Happy Father's Day to all the other dads out there!

I feel like the forced birth pipeline starts very early - insisting that girls and women fit into gender norms and prioritize marriage and children above all else. Making them critical of their bodies and appearances to serve this purpose.

I even think transphobia is another manifestation of this - reducing people to their “biological” functions and using that to determine where in the societal hierarchy they fall. The same thing has been done with race time and time again.

This is why you can’t fall for what appear to be academic debates about “when life begins” and “are trans kids in sports getting an unfair advantage.” It’s never about those things at all, and in fact, those are deliberate, reasonable-sounding talking points generated to try to recruit more people to bigotry.

Looming and grooming.

This blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) was in a tree looming above me, presenting me a chance to get a photo at a different angle. The bird appears to groom itself. I'm struck at how narrow the birds neck appears. Perhaps this is a young blue jay,

THIS IS PRO-LIFE HYPOCRISY IN AMERICA!

Glad to see Republicans doing everything they can to protect (white) kids from dangers like "seeing gay people be happy" and "learning racism exists," so they can be shot to pieces in school in between floor shifts in the factory. You know. Like God intended.

As we celebrate this Juneteenth. And as Governor Greg Abbott bans DEI in the state of Texas, remember we celebrate Juneteenth because Texas decided they wanted to keep the slaves an extra three years. #KnowYourHistory.

#GoodMorning!

Happy #FathersDay to all my fellow Dads out there.

To those for whom Father's Day is hard, I pray you have peace, calm, and a blessed day.

Have a great one

Downs writes,

"The internecine conflict and the institution of slavery could not and did not end neatly at Appomattox or on Galveston Island. Ending slavery was not simply a matter of issuing pronouncements. It was a matter of forcing rebels to obey the law. To a very real extent, the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment amounted to promissory notes of freedom."

I’d like to help with your job search if I can. What industry or skill would be a good fit?

Happy Sunday
Happy Father's Day to all the Fediverse Dads as well!

Tonight will be my last stream on Twitch and the last episode of SCHWUPScast on Twitch. One of the discussions will be the problems with Twitch and stuff so see you all there. Boosts are appreciated.

Happy Father's Day to good dads everywhere. That's me and my dad in the picture- circa 1952 ish?
