Taliban banning women from going to school has nothing to do with Islam. (Even in Saudi women have been attending college for decades.) It's 100% about controlling women the same way GOP banning reproductive freedom in US is not about Christianity, it's about controlling women (FYI no Muslim country, except for the Taliban regime, has banned girls from getting an education. What the Taliban is doing is an insult to the principles of Islam!!)

I love how many folks here that society stigmatizes and rejects are on here finding community and celebrating each other. I dig it. Still dipping my toe in the waters for safety before I share fully me, but so far so good.

I'll get there in time.

[RT @RiegerReport]
BIDEN: The United States stands with the brave people of Ukraine, we stand with you, you've been a great leader, and ... we have a famous thing that occurs once a year, we pick the man of the year in "Time" magazine, you are the man of the year in the United States of America.

During a meeting in the Oval Office, Zelenskyy thanks Biden, Congress and the β€œordinary people” of America for their support of Ukraine. apne.ws/FSwbakD

Our Gods are practically self contained. They feed themselves, water themselves, worship themselves, you won't even have to clean their cage. They're the easiest Gods you'll ever look after, suitable for a beginner, a novice, a child, your grandmother. Try our Ancient Eldritch Gods today.

"Appreciation from my heart and the heart of Ukraine" to you and your leadership, President Zelenskyy, speaking in English, tells President Biden.

Happy times! :blobhappy: Just got 2 request from big news platforms for their /bot/ account request (the automed ones I made years ago)

Question:

Did any feathered theropods overlap enough with giant early ants to make a big ol' dinosaur giving herself an "ant bath" with giant ants a thing that happened?

@JenWojcik @talia_christine Just be careful to never say β€œHappy Holidays,” because that clearly means that you hate Christianity and want to destroy Christmas.

nice to meet all you doctors and engineers, I’m an underemployed gremlin with no car and I get all frantic if I can’t find my vape pen

Our monstera is getting huge and it’s growing tentacles and my wife says they are β€œair roots” and I don’t know that sounds like something a plant growing tentacles would tell her to say.

The U.S. will send $1.85 billion in military aid to Ukraine in a massive package that will for the first time include a Patriot missile battery and precision-guided bombs for their fighter jets, U.S. officials said Wednesday. apnews.com/article/russia-ukra

This is one of the hardest & most important warnings for us all.

Perpetrators were people who accepted and followed an ideology that made them believe that they are better than others and that rationalized and promoted hatred & evil. It became their everyday live.

They were not monsters. They were people who did horrible and monstrous things on the behalf of this ideology. And this is the scary part of the story.
