For your Autumnal 🍂 celebrations this year, feel free to burn a copy of the Malleus Maleficarum. I never approve of book burning🔥/banning, except for that extra special POS 📚 that's a manual written by the first incel, a crazy, sexually frustrated 15th C monk on how to specifically torture women.

A 16-year old created this art project for HS. It had to be made out of a book & relevant to the book. She chose the Bible, and made this piece as a commentary on how it has been used to persecute women. How would you respond if someone told you the Bible is anti-woman.

Photo of a young girl in a costume with flames at the bottom and a 16th century gown signifying a woman being burned at the stake captioned "mom I need a costume for a religious party at school. Say no more".

Christians didn't burn witches at the stake. They lit women they couldn't control on fire.

I'm sure they willing took 🍩 since their pay will likely be delayed due to the shutdown. How insulting to them the government had the nerve to recommend to the military they take out loans from USAA to pay their bills instead of resolving things. Congress still gets paid during the shutdown, btw.

Turning Point USA is a domestic terrorism organization, and unlike "Antifa," it's an organization that actually exists, with leaders and funders and members and everything—people who can eventually all be tracked down and prosecuted for their crimes.

I'll believe it when I see it. So many MAGA have said they actually don't care if he's a pedophile. All MAGA Republicans need to pay a price for dragging us into this mess. But who will punish them? The ineffectual nice guy Dems & Independents? Don't make me laugh?

At some point, someone, somewhere, some country/countries are going to get real fucking tired of this American president & his Captain Morgan sidekick & their antics. And average Americans & soldiers will pay a heavy price for their fuckery. 🤷‍♀️😐

NEW: TN’s Senators Blackburn & Hagerty joined Republicans in blocking a resolution that would’ve forced Trump to get congressional approval for targeted killings.

AP: The Trump admin hasn’t shown Congress any evidence that the targeted boats were smuggling drugs.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

As my last act today, I want to say to whoever needs it: you’re doing beautifully, even if you don’t feel like it. You matter, in quiet ways, in loud ways, in ways you may never realize. Be proud of yourself for trying, growing and showing up even when it’s hard.
With all the love I have left ♡

I kinda remember Trump pardoning a bunch of people for this, many of whom beat up cops and put them in the hospital. I think they were yelling something about the Vice President as they stormed the building.

The semi-colon is an essential tool for any serious writer.

Use of the semi-colon has apparently halved in the last 20 years. Yet it is key to great prose style and we should lament its decline.
