My kid just told my wife that before she (my kid) was born, she (my kid) was her (my wife's) tooth fairy when SHE (my wife) was a kid. & now my kid has all of my wife's old baby teeth in HER mouth. We're all feeling pretty fucked up about it.

I'm just going to say it aloud on main ... In N Out burgers are mid, at best. And I think it's really odd (also at best) to print Bible verses on your corporate packaging.

If people were only taught how many times the U.S. has repeatedly fucked with Mexico and pretty much every Central and South American country, they might actually understand why so many of their people come to the U.S.

I can’t help but notice that ICE keeps claiming that people it shoots were trying to ram the agents with a car, and then video keeps proving that’s a lie.

And the video usually shows the opposite: that the agents rammed into the victim. But there are no consequences for the lies. So there’s no reason to stop telling them.

My point is that public executions did not end 100 years ago. And people have been screeching in my mentions for hours about it because the violent history of whiteness in this country and the way that violence is exported around the world is apparently too much for some of you to bear.

The entire problem of systemic racism is that white people are able to deny history or omit racial factors without realizing because that is our default socialization in a racist culture. It doesnt have to be intentional to still occur and its weird you telling a Black woman shes wrong about it

Today in my Civil War class, we talked about the Dakota War of 1862 & how the U.S. government hanged 38 members of the Dakota tribe. It was the largest mass execution in U.S. history. It was a weird coincidence that we covered this today and students of course drew some parallels to the news.

I'm impressed that some 35+ years after she was in power she's still held up as the monster she was. OTOH, how much of the hatred is sustained by the fact that she was a woman? 🤷‍♀️

This is exactly why government meetings shouldn't begin with prayer. Religious freedom means accepting that others have beliefs you don't share, not demanding special treatment whenever Christianity isn't the center of attention.

Please balance me here guys, WHY do you
VACCINATE your children and do you do your own research as a parent or you're just following the norm?
someopinionatedchick:
I did my own research. I randomly selected 10,000 children, collected serum samples, ran ELISAs for antigen-specific IgG titers, performed neutralization assays, calculated seroconversion rates, controlled for confounders using multivariable regression and conducted longitudinal surveillance for adverse events.
Then I remembered I'm not an immunologist, epidemiologist, virologist or biostatistician, so | took my kid to the pediatrician.

Not people, men. Most likely straight men. And it's because, as many feminist scholars have spent decades deconstructing, a central value of patriarchy is how it equates sex with dominance. That's why homoerotic statements are used as insults and threats; to imply domination of masculinity.

Combined with the C1e haplogroup in Iceland, this MAY tell a story that isn't documented historically. Not of a lasting cultural exchange that transformed both cultures, but of earlier contact & intermixing. I, for one, would like to know more about those North Americans who helped settle Europe.

... could also be explained by later contact (~1700 CE) or a rare East Asian-derived matrilineal line. But the /strongest/ hypothesis is that a woman of North American ancestry traveled to Iceland, later gave birth to children who became part of the modern Icelandic population.

The crimes continue! These prosecutors simply love lying to and withholding evidence from this judge, who told them they will face contempt charges if they keep doing this. I actually don’t believe she’s going to stand for this anymore. They’re clearly hiding something truly insidious.

They're not great. They've been mentioned to me once or twice this year and HCW are asking upfront now as part of their standard questions whether patients are on them. Until I see a good 5-10 years of other people being guinea pigs for these drugs, I'm not considering them. I like my organs as is.
