I'm in rural Texas. I feel your pain. I hope one day we can turn our state gov't blue again like y'all did & shut those disrespectful assholes up.
*smdh* They don't want a kid to read a book about Sally's two daddies, but a sign w/"FUCK" on it across from a school is fine. Sounds like my neighbors.

Nah. It was Joe on a hot mic when the ACA passed. He told Obama, "This is a big fuckin' deal."

Oh, gawd, I know. I frequently "WTF white people" facepalm and I am a white people. We need to get comfortable being uncomfortable discussing racism. It won't kill us, but not doing it will kill them. *IS* killing them.

I figured, but can't tell what kind of readiness. Do you know? Or can you point me to a place where I can find that info? Obama left us with a great pandemic readiness system 'til nuts like Crenshow fucked it up right before we needed it, so I'm suspicious.

I know what you mean. I have some lovely knitting yarns that I would love to fiddle around with replicating on my spinning wheel, but they just say "wool". Harumph. lol

They surely don't make it easy for us. Did you see the text of the bill? It's HUGE! I'm not braining right today so can't tell if it's all new or the entire old bill w/the changes in but not highlighted so we can't find them easily.

Huh. I did not know that either. Interesting. So do you know why it's called that while not being wool from Shetland sheep? All I can think of why it would be named that is maybe it's spun using a method of spinning devolped in the Shetlands?

TX A&M promised a tenured UT prof the world, then offered her a 1yr at-will contract thinking it would entice her to leave UT to come work for them? Huh. Can't qwhite put my finger on why they'd do such a disrespectful thing.

What fiber type / size are you looking for? If you just want a bit for comparison, let me know & I'll look through my stash. If I find it, I'll put a few yards in the mail to you. My stash is small,but it be mighty (though mostly lace/fingering - I'm in TX), so maybe I'll have some of what you need.

Nah, they just *decided to do it* long ago. Then it took a couple decades of figuring out how to neutralize all the different ones, then do it, complicted by the usual procrastination. Glad to see it's done now though. Thanks for the info - I'd have missed it had you not posted this.

Why am I not surprised. And you know Repubs will ALL say Biden arrested him to shut him up, just like the nutjob himself said. They'll all conveniently forget Wray is a Trump appointee, dude first "whistleblew" in 2019 before Biden won, & DUDE IS A GUN RUNNER AND CHINESE SPY. They are so exhausting.

I just read your entire post, Charlotte, and no discomfort whatsoever. Quite the opposite - I am comforted that I'm not alone in feeling the same way you do. Thank you for writing that.

Wow. Your first sentence was good and I'd have said "Fair enough.", but the second shit reminds me of Twitter. I thought we all came here to get away from that. Why did you say that part instead of just leaving it at the first?

Jeff already said "classified war plan stealing", but the last one? Yes! If he'd tried to be a good father & they still went their own way, no. But that absentee fucker only taught them all of his evil shit & they're old enough to know better but don't care. So yes. Definitely yes.

We need to stop using performing fellatio as a pejorative. It's both sexist & homophobic.
Making fun of dick size, too. If we want to stamp out toxic masculinity, we need to stop partaking in it.

In response to Rosetta.
There's nothing different btwn releasing these & telling of a conversation they had except these are harder for sexists to deny. The only way to change the damaging patriarchy we live in is to expose the toxicity. Just like the anti-homophobe & BLM movements, you have to talk about it to change it.

Thanks for doing the legwork to find all that out for us. Saved me the trouble. I'm reporting them now, too, then blocking.
