"at the dances, i was one of the most untiring and gayest. one evening a cousin of sasha, a young boy, took me aside. with a grave face, as if he were about to announce the death of a dear comrade, he whispered to me that it did not behoove an agitator to dance. certainly not with suych reckless abandon, anyway. it was undignified for one who was on the way to becoming a force in the anarchist movement. my frivolity would only hurt the Cause. i grew furious at the impudent interference of the boy. i told him to mind his own business. i was tired of having the Cause thrown in my face. i did not believe that a Cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from convention and prejudice, should demand the denial of life and joy. i insisted that our Cause could not expect me to become a nun and that the movement would not be turned into a cloister. if it meant that, i did not want it." -- emma goldman

i feel like this is accurate.
the dog caught the car then just stopped. didn't even really fight back. did nothing to modify the car (this metaphor is running thin).
it feels like we really did just declare post-history, racism defeated, and, so to say, go to brunch, when we needed system change.

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

Every year, 12 million girls are married before the age of 18, that is one girl every three seconds. Globally, more than 640 million women alive today were married as children. These marriages are rarely a matter of choice. Instead, they often reflect entrenched gender inequality and poverty.

do (or do not if you value mental health) look into how the texas rangers got their start.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 1d

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

i have several uncles who would probably volunteer if they weren't like 70. hell, during floyd protests my trans hispanic dad was doing police ride alongs and going to their shooting ranges. i think she would oppose ice though.
i guess my family is kinda fucked up.

it would surprise people how many hispanic citizens resent migrants and latin american governments.
i'm half hispanic, most of my family is hispanic, and most of them are conservative. it is unfortunately common.
if republicans were smarter and not racist asshats they could easily get their votes.

this was a pc where the customer dropped off most of the parts.
so anyway that's what i do all day most of the time. i also do repairs and diagnostics, work on laptops, some electronics, but i've been shifted mostly to custom builds (we have 5 employees and i'm the pc person).

system is a 9950x3d, a 5090 on rog crosshair x870e hero, 64 gb ddr5-6000, 1300w edge psu. the pain was the case, but i crammed it all in there.
the lian li wireless components are a blessing. i hate control boxes. they save so much cable mess/management. the edge psu with its usb 2.0 hub, also good.

i always wondered what kind of machine my body is.
apparently it is one that turns piles of parts into computers.
i'm not terribly pleased with that, it's not what i want to do, but i'm good at it?
this fella was a bit annoying though. getting that aio in with the board's vrm shield was bleh.

my whitest trait (other than my skin pigmentation/lack thereof) is that i enjoy mayonnaise.
not, like, gobs of it, but it gives a nice little tart flavor that pairs well with mustard on a cold sandwich or something, or even mixed with cold shredded chicken.

He hasn't signed the other bills yet, but he still has days to do so
This headline is misleading for not mentioning that.

The gender education veto is bad, but far from the most important trans rights bill on his desk.

There's still time to contact Newsom for the rest!
