Today is #Shropshireday and also the Feast of St Milburga. The daughter of Merewalh, king of the Magonsaete and second abbess of Wimnicas (Wenlock) She ruled over a community of both Monks and Nuns. Following her death around 716, she was soon venerated as a saint. #Shropshire #History #Folklore

#Shropshireday The 'Life of St Milburga' tells of many miracles, including Milburga restoring sight and bringing a dead child back to life. Her relics cured people of blindness, and two of leprosy. They also made a woman vomit a 'hideous worm' and recover from a wasting disease.

St Milburga performed a number of miracles during her lifetime, some of which included water. When a neighbouring prince resolved to have Milburga as his wife, he chased her through the countryside, across a river. Once she'd crossed, the river banks swelled, protecting her. #Folklore #Shropshire

This email could have been an ordinary, productive day

For eight years, liberals have counted on legal strategies to stop Donald Trump. Now that Trump has taken control of the executive and legislative branches of government and is consolidating control of the judicial branch, this isn't just naïve—it's counterproductive. crimethinc.com/becomeananar...

All those people who wrote "this is how it is bad for Biden" articles, where any thing that happened in the world was framed as a presidential negative did they forgot how to do that?

There’s a reason why games are made by game developers and not by players. I wouldn’t go to a restaurant where other customers prepare my food.

Hey, what's up with books having sprayed edges these days? LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY! I was there! Thread: 1/13

Non-toxic yuri. This yuri was thoroughly tested following FDA guidelines and found to be safe to ingest, but nonetheless is not intended for human consumption. This yuri comes in 64 brilliant colors your child will love

I AM A LITERAL FUCKING ANTHROPOLOGIST IF YOU COME AT ME WITH "CULTURE/MYTHOLOGY IS JUST FANDOM" I WILL STRIP THE SINEW FROM YOUR BONES AND USE IT TO MAKE A FUCKING HARP

Just 136$ left for Shitkickers #1 and #2 to be fully funded! Push, everybody - PUSH!! 😱😱😱

It is a twisted combination of funny and frustrating that every Nazi dog whistle they did over the past decade plus, yes, including that OK symbol thing, got downplayed into oblivion by many of the people who feel like they are just all of the sudden heiling out of nowhere.

Towards Anarchy "...the subject is not whether we accomplish Anarchy today, tomorrow or within ten centuries, but that we walk toward Anarchy today, tomorrow and always." Malatesta

love how andor offers practical advise to activists like guy who's tragic backstory is 'the gov stole my brothers pepper trees' is lying

its just pure sunk-cost reasoning, to admit that you were wrong about musk you have to reconsider a whole bunch of other stuff and that sucks / will alienate you from your broader social circle

"Unfortunately, this has created a political environment in which Democrats have been loath to implement checks and reforms.... Consequently, Kash Patel could do a lot of damage at the FBI without overhauling the bureau much at all." — @radleybalko.bsky.social

Breaking — All Department of Justice office leaders just received an email saying they should be “prepared to follow the instructions” in the OPM/Musk bullet email, according to a copy shared with me. Full text:

FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 1965: After five years and seventy million dollars we have invented a new type of plastic that prevents communists from being able to climb ladders too fast FEDERAL RESEARCH LAB SCIENTIST IN 2025: My cure for cancer was shelved because it might benefit Hispanics

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

Local news has picked this up, noting, “Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris also appeared to be in attendance at the event, although he has yet to offer a public statement after multiple attempts to contact his office.“ You can see him downthread. www.khq.com/news/attende...

There are a few places in this country that serve as testing grounds for conservative tactics, places where you can see the future before it arrives elsewhere. Coeur D'Alene, Idaho is one of those places -- I've written about it before This video should scare the absolute shit out of everyone

I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

very fun to to hear liberals complain about ‘purity tests’ and as a trans person knowing the test is ‘do you want to kill me and all my friends’

its not GREAT but it is very FUNNY that the richest man in the world is trying to big time federal employees. like, okay, get ready to receive 25,000 emails that say "I delivered the mail"

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

Pitt, Penn, & Vanderbilt, with a deluge more sure to come. Can you imagine being 22, having done some HS online in Covid, struggling but succeeding in a BA/BS during the last few years, finally being accepted into a PhD program, then these Nazis dash those dreams too?! As always, cruelty=the point.

Also we just discovered an abscess on one of our cats, so there's probably a vet visit we can't afford in our future, *sob*

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

Plenty of people in journalism played key roles in making it possible

companies listening to what people say they want instead of making art and just giving them something has been ruinous for games, movies and more for the last 10-15 years

I am so tired of Discourse. I am so tired of people who are just people -- flawed, prickly, imperfect people -- ripping each other apart in an attempt to justify their dislike of each other by reference to Eternal Principles. It's okay to just think someone is a cruel asshole and MOVE TF ON.

People who will buy a horny visual novel game vastly outnumber those who will admit to buying a horny visual novel game This is a fundamental problem with voluntary polling in general

I saw someone saying "every character you ever read about, saw, or heard about started as someone's OC!" - and if that didn't bring home to me that we really are happy using "OC" to mean "characters made by amateurs/peasants"...

all else aside this is some classic dumb guy management, just absolutely stupid time and resource wasting incompetent boss shit

You: They did the math. Me: ᵀʰᵉʸ ᵈⁱᵈ ᵗʰᵉ ᵐᵒⁿˢᵗᵉʳ ᵐᵃᵗʰ You: What was that? Me: Nothing. Me three hours later in a whisper: ᴵᵗ ʷᵃˢ ᵃ ᵍʳᵃᵛᵉʸᵃʳᵈ ᵍʳᵃᵖʰ

It’s worth remembering Trump lost the over 65 vote.

I want to see city halls full of rumpled retired people ready to skeletonize a recalcitrant congressperson in 30 seconds, all across America

he's really going to make every federal employee print out all the code they've written this week

Also make it known in your circles if you can offer folks free photocopying. It's more expensive than ever. ESPECIALLY color copies. If you can liberate resources from your workplace for ex, let people in your close circles know that you'll make copies for them for free.

Today is the birthday of Nina Simone,musician and activist. Lyrics from one of her most powerful songs "Mississippi Goddam" rings true 60 years after it's release. "Picket lines School boycotts They try to say it's a communist plot All I want is equality For my sister, my brother, my people,and me"

Today (Feb 22) in 1943, three courageous young people in the group White Rose were executed for distributing anti-Nazi leaflets in Germany. Sophie Scholl: "The greatest damage is caused by the silent majority that just wants to survive, submit and go along with everything."
