Arizona's right wing has always disdained public education, and some lawmakers are using tendentious charges of "free speech" violations as a pretext to gut university funding.

Mimsabel knows you're having a tough time right now, but she believes in you and your ability to handle it.

At least, I think that's what she thinks. She's a cat, so who knows?

Pinched from somewhere else, but this was just too good not to share.

And i would be a leader. I'm a natural born leader.

Maybe it's a consequence of caring about others much more than i care about myself.

But in every group I've ever been in, sports, work, friends... I've always been put into a leadership position.

It's one of the few things I'm proud of. I'm good at taking care of others. Just not myself.

People try to make our conflict a black and white conflict miss the 200 shades of colours on this land. We are of all ethnicities and faiths and we want to live in peace. Stop simplifying it just because your own history is simple and black and white oppressor and oppressed. It's not simple and you haven't been on this land, you will never understand, surely not better than Israelis and Palestinians.

My girlfriend wants to know why "std out" is in my browser's search history & whether she should see a doctor

I bought a 4TB external SSD drive. Here it is with my cat for scale. The fact that its location in this picture is not obvious is why I immediately put it on its own lanyard.

But as J. Legum reports, Burkhardt did not tell the school board that she's an employee of Brave Books, a partner of Sky Book Fairs, which promoted her appearance before the school board. And that she was home-schooled, so a school library cannot have given her access to the book she claims turned her into a porn addict.

Brave's' agenda is to substitute real books with ones produced by Brave, which are pure right-wing propaganda.

THE KILLING ROOM cracked the 100-reader reviews/ratings mark on Amazon. (And a 4.6 average — wow!)

A big thanks to everyone who bought the book — and an even bigger thanks to those who left reviews or rated it (you have no idea how helpful those are).

Book 2 coming next August!

Hmmm?

This cat is ridiculously cozy right now. #WiskerWednesday #Cats #CatsOfMastodon #Torbie #TorbieCat #ATasteOfRamen #Cozy

@gcblasing @GatekeepKen @LindaCollins11 This will always make me angry. And I’m really sick of being angry because of all these scumbags.

You know you are getting old when “friends with benefits” means knowing someone who can drive at night.
