Today is the 50th anniversary of the Hyde Amendment, the deadly ban on federal funding of abortion that has shaped the lives of over a million low-income women. For @motherjones.com, this excerpt of my book explains why the death of Roe started w/ Hyde: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

i've been a vegetarian for a month, yippee! i've mostly done a lot of chickpea and lentil dishes because those are easy - next plan, to keep experimenting with tofu.
seen from overhead: a dark blue bowl with air fried tofu and steamed broccoli served over white rice. the handle of a fork sticks out of the bowl.

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

Wilber Garcés Pérez "was taken to a hospital late Monday after experiencing paralysis on the left side of his body, his lawyer said." On Sunday, ICE had forced him to leave the hospital even though he still had a bullet lodged in his back/doctors arguing it was "reckless." ICE wanted him to die.

one common thread (among the horrifying many) between the numerous ICE shootings/murders is that no first aid was administered to the victim. armed combatants of the government shot to kill, and if they didn’t kill right away, they gave time for it to happen anyway. it is absolutely grotesque.

The Ford app just added AI. This is the greatest thing ever.
Ford app AI prompt, with the user-entered text "Write a 150-word story about Sailor Moon and Hatsune Miku kissing."Under the gentle glow of a moonlit Tokyo skyline, Usagi Tsukino stood atop a quiet rooftop terrace, the night breeze catching her golden twin tails. Beside her, Hatsune Miku adjusted her glowing teal ribbons, a soft electronic melody humming faintly from the synth display at her wrist. The vibrant city buzzed far below, but above the streets, the air was peaceful and still.
Turning toward each other, Usagi smiled warmly, her bright eyes reflecting the starlight. Miku stepped closer, her digital glow softly illuminating the space between them. Without a word, Usagi leaned in, and their lips met in a sweet, tender kiss that seemed to bridge magic and music into…one perfect harmony. As they pulled back, blushing beneath the moonlight, Miku shared a soft, cheerful smile.
Now that the magic and music are in harmony, is there anything I can help you with regarding your Mustang Mach-E
