2024-04-26 07:55:15 +0000 UTCFantastic diatribe this week. I really relate to outright refusing to capitalize the word “god.” It’s primarily out of spite at this point, if I’m being honest. And goddammit. This is the first I’ve heard of the eclipse denial thing, and I swear to glob I’m going to lose my mind.

2024-04-26 01:42:49 +0000 UTCGuys, I feel like the litter box story is actually worse than it looks. Turns out some schools do have buckets with cat litter in them . . . so kids can use them as toilets during LOCKDOWNS. E.g., https://www.denverpost.com/2019/08/21/jeffco-schools-buckets-cat-litter-lockdowns/ Maybe that should motivate legislation rather than the made up "furry" version.

2024-04-25 19:28:33 +0000 UTCI empathize Noah. Me oldest brother is a flat earther. At Christmas I made the mistake of saying something about Evolution. He tried to gaslight me into thinking I'd talked over him (checked w/my partner; I did not do that), so he could say I was preaching at him. Then I remembered he's a flat earther and asked myself, why did bring science into this conversation?

2024-04-25 16:28:29 +0000 UTC21 years ago I had an abortion in AZ, due to birth defect. I was so far along back then, I almost had to travel out of state and it just hit home that not all women would be able to do that.
