Political science → real-world chaos. I end up in rooms I wasn’t invited to because I ask the wrong questions at the right time. Location flexible by necessity.

Seriously a ton of hate and negativity here. My generation is not here for it. Given: current administration is horrible. Does that get solved by attacking everyone? Maybe that's how Boomer and Gen X did it. Not us. Lift each other up. Take a stance. But no infighting. Not cool.

Not about sex-shaming at all.
But when you get out of breath going over your "body count" my visceral reaction is nausea while images of toxic waste cleanup dance in my head.
Maybe sex won't address your dreads in a meaningful way?

Members of Congress are supposed to do what Dictator Donald Trump tells them to do. Trump relies on support for GOP incumbents facing little-to-no opposition, despite Trump-backed candidates short-circuited.

The Kennedy Center is a living memorial to a fallen president and named for President Kennedy by federal law. It can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the Lincoln Memorial, no matter what anyone says.
