I have it on good authority that #Jesus doesn’t give a shit about an American flag emoji.

Jesus doesn’t like or respect Rep. Tricia Cotham (Traitor-NC)

It's 11:31 PM Eastern and I'm glad you are alive.

Thank you for being here with me.

A colorful pet portrait of a gorgeous Brittany Spaniel dog named Frisco, featuring bright rainbow colors. Acrylics on 16x20 canvas. I just loved painting all that curly fur!

Love isn’t always romantic or sexual. Love means care. I love you. I say that a lot to people I care for. It’s important. Don’t forget. Stay well. G’nite.

At the risk of offending a lot of people:

Why is Joe Biden on Twitter? What’s the President’s excuse?

He knows that Twitter is down ranking Ukrainians in the algorithm, and that Musk himself has far right sympathies.

Yet the US government persists in using Twitter.

Wisconsin Republicans are angry about having lost the State Supreme Court and potentially the ability to gerrymander. They are already plotting to impeach Justice—elect Janet Protasiewicz.

#Wisconsin State Senate Republicans in Districts 5, 8, 19, and 30 all won their elections by smaller margins than Protasiewicz. Circulate recall petitions to recall them and threaten to file if they vote to impeach her. If they defy the voters this way, they deserve it. #politics

There’s no purpose in shaming poor elderly folk whose only contact with family is Facebook.

Personally, I believe that situation is tragic.

But governments should absolutely be shamed for enabling that dependence.

Amazingly, drag queens at the library weren't mentioned in this report on a *60-year coverup of sexual abuse of more than 600 children* by the Catholic Church in Maryland. Just #pedophile priests. You'd almost think the drag queen stuff is misdirection. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/maryland-ag-documents-widespread-sexual-abuse-least-600-victims-baltim-rcna78378?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma

On this day in 1959, physicist Lise Meitner (who discovered nuclear fission and was excluded from the Nobel Prize for her own discovery) delivered her only direct address on gender in science https://www.themarginalian.org/2016/11/07/lise-meitner-bryn-mawr-women-in-science/

Alan Turing is widely recognized as a hero and a genius. He’s considered the father of theoretical computer science and AI.

But he was also a gay man whom the British government chemically castrated.

Turing killed himself because of the way his government treated him.

What more might he have done had he lived?

As this wave of hatred sweeps the US, I wonder how many gay and trans Alan Turings we’ve already lost, and how many we’ll continue to lose.

If you’re privileged enough to stop using Big Social, you should.

Granted, not everyone is, and I sympathize.

But if you’re free to leave, you absolutely have a social responsibility to do it. Anything less is an endorsement of Fascism.

The Murdochs and Paul Ryan can be forced to testify in Dominion case: judge - Raw Story - Celebrating 19 Years of Independent Journalism https://www.rawstory.com/rupert-murdoch-must-testify/?traffic_source=Connatix

After Trump's arraignment, Don Jr. recklessly posted a photo of his judge's daughter online.

Which inspired AOC to tweet her take on what it really says about Trump that Don Jr. is stooping to such a low. A must-read, folks: https://www.comicsands.com/aoc-trump-jr-judge-daughter-2659739806.html?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=toot&utm_campaign=SAND

One person will proclaim, "Glory to Ukraine!" and millions will echo back, "Glory to the Heroes!"
