Hi! I take lots of pictures of animals and write about them in weekly stories for my cats' detective agency. Also #TransLivesMatter #BlackLivesMatter #FreePalestine #FreeUkraine
I'm a Cat Lady the Republicans fear.

Now they expect children to read a certain number of words in order to enter Kindergarten. Learning is so varied. It sounds nuts now.

You know those viral posts that claim a small village in Europe pays you to live there? I see it mostly for a Scottish island. There was one for Switzerland & the guys of Yes Theory took a curious American to see if it was hoax. It's not, but there is a deal with it. youtu.be/S27fZ5rjOOI?...

This Village Pays You $70,000 To Move There (is it a scam?)

Billions of dollars for ICE, yet we cannot find funds to support healthcare?

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 14h

With $75 billion and thousands of masked agents, ICE is just getting started.

We take a look at ICE's skyrocketing expansion, the agency's failing standards, and where detention centers are planned for next. bit.ly/4nIoFrB

people on here apparently need to learn a lesson most of us learn in elementary school, which is that it’s fucking rude to correct people on zero stakes things and doing so leads rightfully to social ostracism

BEAR ROOTS: Ursula learns her friends are human-bear shapeshifters as hunting season approaches. Laws are broken, spells are attempted. (Bisexual MC) buy.bookfunnel.com/o... #books #MagicalRealism #NewAdult

Excerpt:
"Tell me what to do. Give me a sign." She was out of her element. Catholicism had plenty of ritual and ceremony in its liturgy, but Ursula hadn't cast her own magical spell before. Blowing out birthday candles and making a wish somehow didn't seem equivalent.
Were all magic spells witchcraft? She had so many questions.

Five years ago, the United Nations concluded that conversion therapy could amount to torture and recommended it be banned. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will consider a case that could greenlight it for LGBTQ+ youth across the nation.

The UN calls conversion therapy 'torture.' Could the Supreme Court greenlight it anyway?

In the first of three blockbuster LGBTQ+ cases on its docket this term, the Supreme Court is about to hear a challenge to Colorado’s conversion therapy ban.

Yep. And also women of privilege who can afford to do things like the internships or classes that happen to be taught by a man in the business. Some of us can't afford the best creative team and printing indies to get started.

I get so frustrated by a lot of the "breaking into comics" dialog from men because most of it is "I walked into such-and-such publishing house and got a internship" or "I met Will Eisner when he was still alive"
