Margarita Satini was a civil activist for Utah’s Pacific Islander community. She passed away from Covid-19. May she rest in peace, and may her activism inspire us all. The world requires us to be civically engaged, indeed. I keep drilling this into my students’ heads. You need to learn to think critically. THAT is why […]
20 years later this still makes my heart hurt. Rest in Peace to all the victims of 9/11.
Any time I talk to conspiracists I ask, Ok so who is behind it and what is their motivation? 9/10 they won’t answer, because of course the next question is going to be: Ok so show me the evidence. The 1/10 there is an answer, it is 100% the Jews (yet with zero evidence). Seriously, […]
Evil never sleeps. But they will probably be allowed to do this, because just like with women, children are not protected by the 14th amendment.

The Request for Information, or RFI, offers an opportunity for the community to provide information to NASA about potential interest in affiliating with one or […]
Schools still do this BTW. In 2021, with a pandemic still raging, with kids only coming in to buildings a few days a week. Still policing girls’ clothes. What a strange world we live in…girls in the USA today have to endure this while seeing female Olympic athletes on the world stage get fined for […]
Miranda Yardley is a transwoman who is standing up for women. Respect. She makes twelve well-thought out points with supportive evidence, that women have been saying over and over only to be met with hostility and attack and accusations of bigotry. This is one: To accept that sex and gender are not the same thing. Sex […]
This young lady has an amazing story of bravery and perserverance: Mardini’s house was destroyed in the Syrian Civil War.[7] Mardini and her sister Sara decided to flee Syria in August 2015.[8] They reached Lebanon, and then Turkey, where they arranged to be smuggled into Greece by boat with 18 other migrants,[8] though the boat was meant to be used by no more than 6 […]
