I'm Duaa from Gaza. The war is over. I had a beautiful home, a wonderful life, and healthy children😞. Everything is destroyed. We're homeless. We've even lost our livelihood. Donate. I want to save my children from this devastation and live a better life.😞😞💔

Also, can't shoot you in the eye if they can't find your eye.

IF YOU CARE PLEASE SHARE.

Gaza today is emerging from a war that has exhausted it with no jobs, no homes, and no sources of livelihood. We have lost almost everything, and prices have risen to unprecedented levels.

At such a time, please do not leave us alone to face the cold and hunger.

Today is National Coming Out Day!

It's also Freedom to Read Day, aka the last day of Banned Books Week.

This feels right — because the main reason they try to ban books is to keep people from dreaming they could ever come out.

I am someone with blue hair and a rose ring. This is empowering on a daily basis.

It is the power to reject societal expectations of what "pretty femininity" looks like; it is power to sit in my own Self without catering to the male gaze.

As a fashion historian, I will die on this hill: the point of having blue hair and nose rings (or spiky nails or stripper heels or tattoos or an all-black wardrobe) is not to look pretty or cool. It's to look (and feel) powerful--something many young American women crave right now. And it's working.

Kid Rock: Do you know what is stupid… these chicks running around on campuses with blue hair, five nose rings.

I should also say that Persona is the first novel I've read since maybe Nevada that made me go, "I didn't know how much I (we) needed this."

Mark Carney sold himself as a pro-sovereignty, transformational leader, but he has acted like a defender of a status quo based on confined dependence on a Trumpist United States.
In any case, that’s not what Canadians voted for. But I’m not sure that Carney cares about that small point.

you will doubtless be delighted to learn that the Le Guin goat-calling charm from a Wizard of Earthsea ("Noth hierth malk man/hiolk han merth han!" may be a livestock counting-rhyme.

My wife is doing demolition in the kitchen.
My girlfriend is biking over here to help move the old stove.
Time to go find my grubby clothes.
