This isn’t feminism, this is an attempt at making gender roles cute and palatable. A feminist would likely tell any woman who feels she’s responsible for her husband like she is for a child to get a divorce, because that’s not an equal partnership.

Sadly plausible, as I assume anyone wearing those hats celebrates unconstitutional acts in general.

Wait, the hats say 45-47? That would mean 45 through 47, inclusive of 46. Did they think an ampersand looked too feminine or something?

Nobody ever likes this answer, but it’s the truth.

My knowledge is more related to the meat side of things than the egg side honestly, but here’s a citation: 70 percent of chicken farmers with no other job live below the poverty line. That’s not people who work on a chicken farm (although they’re certainly not paid well either), that’s the people who own it.

These farms may technically be ‘small scale’ in that they aren’t owned by a giant corporation, but they often contain multiple times as many chickens as their European counterparts, in more crowded conditions, which is part of why disease spreads so fast.

For meat, the reason the farmers are in this mess is because separate companies buy and process the chicken, and they won’t buy from you if you don’t follow their arbitrary and frequently changing guidelines. They also don’t pay a given amount per pound, they pay you depending on the yields other chicken farmers got on their farms. And the farmers don’t have another place to sell their chickens, it’s these companies or nothing, as 20 companies control basically the entire US market.

It’s illegal in Georgia for anyone other than poll workers to give people water while they stand in line to vote. Also, it’s not mandated that poll workers do so.

Seems relevant when it comes to paying voters.

They sell bags of TVP here in the US for not that much if you buy it in the Hispanic section of the grocery store. I’m a little surprised to hear that’s not available in (assuming based on your instance) Germany.

It doesn’t have to be gay sex, is the thing. You can criticize homophobes without engaging in homophobia yourself. “But they’re the ones that are upset by it, so in this situation homophobia is okay” is a bad excuse for it, and it also glosses over that they are not the only ones affected by homophobic imagery.

JD Vance is a racist, would you cheer on images that depict him marrying a non-white woman as shameful? If you are more comfortable with one than the other, you should ask yourself why.

On the off chance this is a genuine question, Trump is depicted as subservient to Putin and bad for the US in this image. While both of those things can be true, the way this was conveyed visually was with gay oral sex. Portraying politicians you don’t like engaged in gay sex is only a snappy own if you accept the right wing position that gay sex is shameful and exploitative. You don’t have to do that to criticize them.

Very nice! I like the texture on his jacket, it’s very houndstoothy.

What software are you using to digitize the art for the machine? I’ve been curious about using my library’s machine as well, but I’m not really sure which software is worth spending time learning.

Except for the crab, I don’t think any of those are capable of even hurting a person. If a mantis pinches you it’s not that bad, I’d definitely rather have that than a bee sting.

 

Trans Rights are under assault all across the United States as the new administration continues a brutal project of oppression, exclusion, and denial of care to people everywhere.

Distribute Aid is developing a network of supply chains, medical aid, distribution partners and kit development across 11 states that aims to provide direct care and medical support to thousands of trans people, with the goal of scaling up to cover the rest of the country during 2025.

100% of the proceeds of this bundle go directly toward Distribute Aid's efforts to supply kits of 1 year's necessary medical equipment into the hands of trans people in needs for free.

Each kit comes with a sharps container and enough syringes, needles, bandages, and alcohol wipes to last a year. For people living in states where it’s difficult to access syringes and needles, this will help reduce needle reusing and sharing.

If you aren’t interested in the games and prefer to donate to the campaign directly, you can do that here.

 
 

The checklist with all time high counts for six species is absolutely nuts!

 

Link has resources for both online and in person tax prep, depending on your preference.

This was the first year I’d heard of being able to get this done for free at the library! I plan on getting mine done through them this year.
