As I said back in 2020, 2021, and 2023: Without meaningful repercussions, a failed coup attempt is just a training exercise.

The horrific story about the Arizona politician attacked by rapists coming out along with all the new disclosures about the Cornell gang rapists makes me want to go into full lesbian separatist mode and be glad that I'm an old fat crip dyke Crone who never had children.

Dem leaders: hear me out, we won't endorse the Trump-endorsed rapist who made transphobia a big part of his campaign, but we also won't endorse his opponent actually running as a democrat Voters: *vote for Mamdani in a landslide* go fuck yourself Schumer Dem leaders: how did this happen

How to breakfall correctly. It's genuinely ludicrous that in America we take physical education classes for 12 years and learning how to fall safely is almost never part of the curriculum. Should be teaching kids that in nursery school.

Well, if I told the Jesuit who taught my intro Catholic theology class that, Fr. Smith would have flunked me. Must be nice to be a powerful white male politician instead of a smartassed retired chemist coming late to my queerness.

Taylor Farms grows lettuce in Salinas and Yuma. They also buy from other farms and process produce all over, incl Mexico & Europe. They've caused multiple outbreaks and sell under a variety of brands/labels to consumers and restaurants/food service. They're about a third of entire US salad market.

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.

I spent 25 years doing Ag accounting in the Salinas Valley. Processing large payrolls, I saw how field laborers live and work. I've known quite a few of them. I've seen with my own eyes that the political talk painting immigrants as lazy criminals who live off public benefits is an obscene lie.

Diced cucumbers — especially either hydroponic ones (the baby cucumbers or the English ones sealed in cellophane) or standard American that you peel anyway — plus tomatoes and bell peppers do great under any dressing, or none. Roasted salsa ingredients can be safely rechilled.

But for the immediate future, it might be a good time to switch to chopped salads using blanched and chilled vegetables. Locate your local farm stands and get your greens there, if possible. If you have a grill, consider grilled vegetables (zucchini, especially) so you’re not heating up a kitchen.

Hot take: if you're a moderate D, you should vote for the DSA candidate in your primaries. After all the trading's done, a moderate rep will trade away everything you want and you'll end up with R garbage. A DSA elected will fight for MORE than what you want and maybe win you SOME of what you want.

if SSPX schisms themselves into total irrelevance and everyone else gets the message loud and clear that “fuck Vatican II” is a hanging offense no matter what language you prefer your Mass in, that is a net good for the church as a whole and it forces a lot of the worst people to shut the fuck up

Not so friendly reminder that complaining about “straight passing relationships” during Pride is harmful to both the B and the T and Pride is for more than JUST same sex attraction. Our Pride is not only who we love, but our ability to also love and be loved as ourselves.

We're a year away from the primary, and he's not winning with us lefties. If we don't talk about his support for millionaires & billionaires, and the lurching ever rightward, let alone taking away rights of trans and other minority groups he obviously doesn't like, it's like voting fascism-lite.

It isn't difficult. Give people accommodations if they need it. If we have a lack of resources then perhaps we should look at taxing the wealthy at a level that is appropriate.

Every hurdle you put in front of an able person to prevent them from receiving accommodations you also put in front of a disabled person. Every dollar you take from a program to discourage abuse is taken from providing accommodations or services.

Damn, you still stand by this even after all of us disabled people told you that you're full of shit? Give people accomodations. If someone is asking for them, they probably need them and it's a good thing that improves life for everyone. See curb cuts and online meetings during Covid.

Sometimes you have to take a belief you have, rotate it in your brain, and realize that the core conceit of that belief is something you should let go and change your mind. Worrying about people getting accomodations despite not being "disabled enough" is weird.

See, I think this is exactly the reason kids need to learn file systems, both analog and digital. Creative knowledge work isn't just knowing how to FIND information, it's understanding how to organize and sort & reconstitute information in new ways. Systematic categorization is a key part of that.

If the united states taxed billionaires at FDR rates— just billionaires, even; multi-millionaires could skate— a lot of things sure would be "suddenly" and "inexplicably" cheaper. Sure is nice to dream.
