I am so curious as to how many of the folks who shaved their heads in 2020 are now tradwives.

Earlier this year, I met a Croatian journalist who was in the US doing a piece on America’s politics and I asked her what surprised her. And she said, “What you all call the far left is just being normal.”

Let these exit polls be yet another reminder:

1. Can’t nobody say jack shit to -OR- about Black Women.

2. The ONLY group who has the right to say anything to -OR- about Black Men…are Black Women.

When you’re consistently #1 and #2 in the game, you’ve earned that right.

this should be the question asked at every Democrat press appearance. "what are you personally taking away from the unambiguous success of Mamdani's campaign and the clear fact that his ideas are record-breakingly popular, in terms of how to attract and keep your own voters"

Aranock, 4 of Ravens @aranock.bsky.social · 8h

Mamdani didnt just win, he got over 50% of the vote. They cant even claim Cuomo woulda won if Sliwa dropped out. Its a victory thsts undeniable, and yet I suspect we will see new levels of centrist lets be more bigoted dems clownery to try and say that the party shouldnt take Mamdani's lead.

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution.

The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

Doctors in Montreal can now prescribe things like orchestra tickets to patients and I think that’s so cool. Social prescribing.

This applies to ADHD, autism and other health conditions like EDS, MECFS, and MCAS, too!

Not only does it delay treatment and understanding, but also can cause damage and declining health that may not be reversible.

Structured Success @structuredsuccess.ca · 1d

Being undiagnosed or misdiagnosed isn’t just an oopsie-doodle.

It delays treatment, kneecaps our self-understanding, and can even reinforce unhealthy shame cycles, self-criticism, and maladaptive coping strategies

So this is a little volcanic crater with a waterfall that a hydroelectric plant uses, and this rooster is apparently onsite 24/7

He's just there all the time

Sometimes hens will come to visit him but they leave and he remains

I asked our guide if he has a name

"He never told me," was the reply

What's wrong with wanting a gentler society where everyone's needs are met and all have access to beauty and knowledge? We haven't lived in Eden for a while so why in this age of plenty do we insist on rewarding ignorance with comfort and esteem and making a pariah of Truth and knowledge?

It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars:

1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

If I were to sum up my advice to the Democratic party leadership about how to defeat Trumpism, it would be to set aside policy for now and focus instead on articulating a vision of what American society should look like and what role the US should play in a rapidly changing world today.
