I really wish the theatre department at my uni wasn't a sanctioned cult with multiple tenured sexual predators. Sadly we had fraternities at the school on top of that.

Tbf it also exists to subject men to ritualized abuse in order to irreparably bond them to each other so that they won’t blow the whistle on all the raping

Good. Because I'm so sick of hearing that asshole's voice on my radio. Al Jazeera reports harmful things he says without making me listen to his voice. Everyone else can too.

I saw so many good mushrooms on Cape Breton Island last week. #MushroomMonday
A bright yellow mushroom with raised white marking. It's shaped like a ball. What I'm assuming are young turkey tail mushrooms. They are dark brown with white rims and are growing from a fallen bitch tree. I thought someone had dropped tomatoes or strawberries at first. Very red, blob-shaped, small mushrooms. No idea what kind.  Two deep orange, disk-shaped mushrooms next to a mossy rock.

Any of y'all out there with sons in fraternities better be talking to them about their responsibility to protect women. Always. It's of course a conversation we should have with all boys, but the ones who self-select to be part of groups that thrive on hazing and hierarchy? They really need it.

Did you know you can bring clean, used containers to the deli and have them put your food in those? And you can buy silicone bags and get your cold cuts in those. You don't actually have to keep taking home more plastic.

After Joe Biden's poor debate performance in 2024, people & reporters were aghast at how the White House covered up his mental decline. If reporters felt deceived, you think they would be more vigilant about reporting Trump's mental decline instead of sane washing his idiocy.

The Canadian sweet tooth is craycray. I had to convince a barista today that I didn't want my hot cocoa when cocoa mix AND syrup. I requested just syrup. Then she put 2 different syrups in. Still too sweet, but nothing compared to what she wanted to give me.

This vacation I'm adding both a new province and a new time zone to my travels. So glad to be getting a little break from the US. This is Hall's Harbor in the Bay of Fundy. The difference in water level from high to low tide is 22 feet! Purportedly the largest in the world.
Low tide on the Bay of Fundy at Halls Harbour. In the foreground are large rocks. As the shore descends to the water on the right, the rocks get smaller and smaller, then larger again at the point that is underwater more often than not. On the left are tree covered bluffs, including one pine that's growing out of the rock face and up. The water is placid and sun is shining despite a somewhat cloudy sky.

First eyewitness accounts from this afternoon’s ICE shooting in Austin is here, from freelance reporter Emiliano Tahui Gómez.

Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such

Here in North Austin, where ICE agents appear to have shot an individual in his car. I spoke to two of the only witnesses.

Nedevia Bolaños and her husband, Carlos, own a business just off the intersection where the shooting happened. Shortly before 1 pm they says they heard what sounded like two gunshots. Carlos ran out first. A blue Toyota sedan and a black Escalade were stopped under the highway.Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such
 
He said he saw an olive-skinned man, seemingly in his 30s, leaning backwards against his seat. A masked agent was standing outside the car. The agent refused to answer questions. Within a few minutes as many as 10 other ICE agents arrived.

Carlos asked the victim if he was ok. "Yes," the man said in Spanish, but he looked exhausted. Carlos asked why they had shot him. "Because I didn't stop."Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such. 

Bolaños ran up next. She said she continously asked the ICE agents about why they'd shot him and if they were going to render aid. They didn't answer her. It was an APD officer who later arrived and cut open the young mans shirt, revealing a deep hole between his shoulder blades. The ambulance arrived about 10 minutes after and carried him off. "I've never seen all this. Thank God I'm a citizen," Bolaños said in Spanish. "Or I'd be living like this. In a dream of terror."

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

🚨190K Pennsylvanians have dropped PENNIE after the tax credit premiums were not renewed for the ACA. That’s almost 200,000 who are going without health insurance. Absolutely despicable and unacceptable. A huge number, but sadly, the Medicaid cuts in 2027 are going to see larger numbers & deadlier.💔
