DeSantis’ presidential campaign may be short-lived as popularity nosedives: columnist - Raw Story - Celebrating 19 Years of Independent Journalism rawstory.com/desantis-26604953

β€œPut pebbles in your birdbath so that bees and other insects can drink”, I was told. Today I got visual confirmation of this.

This kept me busy for a moment. Fascinating #illusion, source unknown.

saying that people in the carbon-neutral future are going to have to be poor because they'll consume less of what we consume now is like saying my family must be poor now because we consume so little whale oil

Florida MAGA Gov Desantis is signing HB 7 to "ban teachers from making students feel guilt or shame about their race because of historical events."

I've said this before.

Some white Americans were abolitionists, and many were enslavers. If learning about America's history of racism makes you feel guilty, then you need to explain why you associate more with enslaver guilt than with abolitionist pride.

Might just be that you're telling on yourself.

I do that at work in meetings. They'll start wandering off the topic - or worse, the whole meeting could have been an email - and I have no problem reining it back in.
A customer sent an email with questions about a current contract. The Systems Engineer sent out a meeting invite for next week, to "get on the same page", then forwarded us the email. It was basic stuff, just needed answers. I answered, customer is happy. SE canceled the meeting.
Winning!

@ScottSoCal @Dingsextrem @AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic I have definitely gotten something similar to this for being an atheist! And bisexual. And chronically ill. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« It still sounds impossibly ignorant and weird.

"i am Jewish!" - "Oh, you don't seem Jewish, you come across well"
"i am Black!" - "Oh, you don't seem Black, you come across well"
"i am an atheist!" - "Oh, you don't seem like an atheist, you come across well"

@AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic "i am a man!" - "Oh, you don't seem like a man, you come across well"
"I'm an academic" - "You don't seem like an academic, you come across well"
"I'm a good cook!" - "You don't seem like a good cook, you come across well"
...

I owe you all the deepest and sincerest apology. It has been brought to my attention that my facts are enabling fascism and destroying democracy. I am especially sorry for the harmful facts stating that:

-Every month is National Potato Month.
-George W. Bush has a Foo Fighters tattoo on his back.
-Optimus Prime is the only heterosexual Transformer.
-The Lord of the Rings was filmed in New York City.
-Cher’s full name is Chernobyl.

I pray that you can all find it in your hearts to forgive me.

I can't feel your love for the sinner when all you do is throw your hatred for the sin in my face.

And "sin"? Really? WTF is that, anyway? Your imaginary friend gets his panties bunched because he doesn't like what I do with another consenting adult?

Did any of my #ActuallyAutistic comrades grow up misunderstood, bullied, and rejected in an insular religious community?

I’ve been there. Many of us here have been too. You’re not alone.
