Well, today is the big day! @fawfulfanswife is running the San Antonio Rock and Roll Half Marathon with the money that y'all helped us raise for @StJude.

I'm walking over to the Tower of the Americas now to wait for her at the finish line.

Thank you for your support!
She's started!!!

Wish her luck!
She's halfway done!
Two miles to go. I've moved to the finish line to meet her.
She's coming down Montana Street. It won't be long now.
She's done. Looking for her now.
Well done, babester.

Michael Adams's slogan was "It should be easy to vote and hard to cheat."

His incoming policy is the exact opposite of both.
Your daily reminder that highly restrictive voter ID laws don't even work at preventing fraud. Most fraud occurs with absentee ballots, which obviously an ID won't fix.

Much less restrictive in-person checks, like address-bearing documents, are sufficient to stop impersonation.
(Also even these checks should give the option of an affidavit vote, to prevent disenfranchising homeless people and others who may fall through the cracks.)

Thank you for sharing your story, Charlotte.

Abuse of trans women is a rampant problem in this country and, as you say, it is often perpetrated by the very same groups who hypocritically claim trans women need to be stripped of public accommodation for the safety of cis women.
I believe the passive-aggressive way society sexualizes trans women is itself an incitement of violence against them. We're told they're ugly, they're frauds, they're undesirable, and so then we turn around and don't believe them when they are sexually preyed on by cis men.
Queer people of all kinds are assumed to have a sexual agenda just for living as they are in public spaces. And that leads cishet people to define their interactions with them in sexual terms that wouldn't be true of cishet men or even cishet women.

That is what we must change.

Am I angry with @GovernorBullock that he won't run for Senate? A little.

But I'm more angry at @senatemajldr for making the Senate such a miserable, unproductive, thankless hellhole to work in that dozens of statesmen in both parties who'd make good senators won't go near it.
This is the only correct take, FYI.

It's Bullock's choice what he wants to do with his political career. It's also McConnell's choice what he wants the Senate to be, and he has decided it's going to be something that makes the people in it yearn for the sweet release of death.
Bullock essentially understands that if he beats Daines, he's not going to be able to do anything for Montana there. He won't be allowed to legislate. He won't have a meaningful voice in whatever committee he's given. Basically all he'll get to do is vote on judges.

Today is a big day. Two long-awaited genetic studies have been published now – the updated version of the widely-read ‘The Genomic Formation of South and Central Asia’ is out in Science, and the first study of a genome from a Harappan site, Rakhigarhi, is out in Cell.
Both support earlier findings about the formation of Indian population and who the Harappans were with even more robust evidence than earlier.
But first, the Harappan genome study published in Cell, with the headline: “An Ancient Harappan Genome Lacks Ancestry from Steppe pastoralists or Iranian Farmers.”

Today is a big day for #UroSoMe and we wish to take this opportunity to recap what we have done in the past and we are planning to do in the future. This is an amazing story which would never be successful without your support. (1/n)
The idea of #UroSoMe came up in late 2018 and we gathered a group of urologists who are very committed to this. It is not easy to build up #UroSoMe, and it is even more difficult to sustain it. We share a common vision and that is the major reason that keeps #UroSoMe going..(2/n)
#UroSoMe stands for ‘Urology Social Media’. There is so much for us to learn from each other, and such interactions should never be bounded by physical or geographical restrictions. “The beginning of #UroSoMe” was posted @BJUIjournal blog site. (3/n) bjuinternational.com/bjui-blog/blog…

Today we’d like to give you all a little peek into the kind of work we do everyday at RAICES 💚

‼️Reminder: this is all possible thanks to our amazing team of legal professionals & YOU and your support.
In April, our San Antonio Community Immigration Services team held a naturalization clinic in El Cenizo, a small town just outside of Laredo, TX.

Over two days, teams of attorneys and legal assistants held consultations and prepared naturalization applications 📝
We were thrilled to be able to help and operate this clinic in such an underserved region of Texas.

These are the types of things made possible thanks to all of ya’lls support.

Let’s keep fighting together ✊🏽💚

🙏 (A) THREAD: AYUMI HAMASAKI 🙏

a rainha do jpop (que pisa na namie amuro e é amiga da utada hikaru então não vamos colocar uma contra a outra blz) e sua discografia de sucessos, excessos e retrocessos (só retrocessos musicais pois felizmente sempre engajada e progressista!)
💿 A SONG FOR ×× (1999)

pouco aventuroso, de faixas típicas j-pop/rock do fim da década de 90, saindo do eurodance do jpop de 1995-97 (ex.: globe e namie amuro). destaque pra faixa título e sua letra apocalíptica que catapultou o cd de singles flopadinhos a um grande sucesso.
🎵 A SONG FOR ××

escrita pouco após a morte de sua avó – justo no dia de gravação de seu 1º single, "poker face" –, que a criou e encorajou ser cantora, é divisor de águas em sua carreira. a letra que derrama tristeza e incerteza d'uma recém adulta em caos e dor ressoa até hoje.
