On the AI "girlfriend" thing and why women are "behind", there's a lock to unpack but a huge thing here is just misogyny. Men are conditioned to dehumanize women and the AI girlfriend thing is just that ramped up. Women aren't conditioned to view men that way, as literal objects.

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

When we moved into this house a couple years ago, my very kind neighbor was like “oh FYI my husband is a concert cellist so if it’s ever too loud or disturbing you or anything, please just let us know.” You know what, hasn’t been a problem.

We really need to stop talking about this as some kind of looming threat rather than a process well underway. It’s not “close.” You have arrived at your destination. The order has been delivered.

I'm not sure if they realize - or just don't care - that it's not only tree-hugging liberals who love and appreciate that land. This might be one thing that could set off a serious backlash among the trumpers, out there.

Thomas chimes in to add that maybe we should stop applying heightened scrutiny to sex-based discrimination in general since courts have only been doing it since the 70s (a. eek b. Thomas footnotes like this one are a good way to know which way the right-wing legal world winds are blowing)

I'm with @chuygarcia.house.gov, Rep Jonathan Jackson, & Rep Danny Davis at the ICE Processing Center at Broadview to investigate ICE's inhumane, unlawful detention of immigrant families - our constituents. Against the law, we're being denied entry.

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment. In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community. You have a home here always.

This little fart-squirrel (Mephitis mephitis) is stamping, a warning behavior before the big show. She's hoping to scare you off with her ferocity so she doesn't have to use her scent glands. These types of bluffing moves are "deimatic" behaviors, from Greek 'deimatóo' = "to frighten".

A fibula (pin for fastening garments) in the shape of a #frog. Animal-shaped fibulae were popular in the northwestern provinces of the Roman empire. It has been suggested that frogs had an apotropaic value (i. e. to avert evil), but there is no evidence for this. 📷Morgan Library 🏺#archaeology

It was 160 years ago that enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned they had been freed — after the Civil War's end. The resulting Juneteenth holiday — its name combining “June” and “nineteenth” — has only grown, and it was designated a federal holiday in 2021.

For years, right wingers' favorite attack on government overreach was a single memo written about a Nazi's attempt to infiltrate a far right Catholic Church, which they claimed was an attack on the Catholic Church. And now they're leading the attack.
