Given how our patriarchal society treats women, I’m supposed to believe that a “biological male,” whatever *that* is, would transition just to play women’s sports? R-i-i-i-ght.

My understanding is that the settlement was reached last year, so I don’t know why another judge’s ruling is necessary. I have already filed claims for my own works, in fact. To quote a certain song, “B!tch better have my money.”

Snagged this from FB. This may make some people uncomfortable but I think it highlights just how far we've come from what's natural, from our relationship to the Earth that sustains us and our beautiful relatives we share it with.

Taylor Farms has had so many recalls that they have their own wikipedia page. They have a monopoly on lettuce. They have a history of abusing "temporary workers" that they keep as below minimum wage long term contractors. They've had food safety recalls in 2011, 2012, six times in 2013, 2024 & 2026.

I was one of a maximum of about 8 people watching this on YouTube. Mostly a sales pitch and New Age junk with a couple of truly legit voices (namely Majora Carter). Really disappointing. We don’t need catchphrases like “regenaisance,” we can’t prioritize capital.

Some of these prescription medicine advertisements on TV are victim blaming. “Her too negative?” Really? So if she be more positive, she wouldn’t have this condition to begin with?
