the big group im trying to look into is where pastors, priests and the like overlap with educational institutions, homeschooling advocacy, and other reactionary political advocacy groups like TPUSA

i keep seeing electoral-grifters pontificating about which sub-group to throw under the bus so we can finally get those D votes we're missing out on. if you're wondering why you can't win, this is it.

i've been doing research on what i'm calling the Conservative Institutional Empire; trying to track smaller names and groups as they morph. changing from name to name. using "credentials" from bullshit titles invented by friends or friends of friends or whatever and it's making me wanna find more comprehensive histories

It’s important to understand that people—not even Homo sapiens!—living at what must have been the subsistence margin, without states or written language or metal tools or electricity or antibiotics, managed to keep this person alive. They devoted resources to his care and survival. He lived for years, possibly decades, with a severe disability at a time when his community would have been doing things like fighting off literal cave bears.

Our society has inconceivably more material, social, and technological resources to bring to bear to help each other. We have no excuse.

More pets go missing around the Fourth of July than any other time of year. If your cat is afraid of fireworks, keep them inside and STAY HOME. Make sure they have cozy places to hide. Play music to help cover the loud noises. Keep windows shut - cats can easily bust through screens if they are scared enough. Draw the curtains to block out flashes of light. Use a calming pheromone diffuser such as feliway if you have one. And if they are up for it, play with them for distraction!
