Christian sentiment as long as Christians can live and let live. More power to figuring out this existence. 🫣🤔☺️

@Huntn00 absolutely, what we have seen lately are a religious minority working especially through the Supreme Court and local legislatures who feel their religious freedom extends to forcing everyone to be “good little Christians” wether we like it or not. As a woman raising daughters, I feel this violation of personal rights keenly.
@NurseStacey Not a challenge to your post, but in its spirit, it seems like we collectively need to have group discussion about how “my rights” don’t extend to stepping on others, deprive others of a basic level of equality so I can maintain my privilege, shove my beliefs down your throat, nor jimmy democracy in my favor.. 🤔

Happy Fourth to everyone who wants America to become more rational, compassionate and once again a place where personal rights and liberties are respected above all else.

Due to a technical problem I had to give my talk on Asimov's foundation series and ethics at the Current Research in Speculative Fiction conference sans slides.
So, I'm showing the title slide and the last slide here instead.

@shonin@mastodon.world I’d like to see Mastodon include a variety of “likes” besides the star including a disagree icon as seen in some forums. I tend to view boosts as “agreement” and “star” as like. But this is admittedly tricky at times, as to what you are agreeing with, the author vs his/her target. 🙂 I’d like a quick way to signal disagreement without spreading disinformation when it occurs, which so far I admit to seeing little if any, but I don’t actually know who my instance has blocked. 🤔

#CorpseFlower In the Encinitas botanical garden this plant blooms about every three years and smells like rotting flesh. Short lived bloom is happening now.

Trump is threatening Jack Smith and calling him a sleaz .
It's the equivalent of cusing out a chef before he cooks your meal..

Holy crap. Take a look at all the personal data that “may" be collected by Threads, Meta’s upcoming new Twitter clone.
Very on-brand, and a privacy nightmare.
