It’s a thing. Now that you know, watch for it in the wild. Usernames, tattoos, bumperstickers, t-shirts. These people like to advertise.

Why do you think the supreme court kneecapped the EPA?

‘Woke’ schools adding litter boxes in bathrooms for furries.

I have relatives with master’s degrees that work in education that you can not convince that cat litter bathrooms are not a thing.

This usually places undue burden on women, poor and generally anybody not a white dude.

Say you are a woman, okay you’ve got your certified copy of your birth certificate $10-but wait the name doesn’t match because you got married.

Now you need a marriage certificate, thats another $10 and the trouble of contacting another municipal office.

Oh were you married twice? Thats tracking down another 2 municipal offices, another $10 marriage cert and now a certified judgement of divorce which will cost-ooh was your children’s custody agreement a part of that? $40. Did you not remember your divorce file number from 30 years ago? It’ll be an additional $5 per name per every 2 years searched.

I’ve seen women spend like $200 just on certified copies to get a realID driver’s license. Has a chilling effect on registering, to solve a problem of voter fraud that doesn’t really exist.

I’ve deleted my account, but for twitter was nice for a run to get notifications on local road closures and weather alerts. Sigh.

Ah! I am a beginner, and use a much thinner quilting cotton. To prevent the glue showing I have to fill with mix of acrylic medium and starch paste (haven’t found a ratio I really liked), or to back the cloth with paper. So to me your casing looked like witchcraft! I really like the etching effect. No idea how it’d work in practice, but it seems like you could make some gorgeous illustrationy covers by going over the cloth multiple times at different strengths for different values.

Ty for the post! Did you media fill the bookcloth with anything? What glue did you use?

…We also sometimes eat other people when shit hits the fan. 🙁.

I’m not sure Edgar Rice Burroughs was going for realism either. It’s just a pulpy action book all about how this noble born white dude is just naturally superior to everyone else just because he’s a lord.

Yeah, was listening to BBC this morning -Tim Franks interviewing Israeli intelligence about allowing fuel through to get water pumps going again. It was very clear the answer was no, but they refused to say so directly. The interviewee became hostile and kept going on about how hamas uses these people as human shields. … Is the west supposed to think dying of thirst the more humanitarian option? Is that what they’re going for? jfc

arg?

Yep. But other medical products have been exempt the whole time.

Well. In hell you’ll find company. The greed of capitalism is a violence, it a fair world it would be punished accordingly.

I guess since you are an anthropomorphized dog that all your memes are furry by default?

Crash Landing on You (2019) has like every single romantic comedy trope and it was still fun. Kingdom (2019) was also good. It was a fresh take on zombies and suspenseful, but season 2 left on a cliffhanger and season 3 is in limbo.

edit: I forgot Mad for Each Other (2021)! Another mostly romantic comedy about a guy with anger issues and woman with paranoid delusions as neighbors. It’s quirky and quick paced. (tho TW for past domestic abuse.)

I’d also recommend a recentish book about him and Lincoln called The Zealot and the Emancipator in case anyone wants some light reading. The politics around Bleeding Kansas feels relevant to the US today.

John Brown did nothing wrong. (except maybe a bit tactically at the end.)

You have to take a step back and look at it on a bigger scale. The state caused generational harm. Kids are in worse positions because of what the state stole from their grandparents. I can’t look up stats on my phone, but it is a thing that is measurable.

I definitely believe the poor need more resources, but it’s a different discussion from affirmative action.

Equality v equity.

Do you want every to be given the exact same resources at the start? Or do you want everyone to be able to reach the same outcome?

The state legislated racism - kneecapped a swathe of the population’s ability to access education and prosper. So how could the state possibly provide restitution for this without addressing the population it did this to?
