The fact that Gloria Steinem ADMITTED to informing to the CIA on the actions of her black radical comrades and is still considered to be a relevant and respectable feminist figure just goes to show the reactionary character of liberal feminism.
💩💩💩

I can’t actually find a source for this? She’s admitted that the CIA funded some of her actions as like “cultural outreach” in areas where they thought Russia/communism might have influence (which is it’s own problem), but I can’t find any sources on her being an informant, let alone admitting to it.

I’m watching a doc about judy garland and wow gay men love her

fun fact gay men used to refer to themselves as “friends of dorothy” when it was still illegal to be gay because garland was so popular in the queer male community but ONE TIME the NIS was investigating homosexual affairs and they kept coming across the term and they thought there was some mysterious figure, some woman named dorothy, and they were like “we gotta find her and convince her to tell us which members of the navy are gay!” and essentially began a manhunt for dorothy from the wizard of oz

#we’ll get you my pretty #and your little gays too

Incidentally Stonewall happened the day after Judy Garland died, and people were in mourning and that’s part of the reason why people were like “NOT TODAY!”

This is specifically for expenses that will probably arise when my daughter receives her kidney transplant (whether living or deceased). It’s a three to four month stay across the state; even if her brothers and our dog end up staying with my mom or with a trustworthy sitter, it’s essentially maintaining two separate households for a quarter of the year. Even staying at the Ronald McDonald House (as I plan to), living expenses (like groceries) will come up. If possible, the Ronald McDonald House requests $20/night from people staying there. I’ve already run into unexpected co-pays from labs.

So as always, if you can donate that’s greatly appreciated; if you can’t, a reblog is also great. Share this far and wide on your social media if you can.

I have deleted my other post and campaign to consolidate with this one. (And I greatly appreciate everyone who donated and shared that one).

People are also stepping forward to see if they’re a possible donor match, and that’s wonderful. Hopefully that’ll make this happen sooner rather than later, or at least on a manageable schedule, if it happens. Donors need to between 21-45, in reasonably good health, and O+ blood type. If this is something you’re interested, please contact the University of Washington’s living donor program at 206-598-3627, and mention you’re interested in donating to Dessie McAdams. That begins the process.

She is now officially on the transplant list! She is on-hold status, accruing time. They want to do some more bladder studies, their nephrologist wants to take out her less functional kidney and is going to consult with her local nephrologist about whether to take it out prior to transplant or during, and she needs some additional vaccines.

We’re in the prep stage, basically.

Thank you so much everyone who has donated, reblogged and shared this! Please continue to keep this circulating.

Please, please keep boosting and circulating this. My children no longer want to see my ex-husband, and I am afraid he will follow through on the eviction threats he and his family have made since I initiated divorce.

Fucking help with this people!

that demands self-denial and scarcity, suck.

Like to do you seriously not believe in technological solutions to resource problems?

Are you a fucking primmie?

i believe that a significant amount of productive capacity will, over the next few centuries, have to be dedicated on effectively repaying the massive overdraft we’ve aleady drawn on the natural resources of the earth. this means letting arable land lie fallow, drastically easing off on rare earth processing (and therefore computer production), along with petrochemical extraction and all forms of heavy industry. i literally wouldn’t be surprised if we see a re-intensification of agriculture in teerms of human labour, given that supplies of inputs like fertilizer and gasoline will probably decrease.

obviously, if we take a flying leap into replicators and chemical computers and ftl and fusion and space elevators then shit becomes a lot easier, but i’m not willing to place my faith in what could just end up being a pipe dream.

Fertilizer is literally endlessly renewable

https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4166 and we’ve got a lot of possibilities in terms of new power sources so… no, and like we can recycle the metals from extant computers so naaahhhhh

look, all resources are enddlesslly renewable given enough time. it’s the tempo and energy required for that renewal that determine efficiency, and modern methods of productiong fertilizer are inefficient and depend on massive fossil fuel inputs, and the end products also cause significant envrionmental damage. now it just so happens that shit is an excellent fertilizer, but re-estabilishing a shit-slinging industry (complete with distribution mechanisms) doesn’t exactly strike me as very FALC.

linking me that skeptoid piece was honestly a little insulting. why on earth would i be advoating some kind of nonsensical idealist ~organic~ bullshit? read robert biel’s the political eceonomy of food (which i would be happy to summarize) then get back to me.

re new power sources, unless someone’s figured out how to make orbiting mirros cheap and junkproof or made some huge advance in fusion, i’m just not seeing it tbh. miracles can occur, but i’m still not gonna assume they will.

Did you read the article?

I didn’t think you were advocating organic agriculture but they have a very good examination of the process of producing fertilizer

yeah, i did read the article, and because it sucked it neglected to mention that the nitrogen has to be paired with ammonia, which is extracted from natural gas.

Yeaah we’re getting good results working ways around that now http://biomassmagazine.com/articles/3503/renewable-nitrogen-fertilizer-production
