apparently "pro-life" is fine with killing women

@br00t4c

another Constitution denier

Why do we assume that it is the height of virtue to be "hard-working"? Certainly it is good to uphold one's responsibilities. But does extra labor make one more deserving , give ready excuse for activities that not accommodated due to the extra given to that hard work? Whatever that work may consist of? Hard work trumps loving kindness or easy-going goodwill or all or the kinds of play that leads to discovery or artistic imaginings or camaraderie or taking joy in life?

If #Ukraine Loses the #War
When #Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, much of the world rallied to Kyiv’s cause. But today, Western aid is not getting to the front lines fast enough and Ukraine is closer than ever to defeat. What happens if Russia wins the war? Then, we'll take you inside one of Lebanon's largest Palestinian refugee camps, as a prominent relief organization struggles to find funding amid controversy.

for a great many decades I have used "Men's" room when the "Ladies" line was too long and never had even a strange look

@bmacDonald94

how about we allow children to learn that the world is full of people of a great variety to go out there and find out about?

Insanity reigns supreme.
Madness is loose in the world.
Sing, carouse, shout and scream.
Dare to flout the crowd, make a scene.
And laugh and cry all when and why
lose meaning.
Pure being.
No regret.
Marvel at the part you play
when all our egos slip away
to come full circle one last day — eternity.
How it is is not to say
or all our knowledge slips away
of what we are and what we stay
eternally.
Madness is loose in the world.
Insanity reigns supreme!
It’s only what you feel in a dream.

Israelis ought to have been doing targeted eliminations, not these massive civilian murders

Don't panic
though the world-eating fog
encroaches
miasma
rotting from lung to core
it is not worth panicking
gasping for something clean
to inhale, to cure
cancerous, leprotic release
ooze gently
into nothingness
no trace of panic
or ill will
around which to coalesce
seeds of fear, malice
let all pain bleed off
into airless mist
devoid of restless thrashing
sinking bit by bit
into silence
now, wasn't that easy?
slowly, without emotion
watch the fog roll by
easing into serene skies

The incident raised serious concerns inside the Israeli government and sent officials scrambling "...

because why take that extra interest income from the big lenders?

well, Tom Cotton has always been a freak, so projection

FRONTLINE #video #transcript

Documenting #Police Use of #Force

"FRONTLINE and The Associated Press investigate deaths that occurred after police used tactics like prone restraint and other “less-lethal force.” The documentary and accompanying reporting draw on police records, autopsy reports and body cam footage, and the most expansive tally of such deaths nationwide."

RITUAL

Ritual gives form to meaning
(every wiseman’s son doth know).
Every act from which we’re gleaning,
Every sack that we must sow
Gives rise to tides that make us wise;
Gives humor chance for binding wounds.
Does good these ancient weary eyes
To dance abandoned round the moon.

yes, antisemitism is bad, but how about condemning mass murder as well
