For your Autumnal 🍂 celebrations this year, feel free to burn a copy of the Malleus Maleficarum. I never approve of book burning🔥/banning, except for that extra special POS 📚 that's a manual written by the first incel, a crazy, sexually frustrated 15th C monk on how to specifically torture women.

A 16-year old created this art project for HS. It had to be made out of a book & relevant to the book. She chose the Bible, and made this piece as a commentary on how it has been used to persecute women. How would you respond if someone told you the Bible is anti-woman.

Photo of a young girl in a costume with flames at the bottom and a 16th century gown signifying a woman being burned at the stake captioned "mom I need a costume for a religious party at school. Say no more".

Christians didn't burn witches at the stake. They lit women they couldn't control on fire.

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

So glad i don't have a thigh gap. I almost dropped my phone in the toilet, but my legs were like, no girl, we got you.

I'm fascinated by modern songs that could be fairy ballads. Hotel California - man stumbles across strange hotel at night which is actually a fairy hill. Sees many strange things. Can never leave. Jolene-mortal woman contesting with leannàn side (fairy lover) for the mortal woman's husband. House of the rising sun- unseelie gambling house/brothel whose location shifts but which always lures in the unwary. Ruin of many a young man.

Yeah, so we're all concerned with ICE & his deal with Qatar & not with a toaster costing $100. I need to brush up on my fire building skills. I'm gonna need to start campfire cooking if things keep getting more expensive.

We've trained foreign pilots for years on 🇺🇸 soil. Nothing new. BUT, as far as I know there's not been a dedicated foreign training facility here for someone's foreign military. Deep 🟥 Idaho, home of some serious domestic terrorists who want another J6/permanent Nazi 🇺🇸? Something's rotten in Idaho. 🤷‍♀️

It never will make sense. Other than for the ego & greed of MAGA Republicans.

Dixie ☕︎ @dixie13.bsky.social · 4d

We've trained foreign pilots forever here in 🇺🇸. Nothing new. But, as far as I know countries have never had an actual facility here. My complete & total concern about this: is he setting things up for a foreign military colab w/ loyalists in the armed forces to really fuck us? Paranoid? Maybe. 🤷‍♀️😐

I hope the NP committee understands that even considering him as a serious candidate will make the prize forever a joke. There'll be the serious before Trump🏅& after joke Trump 🏅. One fabricated good deed doesn't negate a lifetime of corruption & heinous acts. We'll create a new valid peace prize.

I've known this statistic for a long time. Obviously, half-assed research & money was the goal, not actually helping patients. I know there are serious researchers out there. It's tragic it took them that long to get this changed.

In 1992, Whitney’s “I Will Always Love You” hit #1. In 1993, the NIH finally required women and people of color in clinical trials. Let that sink in.

John Fetterman was a Democrat. Then he got a brain injury and became a Republican.

If you can come up with a better example of what it takes to become a Republican, I challenge you to try.

Wait, wait, wait just a minute here. Who *are* these tubby guys? What are they doing? Are they Americans? I've seen large LEOs, but rarely military. These can NOT be 🇺🇸 soldiers. These can't be any country's military. I'm really not into size shaming but if this is ICE we should just bribe them w/ 🌮.

At some point, someone, somewhere, some country/countries are going to get real fucking tired of this American president & his Captain Morgan sidekick & their antics. And average Americans & soldiers will pay a heavy price for their fuckery. 🤷‍♀️😐

NEW: TN’s Senators Blackburn & Hagerty joined Republicans in blocking a resolution that would’ve forced Trump to get congressional approval for targeted killings.

AP: The Trump admin hasn’t shown Congress any evidence that the targeted boats were smuggling drugs.
