Trans kiddos need only to be loved and affirmed, they need us to come together to bring safe and affirming communities for them to reality, trans kiddos need decision makers to protect and defend them, trans youth need only ever know what it is to be their most true, authentic, and affirmed selves.

Layoffs 

I wish when an executive said they took full responsibility for layoffs, they meant that they were cutting their pay by 1/2 or stepping down. Not having a big, hard feeling.

t.me/liveukraine_eng/4065 βš οΈπŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺGermany has provided Ukraine with another military aid package, according to an updated list on the government's website.
It was sent to Ukraine:
πŸ“20 missile systems of 70 mm caliber on pickup trucks with missiles;
πŸ“30 drone detection systems;
πŸ“8 reconnaissance drones;
πŸ“7 tracked and remotely operated infantry vehicles for support missions;
πŸ“63 pickup trucks;

i simply do not understand why people have such strong support for #Ukraine but there is so little support for #Palestine

isn't #Israel doing the exact same thing as #Russia?

can someone please explain the difference between the two situations?

@pinkyfloyd
The situation between Israel and Palestine is more complicated.
Ukraine did nothing, Russia invaded and is committing atrocities. That's very clear-cut.
Palestine and Israel have a decades long history of attacks on each other, alternately escalating and de-escalating over the years. It's much harder to point to the good guys and the bad guys, because there's some of each on both sides.
That doesn't even get into the whole quagmire of whether criticism of Israel is antisemitic.

Santos Day could be the day we all say whatever we want.
For example, I wrote the Bill of Rights in the US Constitution. I didn't accept any credit for it, because I'm modest like that, but the whole thing was my idea.

Sometimes I go to restaurants and pretend it’s my birthday so they put a free dessert on or something

I call it a Santos

In case anyone wondered about this image used on Mvskoke.social

This is a digital reproduction of a historical site in Georgia known as Okmulgee. Mvskoke ancestors built large earthen mounds at Okmulgee and lived there long before Europeans arrived in North America.

The funny thing is, they love her outdoor cage. I have a big stainless steel cage I thought might be nice for her to get sunshine. With avian flu, I stopped using it, but the sparrows and finches love it. If something scary (crows, hawks, whatever) flies over the feeder, they dart into the cage, because they can fit between the bars. Stay there until scary thing is gone, then back to the feeder.

So reckless that The New York Times would do this.

It's not "diversity of opinion." It's promoting hate against families, children.

So expected that the New York Times would do this.

I ended my subscription when they decided to do an in-depth analysis of Nazis. Literal, self-identified Nazis.

Kevin McCarthy is reminding us: You can NOT appease fascists! After Jan 6, McCarthy slammed Trump. But 2 weeks later he was at Mar-a-Lago groveling to Trump. McCarthy could've done right thing for America, instead he picked MAGA and lost! He DESERVES IT! My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/
