In case you were wondering, the traditional order according to the Roman Catholic Church is:

June: Lesbian Pride Month
July: Gay Greed Month
August: Bisexual Lust Month
September: Trans Envy Month
October: Queer Gluttony Month
November: Intersex Wrath Month
December: Asexual Sloth Month

I had misunderstood what "Checks & Balances" meant in my civics education. Apparently it means that the balance is tipped in favor of whoever can write the biggest checks to legislators & justices.

My wife has a soft spot for Tiki bars. It's been a while since we moved up to the Portland Oregon area, and I'm going to take her to this bar/restaurant for dinner, the second oldest one in America, as a surprise. It's 75 years old. She's not on Mastodon but...don't tell her. The sign is real Americana kitsch.

I have two words to say to this radical Supreme Court: Term Limits

(Actually I have another two words to say to them, but I’ll keep them to myself.)

"The court ruled 6-3 for designer Lorie Smith despite a Colorado law that bars discrimination based on sexual orientation, race, gender and other characteristics. Smith had argued that the law violates her free speech rights."

Honestly, fuck the Supreme Court. She had no standing, had no injury and the letter she said prompted her lawsuit was fake. Her "web design company" was only hypothetical, yet they ruled for her???

Now they've destroyed anti-discrimination state laws if artists for hire are involved. FOR HIRE, AS IN RUNNING A BUSINESS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. FFS. I wonder how the definition of "artist" will now get stretched. Does "writers" include journalists working for a news site or internal newsletter?

"Whatcha looking for?"
"Robins."
"I hear those are beautiful."
"Very much so."
"Seen any?"
"Not yet."

@ScottSoCal

great! Now we have to rep0licate that 300 million times in America alone, as if it were our only job.

As if it were our only job.

Past efforts are admirable, the job to do is within our capacity, but its ALL HANDS ON DECK

They have been saying, our governments that climate collapse is decades away, a hundred years, that we can "accommodate" climate changes.

Climate collapse is HERE NOW.

WE must Build All the Renewables Needed to make carbon fuels unneeded and redundant. Build enough solar and wind tio REPLACE ALL oil and gas, everywhere, every land, right now.

We must demand it now, force it if they do not begin.

This out-of-control Supreme Court must be reformed:

— 13 justices
— single 18-year term
— binding code of ethics
— full investigation of corrupt gifts

No need, Jane. Just relax. Dick will always find you. #GoodMorning #DailyGiggle

@knitting day 5 of #knitting my #FayeSummerTop: I can actually put it on now, and it fits exactly as I had planned! I’m so happy I could cry. I joined the front and back in the round, and the ease is bang on after I spent so much time doing knitting math to make sure it would fit correctly using different needles and yarn weight than the pattern recommended. It was my first time deviating like that, but I trusted my gauge swatch, math, and most importantly my capabilities/myself, and it totally paid off!

Behold the value of Jill Stein and "protest" votes.

Which donut do you choose?

So forgiving PPP loans is capitalism — but forgiving student loans is socialism?

One of the things I love about Mastodon is that I can go on an angry political rant, make a joke about butts, talk to a very nice lady about Zucchini, chat about obscure Star Trek references, and learn about fossilized Sea Monster teeth all in the same 24 hours, in the same place.

What did you Mastodon today?

New study kills the myth of ‘Man the Hunter’ - women hunted in nearly 80% of surveyed forager societies.

Information about forager societies (allowing to reinforce the myth) mostly came from ethnographies written by 18th to 20th century white Euro-American men who visited communities and followed the local men around, often paying less attention to whatever women were doing.
