I'm usually hesitant to share too much about my son, Ripley, or his situation but our situation (US, WV/OH) changed last week. Ripley is about 18 months old and we've known since he was born that he would need a #KidneyTransplant once he was big enough. Until last week, our plan was for him to get one of mine. Unfortunately, I was disqualified, so we're on the hunt for a kidney! If you or someone you know would have any interest in being screened, you can visit https://ripley.love (1/2)

Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.

Never use “tireless” to praise people teaching, nursing, volunteering, doing activist work, etc. I assure you, these people are plenty tired.

1. Fox News' @JesseBWatters@twitter.com told millions of viewers that Silicon Valley Bank "donated $74 million to Black Lives Matter."

Similar claims went viral on Twitter

Some "facts" are too good to check

The actual amount that SVB donated to BLM is ZERO

Anyone know Black #librarians looking for work? Asking for my partner, who would love to not be the last one standing at one of the main #libraries serving Black #Boston. #BlackMastodon #LibraryJobs #Jobs @librarians

GPT4 is being marked by OpenAI in part as an infinite tutor for children…even though there’s no proof across the entire history of computer-aided instruction that *un*directed and *dis*connected teaching is as effective as investing in teachers. For 40 years or longer, the dream has been “replace teachers with tech.” Blah.

Currently the FCC has the power to sanction network news outlets like CBS, ABC etc if they intentionally lie about a news story. BUT that does NOT apply to cable news meaning Fox News can keep LYING. FCC's powers must be expanded to cable news-My article: https://deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/heres-how-we-can-stop-fox-news-from

Me: Hey koalas are pretty cute.

Any zoologist ever: So let me educate you about these smooth brained pieces of absolute shit.

Do you live in Napa county and have fruit trees with more fruit than you can use?

St. Helena High School's Environmental Club has been active in the local fruit gleaning effort, helping harvest fruit which would otherwise go unused. The fruit is donated to the St. Helena Food Pantry.

If you'd like to participate in the fruit gleaning program, call 707-696-0530.

For the sake of empathy, I ask you all to take a second to consider things from the perspective of Conservatives:

Inflation is out of control. Housing is unaffordable. The healthcare system is broken. Everyone is drowning in student debt. Ecosystems are collapsing. We're constantly on the brink of war.

So naturally, one would ask, how can we even hope to solve these daunting and complex issues if we do not have detailed information on the genitals of every American citizen?

Solo material from former Traffic drummer Jim Capaldi with fellow Traffic bandmate Steve Winwood on keyboards from 1983. I have an original Atlantic Records 45 rpm vinyl single of this tune somewhere in my stuff.

So I'm gonna move out on the highway.
Head on down the road leaving it all behind.
Had enough of lying. There'll be no more crying this time.
