ps. Don't dm me unless I give you permission. I consider it uninvited attention, and the only response you will get is blocked.

I usually mean no harm, so don't assume I do.
My brain thinks .... differently. If I make a strange connection, just go with it.
Not In Our Name: Cisgender Women Against Trans Bathroom Bans

House Representative Nancy Mace and the Congressional GOP have launched a campaign of harassment not just against newly-elected trans Democrat Rep Sarah McBride of Delaware, but against all trans and nonbinary people, through a newly proposed piece of legislation called the "Protecting Women's Private Spaces" Act, which would restrict bathroom usage in all federal buildings by biological sex, forcing trans people to use bathrooms designated for a gender with which they don't identify, and which they may not present as, which dramatically increases their risk of harassment and violence. We have also seen, over the years, as these bills increase nationwide, that they don't make cis women safer either; many of us have personally experienced increased harassment in bathrooms because of how we look, or we know someone who has. Proponents of these bans continually insist that they are vital for the protection of cisgender women and girls. This makes it incredibly important for cisgender women and girls to loudly stand up and refuse to be used as a shield for this bigotry. Please share this petition with the cis women in your life to add their names (and their stories, if they wish to share them). Cis men, you can help by forwarding this and spreading the word; but the more signatures we can share from the population specifically being named in the title of this legislation, the more impact it will have. Thank you all!

Finally some good news:

The fate of #FarRight website #Infowars will be controlled by #theOnion after the satirical news site emerged as the winning bidder of Wednesday’s private auction of the #media company founded by #conspiracy theorist #AlexJones.

The Onion wins auction to take control of Alex Jones’s Infowars

The sale to the satirical news site ends Jones’s 25-year run controlling the conspiracy theorist website that peddled claims the Sandy Hook school shooting was a “hoax.”

The Washington Post
I don't understand. the people he is picking that are totally and completely incompetent for the jobs he wants them for - don't they know deep in their brains they are incompetent for these jobs? Am I missing something? The fox weekend news host for Sec Defense, was he something before that that would lead him to believe he could run that dept? Or is it the Dunning Kerning effect, he doesn't know what he doesn't know?

Good evening Squirrel Fans.

As my 57th circuit of Sol approaches I feel in my bones that Cohen (a geriatric but sprightly Barbarian) makes some excellent points here!

“What is it that a man may call the greatest things in life?"

Where ever you are in your day I hope you’re enjoying it! 😊🫶🐿️🖖

Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 380 , Monday 11/11/2024 Monday started just before 8a, Mrs S is on holiday this week so got downstairs & made us some breakfast. Did some chores then watched another Bettany Hughes thing. 10:55 Mrs S want’s to take me to Chatsworth for lunch, but having cleaned up after her all morning I have zero interest in peopling! Oh well I suppose I best pull on my big boy pants & show some enthusiasm. It’s such a nice run thru the Derbyshire countryside to Chatsworth that it’s hard not to have one’s mood lift, especially on a nice day like today. Had a roast pork dinner then hit the farm shop for some cake & savoury goodies. Got back home & settled down for a coffee & a piece of chocolate fudge cake. Finished the day watching a couple of movies with some snacks we got from Chatsworth. Final Thoughts. It was a nice day today, getting out into the open countryside was good for the spirit! Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖 @actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe #TimsASDjourney #ActuallyAutistic #Neurospicy #TheMammutMoves

I've done a lot of decorating/home building in the last few years, one of the blogs I used to find was Brick House 319. I very much enjoyed watching their journey from hoarder house, to home. And then one day, it stopped. No explanation, not clue, just gone. I miss it https://brickhouse319.wordpress.com/

I have had up to 25 tabs open at one time this week, flitting from one idea to the next, getting ideas for Christmas, projects to make, things to cook, places to go, with my kids visiting from out of town. So excited I can't sleep at night. And it's not even Thanksgiving yet.

CISHET MEN: GET ON IT

I am not seeing nearly enough cishet men react proactively to this national wave of rape threats.

Most men listen only to men, particularly on topics like these. These men specifically only listen to men. Not listening to the opinions of women is the point, because as far as they’re concerned, we don’t get to have any.

Right now, these men are testing what they can get away with. They see but don’t care about how women react; if anything, they like the revulsion and anger, and look forward to more of it when they actually start “grabbing women by the pussy.”

But they do want to see how other men will react. They want to know what other men will say or do.

Passivity now, in the face of this, is permission. And your men friends are watching. If you don’t object, they probably won’t either. So if you’re against this – and you fucking well need to be – you need to get ahead of it.

And the next time, and the time after that? Every other time the fash test something? Because they will be testing everything they can?

It’s the same reality.

You have to get in front of it. Independently. Not just a thumbs up to a woman’s post. Preferably in your own words.

And you have to start right now.
