Months ago he went on some rants about how some climate protesters needed to be dealt with harshly for defacing art etc.

Well, now thousands are dying around the world, preventable deaths if people would have paid attention.
Those people were willing to put themselves to the hazard, go to jail, not hurt anyone, to try and save lives.
So rethink your drink on that one

Now that I'm a parent, I'm suddenly realizing what huge feminist issue student loans are.

My loans are around 130k, which means I'm HEAVILY incentivized to stay out of the workforce to keep them in deferment. I don't even know that I'd bring home an income working, between childcare costs and loan payments.

In principle this should be a both-genders problem, but of course it ends up amplifying the pressure on women to stay home.

#It’sTheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt #Climate Who imagined we would actually arrive in this place? 40 years of warnings, hard core denial, today the artic melts, forests burn, oceans simmer, and we respond with yap yap, maneuvering for our individual advantages, killing each other, while seemingly oblivious, ignoring impending calamity, unable to change, basically helpless to to do anything but watch with fascination at the approaching apocalypse. Are we worthy? 😬

Getting to the Moon River Waterfalls is sometimes quite tricky depending on the water level. On this day we managed to boat to this spot on the river as beyond this point was too treacherous for the boat. The water levels were quite high and the falls were wild.

Normally, I'm a big believer in Hanlon's razor: don't attribute to malice that which can be explained with incompetence.

But in some cases, you have to acknowledge that the distinction is pointless because either way, a marginalized group is being brutalized. Either you fight the evil, or evil happens. There's no neutrality. Intent doesn't matter when it comes to the abuse of marginalized groups, only results matter.

President #Biden has nominated Gen. David Allvin to be the next chief of staff of the #AirForce.

Allvin’s confirmation, however, could be caught in Sen. Tommy #Tuberville’s blockade of military promotions over the #Pentagon’s #abortion travel policy.
