  1. Adrienne Rich named heterosexuality as an institution — not a default — in 1980. Forty-six years before a pastor tried to call its opposite a pathogen. Freddie Mercury filled stadiums as a queer man who refused to be made smaller. We hold their names like tools.

  7. Was watching Democracy Docket, w smart guests. Two things:
    1) The #Callais decision is for minority representation what the #DredScott decision was for citizenship & due process (so #Congress passed the 14th, 15th #Amendments). The fix here is a slog.
    2) Marc Elias predicts GOP attacking white districts if represented by a minority. They'll claim that SCOTUS has backed them up, which is true.

  15. So.... why is it nobody in Congress understands that rather than cutting all good things for "We the People" for war & profit costs, there IS an option to (further) cutting costs, and that is to bring in some revenue from those bursting in excess money?

  21. On a positive note. It is nice to see a diversity of women continuing to be a strong part of the Liberal Party caucus of MPs.

    All three MPs elected in the by-elections on Monday were women, two POC including Doly Begum who was previously an Ontario NDP MPP and deputy leader of that party.

  26. In a post from 2024, I made a point on the insufficiency of language to faithfully render an image from a prompt. In this example, I wanted it to depict a specific woman and dog oriented to a tree in a forest. Although me endeavour was unsuccessful, it made my point.
