I am a physics student, just shooting for the moon and hoping I hit the stars (not mars). I love reading and writing as a passion (not just a hobby) and would love to publish someday. I love my husband who is actually the coolest teacher in the world.

I had to actually fact check this because I literally could not believe he said it out in the open. It's not shocking he thinks this, mind you. But holy mind fuck.

Fuck this shitface. Caucasians are a rather late arrival to these shores, and they have not been a very beneficial immigrant so far.

Just FYI, here are my personal beliefs on the use of large scale violence.

1. Violence tends to be self-replicating, and so should be avoided as much as possible.

All violence has the potential to entrench itself.

It's been a very surreal year watching all of what's going alongside my husband who teaches history with a background in economics. When you understand the 1929 crash, Herbert Hoover's policies, and Harding's attitudes towards letting business run the gov, it's surreal.

I love DVDs and Blu Rays so much but it can be a little inconvenient to change discs all the time, especially with binge watching.

Someone should invent a system where it all streams to your TV remotely. That would be so convenient and I'm sure it won't become a nightmare.

Six years ago, Uganda announced a bill to legalize murdering gay people. The National Christian Organization paid a preacher to go to Uganda and help their lawmakers with the bill. Chick-fil-A funds The National Christian Org.

If you eat at Chick-fil-A, this is what your money goes to.

I used to think people just didn’t understand what Columbus did but now I think some are really attached to him (as opposed to other worthy italians to celebrate) because their whole thing is not only getting away with doing horrible things but forcing everyone to praise them for being horrible

Today on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we celebrate the immeasurable contributions of American indigenous communities and cultures. Arizona’s 22 tribal communities make our state special, and it’s my honor to work with and represent them in the Senate.

Drug Rehabs Lure In Patients for Insurance Money—Then Leave Them on the Street

Operators promise high-end treatment, help addicts sign up for insurance then pile on charges for little in return, say former patients and insurers.

Voting for trans rights is not the same as if I were voting against christian rights. There's a big difference.

I'm sick of Republicans always saying they don't know what's going on and haven't seen any data on anything while they have all the power of the house of reps, the senate and the white house

Soraya🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌌📚 @soraya22.bsky.social · 3d

They are sitting at all the levers of power in this country and they always say they have no idea what's going on

The majority of the money should be with the majority of the people. Instead, the majority of the money is with a minority of the people, and we have authoritarian, minority rule as a direct result of that.

The majority of the money should be with the majority of the people. Instead, the majority if the money is with a small minority of people, and we are experiencing minority, authoritarian rule as a result.
