I keep seeing people talk about the movie, Digger, getting super excited thinking, "Yes! They've filmed @tkingfisher.com...!" Then seeing Tom Cruise mentioned, and experiencing the letdown all over again. This has happened at least 4 times already. You'd think I'd remember after the first 1 or 2...

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.

Here's one of my cat propaganda posters. If you like what you see please follow me here for more and visit my print shop at nathannunart.etsy.com - Thank You, Cats of Yore.
A cat poster done in the style of a mid-20th-century communist propaganda poster. A line of three cat faces face left in unison. Below them is a large crowd of cats marching. They represent various kinds of cats, ages, and jobs. The background is a large red flag. Text at bottom reads: The purrletarians have nothing to lose but their collars. They have a world to win. Workers of the world, Unite!"

Donald doesn't seem to understand the concept that building a military complex on top of a ballroom makes said ballroom a legitimate military target. He's basically using everyone who comes to events in said nonexistent ballroom into human shields, which, last I checked, is a war crime.

We're seven months into losing a war that costs $100 million/day in military outlays and raised the price of gas $1.5/gallon. All we have to show for it is more radical Iranian leadership and a blown up school. "Just warriors" isn't working, bring all those other people back and put them in charge.

ICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport. She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury. It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players. They have failed.
Aminata Seck, 26, a student-athlete at Kentucky State University, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport while traveling with her school's basketball team Aug. 7, said Sadiqa Reynolds, a lawyer helping coordinate Seck's case.

Seck's team was headed to New York for a tournament, and she was taken into custody after going through airport security, said Reynolds, former president and CEO of the Louisville Urban League.
