Israel has an ultra-advanced military and police force with billions of dollars in budgetary support from the United States. Only Palestine has a shortlist of casualties, Israel does not.

I think that bullet goes more towards ending retributive hiring practices that have made it harder for folks who are vocal about abuse to get jobs than about actively seeking out survivors. I think the intent is to stop abusing folks twice over by having them live through the abuse and then see themselves not get…

I’ll take it to mean make a point of hiring women who’ve been wronged especially since in many or most cases they’ll suffer career repercussions for standing up for themselves.

Unemployment typically does not cover 100% of your lost wages. Even with the $300 supplement, the Chamber of Commerce’s own analysis shows that 75% of people collecting unemployment are getting less than they got from working. It’s highly unlikely that there are a significant number of people turning down jobs because…

It’s the $10 leather couch bullshit.

I definitely noticed that my introvert battery was depleting faster than it would have pre-COVID. I guess isolation will do that to you, hahaha.

We bought a car!

Yeah as you noted in a later comment, Moyo is also Jewish, so really the missed opportunity here is Jewish institutions uplifting the voices of and empowering Jews of Color who too often face racism from the mostly white, mostly Ashkenazi Jewish community (and also can face antisemitism from their other ethnic communit…

Just read more about this (while looking to see where the Goulds’ worshipped; yes, I’m Jewish and being nosy) and Moyo is Jewish! WTF, people? This just kills me that they would prevent her from making the connection to Black lives! ARGH.

This is ridiculous. One of the missions of the National Holocaust Museum in D.C. is speaking out about genocide around the world, which would include the treatment of Black people in this country. I’ve been there when they had huge exhibits of the plight of the Sudanese (prior to the creation of So. Sudan). The…

RIP Olympia Dukakis! She was a fantastic actress and this was sad news.

I AM GETTING VACC’D ON MONDAY.

Snakes on a Plane. I will not elaborate. 

I see couple of things happening with this Colton discourse.

she’s getting attacked like crazy. i think it’s because she rightfully named seth rogen as being complicit and everyone loves seth rogen so she’s getting shit on big time.

I’m reviving Pissing Contest with a new topic every week.

I’ve always loved John Hughes movies (and most 80s teen movies) but I never experienced any of that stuff in high school. I experienced it in junior high and late elementary (all of which is considered middle school now.)

I don’t know how I managed this, but Southern CA Kaiser locations have literally scores and scores of appointments, 10 minutes apart, available for members every day. Granted, there’s about a 20 minute wait once you get to whatever location you choose, but you’re assured a place in line and a jab. I can’t remember…

This, because I also happened to visit a well-populated neighborhood in Chicago not far from Wrigleyville at the exact same time as OP here, and walked over to the lakefront path/beach, and both along the way and at the destination saw 100% mask compliance.

Yeah, that breathing thing...  I’ve tried to do without it, but they get really cranky about that in hospitals.
