Somehow I missed that Tikkun.org closed at the end of 2024.

That is incredibly sad, and their archives seem to have followed into bit rot this year when the domain and the hosting lapsed. (Still visible via archive.org but their indexing is now gone.)

They will be greatly missed.

I think a lot of people here are way underestimating how difficult it is to break a sexual abuse story *even when everybody kind of knows it* unless you can get victims on record. it is very, very hard.

I'm genuinely, genuinely done talking about this for the evening.

But I will say this, Xavier Becerra is RIGHT there. www.xavierbecerra2026.com

Sexual relationships with women in their 20s who want to get involved in politics, when you're in Congress and almost twice their age, is, even in the BEST of bad circumstances, INCREDIBLY problematic. The power dynamics! Even his apology, if accepted, is sufficient for him to need to withdraw.

The Democratic Party needs to not be the party of predators. The GOP is right there if you want sexually coercive monsters in charge. Fuck your parasocial relations with politicians--all of them who engage in this behavior need to go.

He needs to withdraw and retire REGARDLESS of the verdict, because if the QUESTIONS made a current staffer resign? Come on y'all.

This is not a good photo. The colour is a little off and I will take better pictures tomorrow when I have natural light, but I think they came together OK. There’s a few things I will have to refine with practice, but considering some of these species are my first attempts, I’m pretty pleased.

Great post, great thread. I think like @hurricanexyz.bsky.social says in the post (I think), from first principles I’d say there is an implied timeliness for amendments, to create passage only with contemporaneous consensus (for the same reason I’m inclined to say states can rescind) (cont)

Read Grant's article, if only to marvel at this incredible photo of Astrid Kirchherr standing at the front of the queue to the Cavern in 1964, a year after The Beatles had left Liverpool and two years after her boyfriend, Stuart Sutcliffe had died.

I'm just SAYING, isn't it CONVENIENT that someone who UNDERWENT something THEY NEVER WANTED TO THINK ABOUT AGAIN only SPOKE UP after the PERSON who MADE THEM FEEL LIKE TRASH got CLOSE to having LOTS MORE POWER it SEEMS like a COINCIDENCE.

it shouldn't be socially unacceptable to have a full role of toilet paper in your purse. tp is cheaper than those little Kleenex packets by like 500x and I'm not made of money, okay. I'm made of snot

Greenwood Leflore Hospital in Greenwood, Mississippi, conducted widespread layoffs, permanently shuttering four services and laying off 86 employees.

The embattled hospital system is struggling to survive amid a chronic financial crisis.

Multiple Democrats need to drop out of the California's governor's race in order to not split the vote and advance two Republicans to the general. A candidate credibly accused of sexual assault AND of using his role to shill for a side hustle should be the first to go

I’m TRYING to not have a parasocial relationship with my mayor but I’m having a real hard time with it.

(Also love that the NYT coverage of Mamdani is basically ā€œbut he hasn’t solved literally every problem NYC took decades to accumulate in his first 100 daysā€. )

ā€œThe mother terrified her children with her screaming and yelling as the police took her childrenā€

Your fucking honor, what do you think a parent would do?

Then ā€œgrandparents have a more stable home. The kids can each have their own room. They have more financial opportunitiesā€

Fuck off

Grandparents who file guardianship petitions to forcibly remove their grandchildren from their own child should never, ever, ever, ever be believed. I have been doing this work for decades and not once have I seen a case where the grandparents aren’t the problem in this scenario.

If you are the sort of person who will do this level of violence on your own child then you should not have custody of your grandchildren. I won’t be taking questions at this time.

If the natural parent is that bad of a parent then it’s a CPS matter (not that I love CPS. But)
