For real though, someone with measles was at the Walmart near me on the second of this month, and the post office on the ninth. π

Measles! at the Walmart
Long may he reign.
I'm not looking forward to the Israel/Isral conflict over which is a real country.

When did Egypt get an Upper Peninsula?
When I look back at the exhaustion that led me to Weiss' red pill, I now roll my eyes at the "pity party" (to quote my mom) I threw for myself. You feel like the modern feminist movement is bailing out the Titanic with a teaspoon? Babe, the suffrage movement took hundreds of years. As did Emancipation and Civil Rights and queer rights. It's been less than 50 years since Indigenous people in this country finally received legal protection for their traditional ceremonies. Movements take time, and their uncertainties or losses don't make them less worthy of our participation. What's more, despite the gains many of these groups have made, systemic oppression still exists and, I believe, if this current administration has its way, it will only grow stronger and more dangerous for marginalized people - and in turn, all of us. The struggle for equality and equity is by no means over. These fights continue, and no matter how admittedly messy or disappointing the progressive movement's approach can sometimes be, I want to be a part of it. This requires I keep faith, use my voice and commit to action when possible - practices that are, in my experience, much more stabilizing than a pill.

Notice where she didnβt initially turn? To intersectional resources with lived experiences and academic expertise.
To orgs led by the people most harmed.
Thatβs the problem.
Iβm not ready to praise her. But she is an extremely cautionary tale.
Spencer caught ICE trying to turn an American detainee into an immigration snitch (?) in Minneapolis. Details of his interrogation in this amazing Q&A: @attackerman.bsky.social
Once, during a covid-era zoom class she jumped onto my husband who proclaimed "Professor! Get down!" And the instructor teaching the class was like "excuse me?" Hilarious chaos.

The storm we were following last night went on into Kankakee and, after dark, into Indiana where two died. It looks like it cycled a few times and eventually dropped a powerful tornado.
We're expecting a call from the mechanic's shop soon, they open at 8. π
We are safely home, the car got dropped at the mechanic's, having some late dinner. Too much excitement.
A supercell thunderstorm with some grey clouds nearby and blue sky above.
Tow should be here soon. The storm is still going well to our east.
*something not "so watching"
There are red wing blackbirds and eastern meadow larks.
And a strong wind out of the south.
At least we're this side of the warm front.
My hand and my husband's hand holding hailstones. Mine is about the size of a small chickens egg, his is about a billiard ball.
We did find some hailstones!
Our chase is over, so watching happened to a clutch line and the car will not go into gear waiting on a tow. π€
A country road with tall clouds behind some small puffy things.
Just got gas in Streator, trying to stay west of this cell.
Just telling @aviendha69.bsky.social that we don't really chase, but it's SPRING BREAK! (WOOO!) so we're chasing. Lol.

Oh boy
Screenshot of SPC.noaa.gov, the 1 day outlook, showing interstates, state boundaries and significant tornado probability. It looks wild. Please get your weather from actual meteorologists, I'm not one.
I guess now we wait and see how far north the warm air sets itself up. #ILWx
