Childless. Catless. Dogless. And climate change messed up my one hobby.
Friend had hysterectomy. Realized I never really thought about how much space a uterus takes, and how much musculature must be attached in order to potentially keep a child in place. The photos you see most often emphasize the child or fallopian apparatus; not the supporting musculature.

How many Gbord suggested words do I have to delete before they will suggest the word that I typed correctly? Is it learning that the word I typed is the word I want, or is it just fucking with me ?

Fitness expo - walking by it - it's an odd conglomeration of people who look fit and muscle dudes smoking cigarettes.

Never forget... Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden, Oklahoma City... The only people who witnessed the first four were children then, and now over 80. New generation; new bombs; new enemies.

There are people who think public transit is a communist plot. People who think highway carnage is acceptable, and fight mandatory safety belts or bags. People who want you to let them record your voice and thoughts so they can sell your humanity as a product.

NSW is proposing to try children as adults. I guess sending children to prisons run by pedophiles is an historical tradition Australia sees as one worth keeping.

Michael Cohen would be willing to paint stripes on a donkey so Donald could sell it as a zebra. But now Donald has discovered hyenas, and won't rest until you're convinced the donkey is a hyena. The donkey is a hyena! Just repeat it 100 more times and of course it is.

Odd that Robin Morgan (a name not familiar) died so soon after Gloria Steinem (very familiar). But the article is an example of the contrasts: 'she wrote, stating that the murderous Charles Manson was “only the logical extreme of the normal American male’s fantasy."'

I thought people climbed Shasta when there was snowpack, using crampons?? Otherwise it's steep, loose, unstable rock.

Gloria Steinem was the palatable face of the movement -not really radical, but reasonable. I say this not just from reading her obit, but also from reading and hearing some of the rhetoric in the day. The worst were really like today's trolls; people with a lot of hatred; some for very good reasons.

Russia is trying to deprive the world of grain, and his organ grinder monkey is depriving the world of fuel (meanwhile taking Venezuelas). Weakening everyone else so they'll be at their mercy?

Who do you trust? This clip is notable not just because Dolly Parton made her first tv appearance on this guy's show, but also there is a degree of "what do the elites know?", in this case Johns Hopkins specifically mentioned as inferior to "my advertiser's product". youtu.be/0R1YV6tOMCw?...

Why? Because "Google is intentionally shifting its feeds (like Google Discover and the home feed) away from traditional publisher articles toward a mixed media model that includes YouTube videos, social posts, and algorithmic web results" 😖

Lesson from a Dolly cultural moment: Appalachia is distinct from The South, and the bicoastals tend to lump it all into the Flyover States. We're all dealing with that generalization.

Having moved from a country with a low minimum wage to a country with a high minimum wage, I've decided universal basic income makes more sense than having any minimum wage. Both countries have illegal workers, and employers trying to rip off workers.
