The passion of the Mormon feminist - High Country News For 50 years, β€˜Exponent IIβ€˜ has made the LDS Church squirm. It has no plans to stop.

For 50 years, the Mormon feminist magazine Exponent II has made the male hierarchy of the LDS Church squirm. It has no plans to stop.

1. Twenty-some years ago, as the embers of the intelligent design movement were dying out, a loose band of thinkers known as the New Atheists made a name for themselves by confusing materialist methodology with materialist metaphysics and going on the offensive against all of organized religion.

Tweet by Matthew (Crowsfault) on March 10, 2022 saying: People speak of hope as if it is this delicate, ephemeral thing made of whispers and spider's webs. It's not. Hope has dirt on her face, blood on her knuckles, the grit of the cobblestones in her hair, and just spat out a tooth as she rises for another go.

This seems fitting for the events we're going through today.

Please don't leave disabled people behind in your revolution. Please do not see us as sacrifices for the greater good, or dead weight. Please see our lives as worth saving, too.

No one is coming to save us but one another.

It's time for my semiannual soapbox:

"It is the position of the AASM [American Academy of Sleep Medicine] that the United States should eliminate seasonal time changes in favor of permanent standard time, which aligns best with human circadian biology."

People like to talk about being radicalized politically but honestly not wanting people to die of poverty and be able to get insulin and not bombing innocent children seems like pretty normal boring morality, all those other fucking weirdos are the radical ones
