Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Per UC Davis's Roger Bales: 100 miles of paneled canals could save 11,000 households’ worth of water & generate 330 to 14,000 megawatts of electricity. That's enough to power 77,000 to 304,000 households. Shaded canals also have less algae & weed growth, reduce maintenance, & improve water quality.

The media talks endlessly about gas prices, but coverage of the damage being done to our reserves is treated as an afterthought. Meanwhile, we are ABSORBING the energy crisis by CONSUMING the system's emergency cushion. Trump's appetite for chaos and destruction is bottomless, but oil is finite.

Jane Fonda’s tribute to Dolly is perfect.
janefonda
I am devastated. I just learned that Dolly has moved on. I know that millions are mourning and I want to say this - more than anyone I have ever known, Dolly will always be with us because she was so present, so powerful, so generous and playful that she is woven into all our lives and hearts forever. We have our memories of her, her songs, Dollywood, "9to5," the millions of books she got into the hands of children, all the iconic images that bring her to us. And they are all blessings. Let's be grateful for all that she has left us to ease our sadness now. I never knew anyone like her. She was simultaneously a naughty, playful southern gal from the hollows of
Tennessee and a deep, soulful thinker who could see through people right down to their true selves. She was many things...lyricist, songstress, player of many instruments, writer, prankster, visionary, loyal friend, who'd never go to bed before she and her friends had laughed so hard
they'd have to cross their legs.
She had a survivor's instinct and seemed to always know just what to do, just what to say, to make things right....and then she's stick her butt out the car window and moon Kenny Roger's home. She was the voluptuous embodiment of empathy. That's something of hers she'd want us all to take with us.
To her gay and trans fans, I want you to know that she loved you. You know that without me telling you. She loved all her fans and they are legion. And you know she doesn't want y'all to mourn now. Dress up and celebrate her spirit. But first, watch the final episode of Grace and Frankie where she's an Angel, the head honcho working class angel in Heaven.
RIP, beautiful woman. We love you.

#ResistanceRoots John Neal was born on this day in 1793 in Portland, Maine. He was a passionate man who broke new ground in American art and literature. He was also a feminist, fitness enthusiast and advocate for racial equality at a time when those concepts were considered insanely radical. /1
Drawing of John Neal, 1856. Neal was a prolific writer, editor and critic and the first person to deliver a major lecture on women’s rights. He was also a staunch abolitionist who demanded equal rights for Black Americans and a vocal advocate for Indigenous rights. He was the crucial, chaotic catalyst who cleared the path so that modern American literature, physical fitness and civil rights could exist. He didn’t do it by building harmonious coalitions. He did it by launching such loud and logically inescapable arguments that he forced his critics to engage with his ideas, even if their immediate reaction was to yell back at him. By acting as the lightning rod for public outrage, he made radical ideas become familiar.
