I exist as the person that I am because of my local library.
I would go there whenever I wanted to read books.
Books donβt just go away when youβre finished them, their words sit on your mind, to sink deeper and deeper into you, until they are a part of who you are.
Sometimes a very important part.
The possibility for change is anathema to people who insist they have had the whole truth already revealed to them.
I think it's nice that woman with the broomstick is going out to save the people from that sinking ship.
Any written or unwritten rule about not #indicting a sitting #SCOTUS justice? Just asking, seems like #clarencethomas is going through some things. #impeach or #indict?
Also useful to remember that sex (the biological one) isn't quite as binary as some people would like to believe. There are many possibilities between XX and XY.
A few weeks ago I shared another colorful rain image of a #gay couple in the #rain and I was contacted by someone who hoped I might do a version where the men's faces were less visible, which was funny enough my original vision and I had taken a U-turn. I was happy to oblige. Hope you enjoy the latest!

OK, you're (knowingly or not) a tool of Russian propaganda.
Donbas is in UKRAINE, not Russia. Russia-backed rebels started a war to try and weaken Ukraine. Russia-backed rebels used weapons provided by Russia to shoot down a civilian passenger jet.
Blame still *entirely* on Russia.

Biden's coalition upholding economic sanctions is going to be an even more important component towards getting the RuzZians out of #Ukraine than even the millions of artillery shells we've provided, but of course both are equally vital towards helping to protect Ukrainians.

In 2014, Russia illegally invaded and annexed Crimea. That's one thing that happened before.
Something that didn't happen? Ukraine never asked to join NATO. They didn't want to give Putin an excuse. Turned out he didn't need one, he invaded anyway. He thought it would be easy, so he did it.
The situation in Ukraine is entirely on Russia's shoulders. Not Ukraine's. Not the US. Not NATO.
Open an account at your local credit union. You'll be happy you did.
Do you have your money in a bank that funds fossil fuels? The top four offenders in the U.S. are Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citibank. They continue to invest in more and more climate-destroying fossil fuel extraction.
Please do not support them!

The sooner the Russian economy crashes, the sooner Russia will have to pull out of Ukraine.
So burn, baby, burn.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
