i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

My teen came home from school rage-crying. A friend of hers — whose parents are unsupportive bigots — had gone to live with “more supportive” grandparents. They’ve just learned she was then shipped to a conversion therapy camp in Nevada.

Where is the ballyhooed life ruining I hear so much about? You know, where we can’t possibly deal with sexual assault (on campus or anywhere else) because it will RUIN men’s lives? Well, I have a proposal. Stick with me.

Yup. Also it creates a permission structure — letting men feel spiritually powerful when they abuse women and children. That’s not a violent fucking felony, it’s ‘muscular Christianity’!

Fucking thank you. It's time for the patriarchy to stop gaslighting society about rape culture. Rape culture is the law of the land. Men in college gang rape all the time & it's an open secret on campus & the victim is a shunned pariah. Rape is the rule from the highest halls of power to the gutter.

I see you, Ivory. I, too, sleep with a pillow between my legs to keep my hips aligned. #CatsOfBlueSky

A black cat and a white cat are curled up napping atop a tangle of beige and gray blankets.

They are curling towards each other and the white cat has fully extended his back leg across the body of his brother, using him as a leg pillow.

Had to frog a week’s worth of knitting (booooo!) 🧶 Clearly, bottom-up knitting (esp: w/ a stitch pattern) is not for me. Ebony, however, enjoyed nesting in (and tangling) the yarn. Here he is sulk-napping after I rudely disentangled him

Behold! A sulking black hole.

A black cat is curled in a ball napping. He is facing to the left with his ear in the 12:00 o’clock position.
He is draped with a mess of rosy-mauve yarn that was just ripped back from my knitting.

The trellis-pattern vest-to-be sits next to him.

The Trump administration accused Jefferson County schools of having 61 "biological males" on girls teams. It turns out there were 0, and no trans girls either. They have to manufacture problems that don't exist.

Screenshot of article text against a dark background reading:
"In March, the administration announced that Jeffco had violated federal nondiscrimination laws by allowing students access to restrooms, locker rooms and sports teams based on their gender identity instead of biological sex. A key data point was that 61 boys were participating on girls' athletic teams. The figure startled even district officials, mostly because, they said, there were no transgender girls competing on girls' teams.
The district said the Trump administration had misinterpreted the information. Though the records show male participants on girls' teams, they were team managers and mascots, not athletes. District officials said the federal government also may have confused a cross-country roster in which the same coach oversees separate programs for boys and girls."

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

🧵The @sfchronicle.com has a lengthy dive with strong reporting on medical treatment of detainees by ICE. Or, I should say, lack of treatment. To add insult to injury, ICE is stiffing providers and billing detainees for their treatment on release, routing for collections if they don't pay.

Rodrigo, green card holder, was improperly detained by ICE and received no medication for his throat tumor, which is impinging on his vocal cords and caused a brain aneurysm.
