https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/17/media/dominion-fox-news-allegations Fuck Fox. Fuck the all. Take the Murdock family and deport the assholes back to Australia.

A little-known European medical team is poised to become one of the most important groups in the shifting landscape of U.S. #abortion bans.

@rebeccabguinn I don’t even understand what you’re saying. Acceptance but only on your terms ? Doesn’t work that way.

Once again, the right started this. Trans people want and deserve rights like medical care. The right is trying to take them away and scapegoat them. You’re also scapegoating them. Please stop. The voting population’s feelings are not the most important issue here, either. We can lead change. Come on.

"In World War II, I don't think anybody in the UK said we need to stop the war because it's costing us money.

Why should we say that in the most serious conflict on European soil since 1945?"

I cannot express how much I love this.

The proliferation of mass murders with guns proves Republicans are neither thinking nor praying.

@suing_god
Not thinking when he made humans...and that's why I don't believe in God...

Proud of myself for speaking up in the meeting to explain why sending reply all style emails detailing acts of hate witnessed at work is a bad idea. It's triggering! The whole point is that I don't want to be exposed to hate! Stop doing the haters job for them. #PTSD #LGBTQ

A Nigerian living in the UK has "discovered" a new lake and named it Iyi Ojemba.

Mazi Uba Acho, a native of Igbo Naton in W Africa, highlighted the absurdity of the colonialist mindset that sought to claim discovery of places already known to locals. He cited Mungo Park's claim to the River Niger in Nigeria and David Livingstone's claim to the Zambezi River, Zambia, and Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

Today my hospital has ended masking requirements. Next week I'm scheduled for an educational program mandatory for all doctors on staff entitled "Foundations of Safety Training." Something looks wrong here.

What! Another hummingbird pic?

I actually wanted to post a picture I took today of two hummingbirds. But then I snapped this one that really shows of the iridescent feathers. I'm not sure about the sex, the dark area on could be markings or a young male or it could be just shadow. I'm going with young male, feel free to correct if you know better.

#introduction

Living car-free in a beautiful small city in the American Midwest.

Have visited 40+ countries, and have lived in four, but tend to stay closer to home these days. Still interested in learning about other places.

Also love: music; architecture; the outdoors; baked goods; coffee/tea/hot chocolate; your adorable pets and other animals; woodblock prints and other art; and this planet that we all need to take better care of.

Someone in my dentist's office has bathed in perfume. It reeks in here. Attack of the designer imposters.

@hannu_ikonen I can only imagine.

I'm in an incredibly privileged position- I'm LGBTQ, but cis and gay (which isn't always obvious for homophobes), in a blue state, and I don't have to deal with things getting worse that much yet (my family is...well, at least they pretend to listen sometimes). And I'm a ball of nerves a lot of the time, trying to do what I can to help, and mitigate fallout. For those less fortunate...
