Stop the assault on the Constitution NOW. Find your courage, IMPEACH Trump.
Text SIGN PNNLPM to 50409 — Our rights and federal agencies and democracy are being torn apart. Illegally. In contravention of the laws and statutes and constitution of the United States. The constitution you swore to support and defend. Look what Trump has been doing: Having judges arrested. Deporting children with cancer who are American citizens. Rejecting due process. Trying to overturn numerous articles and amendments of the constitution. Making illegal executive orders. Betraying our allies. Using the office of President to cash in bitcoin schemes. Usurping the rightful powers of Congress. Not just failing to see the laws faithfully executed but flouting the Supreme Court... Trying to weaponise the IRS against personal foes... announcing his resignation wish to illegally render American citizens and non citizens alike to foreign prisons. Yet these egregious abuses are only a fraction of the high crimes and misdemeanours of Trump. What will it take for you to honor your oath to the constitution and hold Trump accountable? There has been much talk about members of Congress feeling personally threatened. Please: consider the courage of our armed services and the dangers they face as they honor their oath to the constitution and serve our nation. Consider the sacrifices of those who gave their lives to defeat Naziism. Consider how Trump has backed down... to China. To Harvard. It's time for you to stand together with your colleagues now. Expose and reject threats and shakedowns. Uphold the constitution as you solemnly swore to do. Consider what history and your grandchildren will think if you fail to hand on a democracy to them, their civil rights, and right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It's time for Congress to take back its power. It's time for you to say no to threats. Unless you take action against Trump's assault on the constitution you are betraying your own oath. You will be despised by history for complicity with fascism. Please, DO YOUR JOB. IMPEACHMENT NOW.

Folks don’t think about when some folks survive these once common childhood diseases, years later there can be life-threatening or altering consequences. More than diet and lifestyle, my dad’s early death (38) from a heart attack was likely due to heart damage from rheumatic fever as a teen.

"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.

My first year doing the lights on the tree. Of course, the top half of the tree stubbornly remains unlit. Do I obsessively remove bulbs and change them out, or do I just buy a new strand? Decisions, decisions....
A Christmas tree with the top third of the lights unlit, but the star on the top shines brightly. Nearby, a young girl, ignoring the demands of her mother, stands on the arm of a couch.

At least 5 women have died due to abortion bans in Texas & Georgia—Candi Miller, Amber Thurman, Josseli Barnica, Nevaeh Crain; and now, Porsha Ngumezi. 3 victims were Black, one Latina. 2 were immigrants. One was just 18. All women are at risk—but women of color, immigrants and teens most of all.

Elon Musk just called the COVID-19 pandemic that killed at least 1.4 million Americans a “scamdemic.” My dad died during the pandemic; we weren't able to visit him in the hospital because of it. Every aspect of that horrible tragedy was real. And exacerbated by Musk’s co-POTUS. I’m seeing red. 😡

Performing acts of service has always been such a huge part of my love language. I'm so overjoyed that I have a partner who truly appreciates when I do them. Every morning during the week, coffee starts brewing at six, so it's ready in time for him to go teach the munchkins. 🧩

Let me repeat that whole quote from Crowley again: “Our sole business should be to use the Law”—not qabalah, not cosplaying the Übermensch on the internet, not magick, not O.T.O. degrees, but the motherfucking Law of Thelema—“to reconstruct the world from the chaos into which it is already half tumbled.” You can’t do this from your slogan-spouting easy chair.

this is literally what it feels like to have astigmatism
A wider field view of Westerlund 1. A dense cluster of bright stars, each with six large and two small diffraction spikes, due to the telescope’s optics. They have a variety of sizes depending on their brightness and distance from us in the cluster, and different colours reflecting different types of star. Patches of billowing red gas can be seen in and around the cluster, lit up by the stars. Small stars in the cluster blend into a background of distant stars and galaxies on black.

I keep seeing this reference to public bathrooms as women's "private spaces" and I just do not understand it. Strangers are strangers even when they're women! We're not communing in there for hours at a time, talking about perimenopause and who's getting divorced and shaving our legs.

I was talking with my therapist today about the total joy of having an autistic partner. He's the most thoughtful gift giver, managing to somehow balance both my special interests with my (arbitrary) preferences in style. Plus, we can laugh together about how terrible we both are at eye contact.
