It's funny that people with “critical thinker” in their bio, on many sites, are the once who are being manipulated so easily

You might be forgiven for thinking of abortion as a particularly modern phenomenon. But there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that abortion has been a constant feature of social life for thousands of years.

Con is done. I did well (although not as well as last year). My wife had her best single event ever, quadrupling my sales. I'm not even jealous. Just proud of my badass artisan wife.

This sets a dangerous precedent! Public Libraries have no business creating censorship lists!

@LnzyHou It has been, but it’s also been part treasure hunt. I’m finding things that were packed away from before we moved into this house 17 years ago that I had forgotten about. Found photos from my grandfather’s youth, and old picture frames he made from old cigar boxes. Found a letter my dad wrote to the IRS in the 1960s defending his salary, which gave a wonderful personal history up to that point in his life. And big box of Day of the Dead folk art I bought in Mexico. 😊
