At this instant in 1945 (8:15 AM August 6, local time), Little Boy—a 15-kiloton, uranium-fueled atomic bomb—destroyed Hiroshima, killing (per official US military estimates) ~70,000 men, women, and children, incl. 12 American POWs. Independent estimates later maintained ~140,000 people were killed.

Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · yesterdayFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
In 1986, contracting HIV meant you were going to die, usually slowly, painfully, and alone. Now it's a chronic illness like hypertension. In 1986, gay and lesbian couples couldn't have their relationships legally recognized and had to adopt elaborate legal workarounds.

You mean he *merely* made women’s employment contingent upon their tolerance of his sexual overtures and imposition of gendered indignity? Remembering that this used to be the kind of thing women could complain and even sue over suddenly sounds like an unheard of luxury. …
Maritza Rivera keeps quietly going "Mmm hmm" to Saka and Kettle's comments. Hmm, wonder what they'll do when CCTV camera surveillance fails to prevent or solve violent crime? (I don't actually wonder. They'll just say it shows they need more surveillance, and blame the mayor again.)
Seattle City Councilmember Bob Kettle had an emotional meltdown at a meeting this morning, calling Mayor Katie Wilson's decision to study police camera surveillance "unconscionable."
do i go get cigarettes and drown my depression .... it's hard to quit because its like losing a good friend and in my era of isolation and loneliness it's the truth

Yes to this, and also why I struggle to understand transphobic professional female athletes. You think this little of yourself? You think ANY guy can just show up and beat you? This is just garden variety sexism, against yourself?
Rodger Sherman@rodger.bsky.social · 2d agoYou can see the very obvious throughline from “men could transition and easily dominate women’s sports” to “women’s sports are lesser and shouldn’t be taken seriously” to “women shouldn’t play sports” to “here are the acceptable life choices for women”
yes i would love to go outside if my stupid treatment side effects weren't ruining my day to day sure, i am fine.

There’s no contradiction between this kind of pornographic misogyny and puritanical misogyny of the old Christian right. Both use sexuality to enact men’s domination over women. That one sect forces sex and the other prohibits it is largely a matter of taste.
One sign of the rise of male supremacy and the decline in women’s status is the ubiquity of online porn lingo in casual speech.

What’s important to know is that prevention is key for cyclosporiasis because the ONLY surefire cure is Bactrim. Unfortunately many people (ME) are allergic to sulfa drugs and the only way you find that out is when your tongue swells in your mouth and you break out in hives like I did
Kelly@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 2d agoWhen people die and the media says they had “pre-existing conditions”… they’re pacifying the public. Anyone could die from Cyclosporiasis, but they want you to believe it can’t happen to you. It can only happen to the weak, the disabled, the elderly. The expendable people. Eugenics.
the reason women's sports are separated from men's is because the women were kicking their ass men got butt hurt
it's very interesting that the people who most care about "protecting women's sports" also think women's sports are a joke that 100% should not exist. Probably shouldn't think too hard about those motivations while pushing their talking points, though.

"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 3d agoPresident Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v
This case is a terrifying reminder of the fact that being charged with a crime upends your life. Maria Rojas has had her midwifery license suspended, and the conditions of her bond prohibit her from working in healthcare in any capacity. Texas didn't just arrest her, they took away her livelihood.
Autonomy News@autonomynews.co · 2d ago“The problem is that there's a human being on the other end of whatever political point it is they're trying to make," said an attorney for Maria Rojas, the Texas midwife who is the first person to be prosecuted under the state's criminal abortion ban.
they're going to focus on those people's "underlying health issues" aren't they just to make themselves feel better..... for the time being COOK YOUR VEGETABLES. bake, steam, grill, don't eat lettuce, cilantro or parsley try to buy from farmers markets,
