1. Fascists know that many of their stances are hypocritical. They believe in do as I say, not as I do. Their supporters don’t care.

2. Fascists know that their viewpoints aren’t supported by evidence, data, science or anything objective. They don’t care, because it’s not about truth, it’s about harm. Their supporters want that harm.

3. This is not Democrats vs Republicans. This is not red states vs blue states (that’s not a real thing anyway). This is white supremacy vs everybody else.

Everybody's worried the fascists are going to win the game, when the real concern is that they're trying to blow up the stadium.
Nothing like being woken up by one of your kids at 2:52am with them asking, "Is the front door supposed to be open?"

Reminder that if you're feeling lonely today, see this hashtag:

➡️ #JoinIn

There are lots of people (myself included) keeping each other company on there, with all kinds of posts from hot chocolate recipes to historical photos to horses covered in tinsel to just general thoughts and chatter.

You can use the hashtag however you want, serious or fun, and anyone using the tag is welcoming of replies and discussion so it's a great way of striking up a conversation.

See you there! ☃️

I ran out to the backyard yesterday to quickly trim back some roses that were getting pummeled in the high winds and heard a weird noise behind me...

As the years pass, the last witnesses to the nightmare of Auschwitz are passing away.

What remains is the historical site itself, and the objects within it that allow historians & conservators to learn the stories of individuals.

Listen to podcasts created by Bartosz Panek and Jarosław Kociszewski from New Eastern Europe. They invited historians @auschwitzmuseum to talk about different aspects of the history of Auschwitz: https://neweasterneurope.eu/2022/11/23/auschwitz-birkenau-death-at-a-wave-of-a-finger/

Auschwitz-Birkenau. Death at a wave of a finger - New Eastern Europe - A bimonthly news magazine dedicated to Central and Eastern European affairs

As the years pass, the last witnesses to the nightmare of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the death factory where more than a million Jews from all over Europe were exterminated, are passing away. What remains is the camp itself, and the objects within it that allow historians and conservationists to learn the stories of individuals. Their stories not only help to understand the tragedy of the victims who were exterminated here, but add a human, personal dimension to these memories.

This quote by Carl Sagan hangs in my office. #science

Really bizarre dream last night and all I can remember is someone saying, "The ocean is a sentient being."

Not sure if it's a message from the future or a writing prompt.

For folks who were alive in the 1980s or 1990s, whenever you hear a politician like Ron DeSantis refer to "woke gender ideology" just swap in the old phrase "homosexual agenda" and you'll get a clear picture of what he's up to.
