Going backwards⊠which seems to be on deck here in the U.S. ⊠isnât just wrong. Itâs also really really stupid.

The twelve leverage points to intervene in a system were proposed by Donella Meadows, a scientist and system analyst who studied environmental limits to economic growth.
The leverage points, first published in 1997, were inspired by Meadows' attendance at a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) meeting in the early 1990s, where she realized a very large new system was being proposed but the mechanisms to manage it were ineffective. Meadows, who worked in the field of systems analysis, prop...

My mom had something similar happen in the 70s after she finished med school. Went to buy a Dodge but got the cold shoulder, came back in the Porsche 914 she bought instead to let the prick know heâd fucked up. Wish she could have recorded the salescreepâs reaction.

In weird internet serendipity, I saw this article this evening, making the same points you did
I decided to watch the entire Baymax episode. It was effing adorable
So thanks to the transphobic-woman-hating-dingle-poop, I discovered something cute that brought me joy. Which makes me even happier. The episodes are short and the period one the cutest, but Iâve watched 3 already and will watch another before bed.
ETA: and thanks to my friend Nightflyer!

I, the Worst of All: Directed by MarĂa Luisa Bemberg. With Assumpta Serna, Dominique Sanda, HĂ©ctor Alterio, Lautaro MurĂșa. A viceroy and an archbishop take their posts in Mexico. A local nun, Sor Juana InĂ©s de la Cruz (1651-1695), intrigues them. The...

Although the time period was a few hundred years later, the oppression of women interested in education seemed worse. The real life of Juana Inés de la Cruz and her clashes with members of her family, political figures, and religious leaders also underscores how difficult it was for the accomplishments of women to be acknowledged or celebrated. That any evidence survived the efforts of folks dedicated to control, intolerance, and ignorance seems like a miracle.

âDHSâs Federal Protective Service (FPS) coordinates with law enforcement partners across the country to protect federal facilities, and those who work in and visit those buildings, from violence,â DHS wrote in a statement
So Iâm sure everyone whoâs sent AOC death and rape threats via Twitter has been woken up by four cops knocking on their doors with a letter from DHS, right? Right?!?
