I wrote another thing for @religiondispatches.org about Chris Smalls. Demand justice. Share his name. Expose this assault. And hold accountable every coward & collaborator who chooses comfort in the empire over solidarity with the oppressed. Chris Smalls is not alone. He deserves to be seen. ✊🏾

The world is burning, and my regular financial donations to various causes feel like I'm doing nothing more than spitting on the flames. But our rescued cat has cuddled with me this entire weekend and purred louder when I kissed her head while she sat on my lap. So that's what I'm focusing on.

These Duolingo animations are becoming progressively more unhinged

A screenshot from the Duolingo app showing a summary of the completed lesson. The main text says "Practice complete!" and there are three blocks highlighting total XP (10), accuracy rating (amazing - 100%), and lesson time (blazing - 0:31). Below them is a button that says "Claim XP". The unhinged part of the screenshot is the green Duolingo owl making a face similar to The Scream by Edvard Munch, Duo's brain has popped out of his skull and is making the same face.

I tried, I really did, but this is a DNF. I read Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, Onyx Storm, and started We Need to Talk About Kevin while I got through half of this book. Excellent premise, but way too many facts just thrown at you. I'm also not the biggest fan of footnotes.

Have y'all noticed that it's mostly white people who are upset about NHI in South Africa? 🤔 For some reason, white people are very comfortable complaining to me about our government and they are SHOCKED when I say I'm not worried about the NHI. Go be racist with someone else, I'm tired.

If a book has a movie/series adaptation, I'm a firm believer in watching the movie/series before reading the book. If you prefer the book, then it's just a nice pleasant surprise and you aren't disappointed with the movie/series. This is why I haven't read Dune yet, I promise.

This is one of my favorites in my collection - smooshing babbys back around 1910. The back identifies the woman as Fay and the cats are Smut and Spot (remember ‘smut’ can mean dirt or soot, not just obscene material).

Black and white photo of a smiling middle aged white woman on the left who is looking at the camera while kneeling on the ground to gently squish and press her face on a white cat with black spots in the middle of the photo. The cat is not frightened but clearly a little annoyed and trying to escape her grasp. Next to the cat on the right is another, nearly identical cat that looks perturbed by the commotion. They seem to be outdoors, perhaps on a porch.
