There’s a book about that! (yes, I was a librarian!) In America, it went faster if you supported white supremacy and treated black people like dirt. It probably works that way in England too.

The English belief of Irish racial inferiority has a long and ugly history. Maybe Sullivan is doing that whole “pick me” behavior that some women do to get on the right side of male patriarchy? It certainly seems like it. #SAD
Answers to a question about who said the Irish were an inferior race?
Turns out, a lot including Robert Knox - a Victorian anatomist and notorious race theorist who argued that the Celtic Irish were an ineradicable, lower “race” unfit for self government. And many more examples

Trying to pretend that oppression of women is normal and safe is pure nonsense. We just want all the rights men enjoy. #FuckThePatriarchy
There is no “gender war”. Women didn’t take away men’s right to vote. Women didn’t ban men from education or property. Women didn’t write laws controlling men’s bodies. Women didn’t build systems that stripped men of their freedom. The imbalance never ran both ways.

I got really tired of folks telling me that I needed to ‘forgive’ my ex because the hate would weigh me down. Fuck that shit! This author gave me the reason why - my ex never repented & certainly never apologized nor offered restitution. Didnt change his behavior , still a pedo Wonderful book

I love how they remember from year to year where the feeders are. Woman who bought my old house said they were still coming to my deck. They are a joy to watch, even when they’re refusing to share. I love hearing them right next to me as I’m weeding quietly.

Old Bay is a little different from Tony Chachere’s, which my husband learned about from the Louisiana side of his family. That’s mostly for gumbo & étoufée We’re also gonna try this new variation my guy picked up from the store recently

I’m very, very lucky. No MAGAs in my fiber group! We were knitting the Norwegian hats popular during WWII as an anti-Nazi protest. The other, larger knitting group doesn’t seem to have any either - at the retreat, everyone was trashing Trump. But I do live in a very blue state.

Best thing I did was to double knit the tough wool with a strand of mohair to add just a touch of warm fluffiness. Kids loved it.

These white women are so stupid. Just brainwashed & willfully stupid #Epstein class approves this garbage; it’s easier to exploit women if they have no legal voice.

So many of the books that white folks ~should~ read are depressing. I could only do one chapter of the 1619 Project with long pauses in between. I was horrified & embarrassed to be white & part (even if only by appearance) of this evil destruction. We need to keep calling them out, expose it

There is a fascinating book about this very topic. Irish & Italians (as only two examples) weren’t considered white. They had to earn it by beating down The Others, particularly black people, long and hard enough to earn their place as whites. Crazy shit

What left media?
Twitter is owned by a Republican 
Fox News is owned by a Republican 
CNN is owned by a Republican 
OANN is owned by a Republican 
Parler is owned by a Republican 
Newsmax is owned by a Republican 
Dailey Wire is owned by a Republican 
The “liberal media” is a myth. Also Sinclair TV stations are Republican owned. They own 294 TV stations

My last move I was retired and had room to properly weed (5 copies of Cordelia’s Honor and the Hobbit?!) and set up a children’s section, SF & fantasy, mystery and general nonfiction. It was glorious & I can find books again! I’m guessing I have 2-3 thousand. This is part of the sf section

Quite a few times I was taken for a MAGAt at demonstrations because I’m a white woman carrying an American flag - which I have done since I demonstrated against the Iraq war btw. But It Is Our Flag Not Theirs Alone Reclaiming our flag!

Kate Marley @boudicca2017.bsky.social · 24/05/2026
Nope. This is how we roll cause this is an AMERICAN flag not a MAGAt flag. They tried to co-opt it but we refuse to yield

I gotta laugh at all these tiny dick men haranguing us that women must submit and obey; it’s our nature. Boyo, if it’s so natural, why do so many men beat, harass and kill women to keep them down? Y’all just want to be bullies. NO

Kudos to the @inquirer.com for smart story placement in today’s online edition. Yes, climate change is real. Science does facts (mostly) & repealing laws keeping our air, land & water safe only proves their stupidity & greed. #ClimateChange #Science
