And install solar panels. The 10KW system on my roof generates more power than my house uses on sunny days, and generates power to offset my grid use even on cloudy/rainy days.

This is itβ€”plain & simple. No more fossil fuel infrastructure & it’s time to earnestly transition away from fossil fuel equipment & heating. Electrify your heating & cooling. It’s cheaper & more efficient. Switch to EVs. There are lots more than Tesla.

A Black man I talked to told me the thing that really got under his skin was the elevator doors opening and the (white) people waiting would decide they didn't really want the elevator, after all. He said it was like a slap in the face, every time.

One of the biggest propaganda wins for white supremacists was teaching kids (and everyone else) that racism is a unique and special evil, one that can only be done by evil racists or faceless passionless "systems."

It's more comfortable to think of it as a force of nature or a thing only done by Bad Guys than something almost all of us contribute to and need to be conscious of.

honestly, "so gay its illegal in russia" should be used as a selling point

(though I feel the bar for getting banned there might be very low these days)

Only because the GQP has turned "freedom of speech" into "speech, free from consequences". That was never the intent.

/3 It is a β€œfree speech culture” that irrationally lionizes the Amy Waxes of the world while incoherently policing and seeking to deter, limit, and tone-police people responding to her.
I dissent from it.

Which will bring travel dollars into Florida, bringing a win to DeSantis.
They should have held it in California.

The World Disney Resort in Florida will host the Out & Equal summit in 2024, which is said to be the largest LGBTQ+ conference in the world, with over 5000 expected attendance. The conference comes after DeSantis declared victory over Disney in February. The event brings together executives, human resource professionals, and experts in diversity, equity, and inclusion to promote equality

What’s happening in Uganda with criminalization of even *being* LGBT, with death penalties written into law for some people, should and must shock the world into action.

Hey, you know those Tiny Free Pantries that people put up to help distribute food to those in need? My mom was telling me that she had been frustrated/confused by some of the items that weren't being taken.

She started paying attention to what items lingered. For example, dried beans. No one wanted them. She took them home, added canned tomatoes, a package of seasoning, etc, and put the ingredients in a zip-top bag with a instructions to make chili. Someone snagged it immediately!

Even if you're talking strictly biological sex, there's more than two. It's not binary, it's analog, with degrees between the two poles.

This is an obvious reminder that there are MORE THAN two genders because gender is obviously a social construct.

Gender is NOT the same as sex.

Also, trans people, non-binary people and intersex people are always valid, awesome, beautiful and handsome people.

Seriously.
