I just don't have the energy to argue about how completely fucked up this post is.
They're not just willing to throw it under the bus, they're actively working on it. They want a country where the GQP can't lose, because they make all the rules.
NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT π€¬
Donald Trump was indicted on 37 Federal charges against the people of the United States.
His GOP competitors response - Stop picking on Donald..Whatabout Joe...Whatabout Hillary?
This Trump ass-kissing BS confirms that today's Republican party doesn't give a shit about this country.
They are so worried about losing a Trumper's trust that they are willing to throw our DEMOCRACY under the bus - SHAMEFUL & NAUSEATING to the CORE

I found Bible passage I didn't know existed. It seems to be ignored these days, so I thought I'd share (disclaimer: I am not a #Christian):
"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, NOR IS THERE MALE AND FEMALE, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
~ Galatians 3:28
@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic Try Headspace app? There's a free trial. Breathing, guided meditations. It doesn't take a lot of time. Worth a try when you have so much on your plate.
Wishing you well.
Probably not a good idea for me and where I work. π
@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic is βdrugsβ considered a Wrong Answer?
Favorite follow-up when someone asks me if I believe in god: "Which one?"
@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic I would try to find an alternative that hits a similar button. Example, if movement helps, maybe some upper-body dancing or stretching? #JustAThought
I love how they've set things up so you have to be functional and get everything filled out and submitted in order to get the treatment so you can be functional.
The Tor/Forge blog has the first chapter of my upcoming novel Start Villain, you know, in case such things excite you

My favorite bit of music, of all time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2S1I_ien6A
πΆ We can use one more music hashtag on Mondays, right? I was thinking #SymphonicMonday. Anything symphonic/orchestral or using classical instruments goes, no weekly themes. Just post something you like. I'm sure there are artists of all genres that use symphonic elements sometimes, or even an orchestra at a concert. And of course there is symphonic metal/rock, classical symphonies, movie or video game soundtracks and orchestras doing covers of popular songs. πΆ
My first choice is in the reply.
What with the leg, the crutches, the inundated e-mail inbox this morning, the frantic voicemails demanding that this, that, and the other thing must be done by last week...
I'm headed for a meltdown. And I can't walk it off, because I can't walk. What do you do when your coping mechanism is broken?
What goes up must come down. End Putin's murder! #StandWithUkraine
Ukrainian military "downed" another enemy Ka-52 "Alligator," β General Staff.
Since the beginning of the large-scale invasion, the Russian Federation has lost 35 "Alligators" in Ukraine, according to data from the Oryx project.
One of my favourite artists Atarin Raposo De Campos (AKA Pastelove), and a body positivity activist reached out to me and asked to paint one of my photos. I can't explain how much joy that sparks in me to be painted by this amazing artist.

What color were Neandertals?
Even with whole genomes, scientists can't say very precisely what pattern of skin, hair, and eye pigmentation was in ancient populations like the Neandertals.
(A collage of Neandertal faces as imagined by artists and exhibited in museums during the genome era.)

Iβm going to keep repeating this - calling right-wing extremists who are armed, organized, and threatening violence, βmilitiasβ works to their goal of establishing legitimacy. They are terrorists. Call. Them. Out.
And if youβre in media and calling them βmilitiasβ, but refer to Daesh, ISIS, Al-Qaida, or the Taliban as βterroristsβ, you should really think about why that is and the bias that youβre internalizing in your work.
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.
