@StillIRise1963 This strikes a massive nerve. I began to question my attitudes after attending the Stephen Lawrence enquiry. And discovered a lot of stuff I’d been taught and assimilated about black people was “prejudicial” even though I was an active anti-racist since my teens. It was hard to drag all that shit out and move to the other side of the line where my sympathies were more “for” than “against” black people. Now I see the problem is more than overt racism more about our assumptions.

I know I'm a broken record, but I'm going to keep on saying it - your campfire and fireworks this weekend are not worth the chance of starting a fire in these conditions. It's hot, it's dry, it's windy, and the gorge is already burning.

It’s true. Losing one sense enhances others.
For example, you lost your sense of humor but your sense of entitlement is through the roof.

BTW I no longer include my Twitter handle in my CNN articles- only my Mastodon handle. I refuse to promote Elon Musk's Ponzi scheme. https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/03/opinions/lindsey-graham-booed-trump-rally-obeidallah

@Barbramon1 Hard right Christian groups manipulated the composition of the Court.

Now they are fabricating the cases that appear before this manipulated Court to get exactly the decisions they are looking for. John Roberts is playing right along.

The country cannot take much more of this. I don’t trust the SCOTUS to do anything to right it alone. Someone should sue the casebringers.

So let me get this straight. The Supreme Court is only supposed to take cases where there is a real injury and real controversy, but it took the case of a web designer who faked a request by a gay customer for a website design? The guy was actually straight, married and with kids?

Vacate this case.

They’re coming for birth control next: Conservative influencers, Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, Ben Shapiro, Tim Pool & others, including women, are pushing an anti-birth control message. Even SCJ Thomas wrote that the court should reconsider codifying the right to contraceptive access. Influencers coalesced in recent months around messaging that connect negative outcomes from birth control & amplify their views on social media, podcasts, radio... #BirthControl #Contraceptives https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/birth-control-side-effects-influencers-danger-rcna90492

@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic it's SO frustrating. It happens A LOT on Disney + and immediately shut down the app, also, sometimes I download the content.

I'm Autistic and ADHD (AuDHD) and when I am in a safe space, I have a tendency of nesting!
