So…Trump is going to demand Murdoch force his network Fox to ax Tarlov in order to settle his case against his paper, the Wall Street Journal. That’s how this works, right?

Not blonde.
No apparent cosmetic surgery.
First, how did she get hired.
Second, is this just a bit by fRump and Fox?
in reply to George Takei 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽

He doesn't seem to realize that in professional wrestling terms, she's a "heel." She's the villain that makes the show work for the Fox News audience. Given his background and tastes, he should get that.

When I first heard Leonardo da Vinci’s words in a PBS documentary this past winter, “The thing that was given to me by the universe was the chance to question it, and that is my divine duty”, I paused the film.

Not just to write it down.
Not just to let it resonate.
But because in that moment, I felt the full weight of what it means to never have been allowed to see questioning the world as my “divine duty.”

in reply to Kim Crayton ~ Her/She

That kind of freedom, that kind of assumption that your thoughts matter, is the kind of privilege we rarely talk about.

I often wonder what my life, our lives, might look like if we, too, had been allowed to treat exploration as sacred. If the brilliance that comes from pattern recognition, survival, resourcefulness, and intuition was valued in the same way as the brilliance that comes from lineage, legacy, and access.

in reply to Kim Crayton ~ Her/She

What books were never written?
What art never made?
What systems never questioned?
What futures never built?

All because too many of us were taught that our duty wasn’t to question the universe, but to survive it quietly.

Now, as I move through the world, learning, unlearning, re-learning, I realize that what da Vinci called divine duty, I’ve only ever known as an act of resistance.
