Bollocks bollocks bollocks. That's a very dead washing machine with no parts availability for the bearings. (Excuse the yellow, I spilled stuff immediately before the video!)

Born on this day in 1904, Chinese anarchist novelist, Ba Jin.
"In the 20s, like many young Chinese intellectuals of his day, he went to Paris to study, and it was there partly out of homesickness, as he tells it, that he wrote his first novel Destruction [灭亡]."

Losing my mind reading some anthropologists refer to women hunting small animals as "gathering". Women cannot stop gathering rabbits.

The part that Tom Flanagan forgot to mention in his little grift column in the National Post is that Canada has very rarely lived up to its full treaty obligations.
So when he says that land changed hands fairly and peacefully, he's lying through his teeth.
But then again, it's the National Post.

we should live in a world where access to trans care is given just because someone wants it. no one should have to prove they need it to begin with.

so if i understand this correctly, gaines has made her career by publicly calling trans athletes predators and threats to women while completely failing to ever mention even once that her mentor/college swimming coach was sexually assaulting and harassing women on the team while she was there?
Riley Gaines climbed the MAGA ladder by vilifying trans women in sports. Now, teammates are speaking out about the real problems on her team: abusive coaching, sexual harassment, eating disorders. ow.ly/o3wq50XuCzp

There's an illness people won't talk about, can't afford to buy home tests for, don't use precautions against, and won't be able to get a vaccine for this fall.
Treatment of this disease is no longer covered by several insurance companies.
But tell me again why I should take off my KN95 😷
