I used to care about a lot of things. Now, just mostly football.
"Nobody wants to work anymore" is a thing employers say when they're unwilling to pay a fair wage and provide safe working conditions.

If there's one lesson I could get all the nice liberals to take from the last few months, it's that being even a little bit supportive of marginalized people will cause the worst people in the world to self select out of your spaces. They'll do it loudly and try to make it maximally uncomfortable for the nice liberals, but then they'll be gone and your spaces will be so much nicer.
@ohiorob @stux let it be known that ever since I migrated from the birdsite, I've never felt safer on any other social media platform than I do here. Sprinkle the right amount of science unto my safety and as a woman it means to me more than winning the lottery.
Women and #WomeninScience, just want to be safe and heard. Thank you, FediFam!

Joe Biden found govt docs and returned them.

Mike Pence found govt docs and returned them.

Donald Trump stole govt docs, refused to return them, lied about what he had, moved them to hide them from authorities, evaded subpoenas, showed them off, and covered up what he did.

The White House is to hold a #Juneteenth concert next Tuesday.

Sometimes when I'm trying to reach a human for customer service, and the system won't route me to a person if I use the typical techniques (multiple zero presses, saying "agent", not saying anything through multiple timeouts, etc.), I use the "mystery language" technique to some considerable success:

SYS: I cannot connect you to anyone if you do not explain to me the nature of your problem.

ME: Dasbuton terra masiqu! Bashro normani grikkola-ban-nano!

SYS: I'm not sure I understand you, will you please repeat that?

ME: Dasbuton terra masiqu!!!! BASHRO normani grikkola-ban-NANO!!!!

SYS: Please hold while I transfer you to a customer service agent.

All-time celly, all-time call.

I attended an interfaith event last Friday & the evangelical pastor lamented to me,"America's lost her way because we've forgotten Jesus."

I responded, "As a Muslim I love Jesus too—but when exactly would you say America 'followed' Jesus? Was it during Native Genocide? Slavery? Jim Crow? Denying women equal rights? While invading Iraq?”

Deafening silence.

If you want to show me your faith, first show me your service to ALL humanity—regardless of faith or no faith. B/c faith w/o works is dead.
