I don't really know what I'm feeling but I'll try to describe it. I am with my boyfriend in a small apartment and I realize that after me there will be nobody to retell my story. Nobody to carry my legacy or even a small scrap of my genes on. After I die whether it be noble, horrible, or ordinary, that's it. I and all of me end and I will rejoin the void I screamed into so many times.
Rules written 200 years ago by farmers were meant to be broken.
Education has evolved. Students' needs have evolved. Our children do not need rote repetition and mechanical emotions.
Four-day works weeks are a success. Our efficiencies should match our time off. Pure Capitalism is failing 99% of the country.
The Puritans may have been here first, but many more came after them with better ideas.
When we end Puritanical endlessness, we end the robotic dystopia and start to live.
Drag Storytime is not being forced onto children. It's a choice of parents to let their children attend Drag Storytime. Any decisions to restrict the practice infringe on parental choice.
Nothing.
Okay, I was just going to reblog this without commentary, but I can't keep this to myself. I'm a PhD student in environmental science and this is my fucking highway.
The first published study about climate change (that I am aware of-- feel free to point out if there's an older one) is an 1896 paper by Svante Arrhenius. He pointed out the link between the greenhouse effect and changes in atmospheric CO2.
Plate tectonics, which the geoscience community now recognizes as near indisputable, was a fringe theory until about the 1960s.
Just in case anyone thought that climate change was a "recent fad" in research.
Better for everyone but the ruling class.

Night Rain at Shinobazu Pond, Kasamatsu Shiro, 1938
In an editorial published last week, titled, “If Attitudes Don’t Shift, A Political Dating Mismatch Will Threaten Marriage,” the Washington Post’s editorial board points out that political polarization in this country has reached the point where it is now a prominent, often decisive factor in determining who Americans settle on as their potential mates. They emphasize this trend is now so acute it may actually threaten the institution of marriage as a whole. In particular, it seems that Democratic women are rejecting potential Republican suitors not only for marriage but as relationship material, all across the board. The message the editorial conveys — perhaps hyperbolically, perhaps not — is that as a consequence of this shift in attitudes marriage itself in this country is in jeopardy. Presumably the Post’s editorial board has a good reason for alerting us to this phenomenon. But what it doesn’t bother to do is tell us “why” it is occurring, and if what the editorial portends is true, Americans would be well served by knowing “why.” Had the Post bothered to provide some basic context, explaining that young American women, in particular, are loathe to date right-wing (presumably Republican) men because they find some specific views, attitudes and values they represent to be abhorrent — in fact, incompatible with someone they’d ever want to share their lives with -- the editorial might live up to the serious social ramifications it implicates.
🤪🤣😂🤣😝wouldn't know why women wouldn't want to date a guy who supports a close minded, sexist, abusive, egotistical, manipulative idiot.
Republicans will negate/burn/disrespect anything that gets in the way of their [stolen] power.
