#politics A friend just posted Right wing radio host Erick Erickson just said that given the "hysterics" and "histrionics" over the draft Supreme Court vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, he is beginning to think that the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, must be repealed.
#fismansentme and I am slowly finding my way around. I was reluctant to leave the bird but feeling better about it now.
Trying to explain to my wife and friends who remember Twitter as an even more toxic place than it has been for the past couple of years why I felt disappointed to shut down my account there has been surprisingly difficult. Like, Musk will make it at least as toxic as they remember. It will become something between Gab and 8chan if users and advertisers don't stop it -- and I don't have confidence that they will. That is a shame for those of us who enjoyed its brief, better time.

11 year old daughter asked about the holocaust today. Took a drive to our local bookstore in support of #IndependentBookstoreDay and grabbed #Maus and "They called us Enemy", just to round out the notion that it's not just Germans who do concentration camps. I'm thankful to live in CA where books aren't banned due to...*checks notes*...cartoon mouse nudity. If that's the reason you're banning this excellent book from school children - get fucked.
I love to sew, am a voracious learner of a myraid of topics, and do not like collegiate humor.
