It's beginning to dawn on folks that abortion rights were just the first human rights to go under right-wing control of our top political offices, especially the courts.

Gay rights are in the Republican extremists' crosshairs. So is birth control. So is freedom of expression, and so much more.

The right wing never bought into civil rights in the first place.

Maybe Big Journalism will notice this with more than passing interest, but they'd have to wake up first.

Back in NYC i got some temporary body art known as henna. It lasted for a couple of weeks.
Don't think i'm up to having tattoos, but this - this i like.

It is important to note that, according to Russian law, the list of such places should have been approved long ago, but the information is being requested to be clarified because of a new "letter from the Russian Ministry of Culture."

Museum administrations have been given until 1 July this year to respond.
Another point in the letter states that at least some of the cultural and historical monuments will be taken outside the peninsula.

The letter was not published by the National Resistance Center, even though they have it, due to "sensitive information."

The Russians are trying to speed up the process of typification and evaluation of museum artefacts in Crimea. Museum workers are creating electronic registers of works of art and historical monuments and transferring information to the Russian electronic museum fund.

The letter was signed by Andrei Rostenko, the so-called deputy minister of culture of Crimea. He is the former head of the occupation administration of the city of Yalta in Crimea. Earlier, there was information about the start of the evacuation of military families from Crimea.

Recently, Ukrainian military said it has destroyed three Russian surface-to-air missile systems in Russian-occupied Crimea. Analysts believe it's only a matter of time before Kyiv might attack another vital target in Crimea: the bridge linking the occupied peninsula to the Russian mainland.

i’m sorry but vampire babies are just too fucking adorable

Very foggy morning in #Monterey #California #CaWx

Today will be a good day for the tourist sweatshirt vendors in town.

In related news, I need to get a bite guard before I grind my teeth down into stumps, so I got a 3-D scan of my teeth and the lady doing the scan told me I have nice teeth and I said "Thanks! Your coworker just cleaned them!" because I’m an absolute weirdo so now I can never go back.

Planning on attending another nearby #pride2024 celebration tomorrow afternoon. It's about an hour's drive each way, and runs from noon until 10pm. I'm hopeful that I will have the requisite #spoons in order to go the day.

Last time, the crowds didn't overwhelm me, which I was pleased by. I assume that had a lot to to do with being around my tribe.

@actuallyautistic #actuallyautistic Does it bother anyone else when someone folds your laundry for you? I do appreciate the effort and the intention, but half the time I have to go back and refold everything because it wasn’t folded the way I need it to be for me to put it away or organize it properly. I would rather just do all the folding myself lol. Idk, I know that probably seems selfish but it does irk me sometimes.

Quote of the day...

"Everything looks like a conspiracy if you don't understand how anything works."

Hey, so I made an online course to teach absolute beginners the basics of HTML/CSS. I’m so gosh-darned proud of it — and the three years I spent putting it together. I put a lot of myself in there to make it the sort of welcome mat into front-end development that we need to get more folks coding.

Now, I’m also super shy about sharing stuff like this. But I’d really love for you to check it out and pass it along to those who need that welcoming path into the front end.
