“oh Yes, I Am Very Reasonable And Normal About This Subject!!”

I just know in my heart of hearts that in "Star Trek" at one point, there was some moral panic somewhere on Vulcan (among the uppity sorts) because Human culture was "infecting" the local youth with their overly emotional, destructive, unproductive, frivolous, and uneducational ways.

And what was actually happening was that a bunch of Vulcan kids got really into 23rd-century "Minecraft" or something.

Small Vulcan child @ another Vulcan child: (in a tone that sounds flat to Humans but angry as hell to Vulcans) "You have compromised the optimization of my fortress. I am having an emotional urge to blow up your house... in Minecraft."

Here is the goggle doc on what to do! Even if you don’t need to live in New York, you can message the tourism board.

I don't know, how about switching it off?

Cops seem to have a lot of respect for them too, since they stand outside the school doing nothing during school shootings.

Help fight back against the GOP's War on Women and LGBTQIA+!!!

Readers, this week I volunteered to do some online help for Aria Medical, https://www.ariamedical.org/

"Aria Medical is a medication abortion clinic serving people traveling from abortion ban states, like Texas and Oklahoma. We are located in Kansas. We want to make sure people know they are not alone -- that there is help available. Some people with undesired pregnancies don't even know where to start looking, and if they google "how to find an abortion," they often get anti-abortion clinic advertisements."

PLEASE HELP THIS CRUCIALLY IMPORTANT ORG VIA A DONATION: https://bit.ly/support--Aria-Medical

You can donate your own amount, just put your desired contribution into the $0.00 field.

From the org:

"The end of Roe created a public health emergency for people in 14 states that ban abortion.

Aria Medical launched in January 2023 to expand capacity in Kansas for the thousands of people from Texas, Oklahoma and other states who must leave home to get an abortion.

Aria served over 3100 people in the first year.

90% of Aria patients are very low income, and need financial support to cover their costs.

Aria’s biggest funder is closing down operations in September.

Aria seeks one-time and sustaining donors to ensure they never turn away a patient because they cannot pay."

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU AND PLEASE SHARE!!! THE GOP WAR ON WOMEN & LGBTQIA+ WON'T STOP UNTIL WE STOP IT.

I hate when I say things like "oh I want an ipod classic but with bluetooth so I can use wireless headphones" and some peanut comes in and replies with "so a smartphone with spotify?" No. I want a 160GB+ rectangular monstrosity where I can download every version of every song I want to it and it does nothing except play music and I don't need a data connection and don't have to pay a subscription to not have ads and don't have popups suggesting terrible AI playlists all over the menus.

Gimme the clicky wheel and song titles like "My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade- Blood (Bonus Track)- secret track- album rip- high quality"
