One of my friends is having real troubles. If you feel moved to contribute to her cause (she's a dyed-in-the-wool liberal, for sure) then please visit her GoFundMe at gofund.me/3d0c63f52. No pressure, but thank you so much!

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

I'm sorry that's happening to you and others. It's a complex situation and one that no one here can do much about except at the highest levels of government. Certainly you are not responsible for it. Logically, the offending leftists are more responsible for Trump than you are for Netanyahu.

Sometimes bibliography looks like this, and by extension, rare book cataloging. 4 OCLC records, 3 secondary sources, flashlight for watermarks, etc: all to determine that our copy of “Cryes of London” is from 1689, from the fifth edition, first impression: 📜 #bookhistory #booksky #libsky #rarebooks
A messy desk strewn with books and notes, with a rare book in a cradle in the center.

I think of my old psych professor who told us “some things you never get over, you just get through. “ We may not ever get over that this catastrophic regime, but we will get through it. Only together can we do this.

Every time you complain about DEI
you demonstrate why it was originally necessary
and why it is still necessary now.
Inside your head
(and only inside your head)
women are weak and emotional
minorities are stupid and unqualified
disabled people are leeches and loafers.
Only white men are qualified.
Many people think like you do,
casual bigotry that dares not speak its name
and hides behind platitudes that help no one.
This is why DEI and Affirmative Action are needed:
to counter prejudices like yours
to give equal chances to everyone
even if you don’t think they deserve them.
You are the reason DEI was created.
You are the reason it is still necessary.
You are the problem personified.

You can put either of these bumper stickers on your car... "YOU'RE IN A CULT" or "HE'S INCOMPETENT, CORRUPT, AND A RAPIST." and EVERYONE will know exactly what you're talking about. Odd, huh. Best part: If they confront you... You get to ask them how they knew what it was about.

You're absolutely right. And then kids grow up just thinking there's something wrong with them, with no frame of reference about how they are beautiful, special and not the only ones of their kind.

The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

I’ve bought a ton of books because of bsky! Almost all from authors who post interesting or fun stuff here, or recommended by people who post interesting/fun stuff. Haven’t kept count but easily over 20 books discovered here alone.

Even a legal dum-dum like me knows that this is bullshit. On a separate note, I have boundless anger for each and every Trump flunky but there may be nobody I’d love to beat the living snot out of more than Homan. Repellent, arrogant scumbag in addition to being a standard Trumpy pathological liar.
