The US Is Dumping Elderly Migrants in Mexico Without ID, Money or Phones - Truthdig

After living in the U.S. for decades, vulnerable, sick deportees are sleeping on sidewalks and dying in a country they don’t know.

@petergleick The House just introduced articles of impeachment. https://www.congress.gov/119/bills/hres1155/BILLS-119hres1155ih.pdf

Contact your reps and get them on board if they are not:

Some women seem to think any guy who replies is a reply guy. This irritates me far more than it should but it strikes at my core weakness: I desperately want people (not just women) to like me.
And then if they do, I have no idea how to deal with that. But that's a different story.

Ik zou graag de volgende namen willen nomineren voor een storm:

Aleksandra naar Aleksandra Skochilenko
Mahsa naar Mahsa Amini en
Sari naar Sari Bashi

Alledrie vrouwen die door soms kleine acties grote betekenis geven aan het verzet tegen het regime waarin ze leven.

I wrote something about how I had been the target of an anti-gay thing on a Singaporean subreddit. In September last year a bunch of people (led by a Singaporean school teacher) told everyone to search my social media posts to report anything anti-Republican to ICE

My piece is less about the specifics about that incident but more about how I feel, as a person who has been out online for the last 22 years, that the climate has changed (the homophobia never really went away but was just less public, briefly)

And also about increasing homophobia, transphobia around the world.

Not sure where I’ll publish it. Will welcome ideas for any online or other publication.

The museum in Reggio Calabria probably used Google Translate on some of their info placards; one of them said that the coins on display were "jokes from 300 BC". The Italian text read "battute a partire da 300 a.C."
Battute is the past tense of battere, to strike; it is however also the plural of una battuta, a joke.

Yesterday in the National Museum in Reggio Calabria I found myself wondering how a people from 7500-8000 years ago came up with geometric shapes to decorate their earthenware with. @mrundkvist
