I appreciate when the families have asked people not to watch, because they don't want them to be remembered that way.
I look for articles that describe who they were, in life.
Don't put your winter clothes away! A Sudden Stratospheric Warming event is brewing right now above the Arctic.

By disrupting the polar vortex and displacing cold air into parts of Europe and N. America, SSWs can influence our weather for weeks.
There are uncertainties about their factual impacts or the link to climate change.
Yet, it is fascinating that our prediction systems, based on models and meteorological data can forecast these complex extreme weather phenomena.

I asked a co-worker if a particular prejudice of mine is sexist / racist. She didn't have an answer.
When I look for a doctor, I look for women or minorities - or both, in one package. It's harder for them to be accepted into a medical program, harder to stay in, harder to get a residency, and harder to get hired. Only the best and most dedicated make it The average woman/minority doctor just about has to be better than the average cis-white-male doctor.
Before I say what I want to say let me preface it with this...
Clout doesn't mean shit here. It's what separates this place from other social media platforms. โค๏ธAnd I love it.โค๏ธ
WITH THAT SAID...
I KNOW it doesn't matter, but there's a side of me that is just REALLY HAPPY that I now have more followers here then on ANY social media platform I'm on. Especially after years of telling people how great this place is.
Thanks to all of you.
And this will be the last you ever hear about it from me.

He hopes to one day have Hannity and Carlson mounted over his fireplace, and for the greatest prize, a rug made from Murdoch's wrinkled hide.

I can't even eat the things, but I buy 5 boxes every year, because yay Girl Scouts.
My co-workers eat them for me.
For anyone wondering how they should spend their money instead of buying a millionaire anti-trans bigot's new glitchy, antisemitic, pro-slavery video game, let me just remind you of two facts:
1. The Girl Scouts of America is openly accepting and inclusive of trans girls, and
2. It's cookie season.

Are you aware of the stats on recent elections? The last time a Republican won the vote count (as opposed to the electoral college) was 2004 - Bush the Lesser's second term. Before that is was 1988. Where would we be today if we hadn't had Trump? Or Either of the Bush presidencies?
Thinking that somehow your vote would mean less if it wasn't being overridden by the Electoral College just doesn't square with the facts.
