Must-read on Mothers' Day 👀

"Why do not the mothers of mankind interfere … to prevent the waste of human life? … "Arise, women! Say firmly: ‘We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies."
-- Julia Ward Howe 1870

"Howe had it translated into French, Spanish, Italian, German, Swedish & distributed as widely as possible. She believed that her Women’s Peace Movement would be the next great development in human history, ending war…"

Remember Senator Katie Britt, who delivered that bizarre, melodramatic televised response to Biden's 2024 State of the Union address? The one with the creepy 'baby-fundie" voice'?

She's introduced a bill to create a federal website to collect data on pregnant people.

"… The bill would also allow government officials to reach out to users for additional information."

I think I may vomit.

Folks, if you're still giving your $ to The New York Times, you might want to reconsider. Have you noticed what they're doing with your money?

🇨🇦 Monday, MPs will vote on a motion in support of Palestine, to stop the sale of Cdn arms to the Israeli military, recognize Palestinian statehood, & help bring an end to the Israeli govt’s assault on civilian life.

It will be the first opportunity for MPs to vote on Gaza as individuals – rather than towing the party line. If we can flood them with emails calling on them to support the motion, it could happen.

Please, sign & share the non-partisan LeadNow letter:

@futurebird Hi. I once asked you how to parse/pronounce your user ID. (I don't think ypu replied).

Since then, I came across the root "myrme" somewhere else, which gave me a handle on it, and introduced me to new facts about ants. So it seems the "propagandist" part is working. 😂

@deborahh @futurebird
Where does the username come from, BTW?
I just bout it as ant-related since ant in Swedish is "myra". But, it's not the Latin name?

@Gurre @deborahh

I made it up back when I was on twitter and someone said "your account is nothing but pro ant propaganda."

I thought this was so funny I changed my name to "myrmepropagandist."

Please don't take this wrongly. It's great that a school gets this, let alone that it's a Bronx medical college.

But education needing largesse like that from an individual shows how deeply broken our view of holding wealth has become.

Holding wealth is one thing, when it is kept in proportion. However, we are, and for a long time have been, a country that WITHHOLDS wealth, in that it allows mega accumulation of wealth to the top tier, while constantly pruning the wealth allowed the bottom of wage earners.

This 'charity' depends on an uncharitable system.

"When Chengdu won the bid for the 2023 Worldcon & admin. of the 2023 Hugos, many in SF/F had concerns. China is known to have strict censorship rules, & real consequences …

… books that many expected to be on the longlist weren’t, ex: Babel by R.F. Kuang … but Worldcon said nothing about why.

@deborahh Yes, the Hugos are an institution, but the Sad Puppies proved that institution is vulnerable. We can’t protect the Hugos from exploitation, but we can protect ourselves. There’s a quote from Robert Heinlein’s ‘Expanded Universe’ that always stuck with me: The man who can’t be blackmailed, won’t be blackmailed. Modernized, the phrase would be: if we can’t be manipulated, we won’t be manipulated.
