you know what? you don't have to vote for kamala. you also don't need to return the cart to its place after using it, you don't need to cover your cough, and you don't need to flush after using the toilet.

Reminder that the international community all understood that Israel was "owed" a retaliatory strike after they struck in Iran earlier this year, but the US pleaded with and Warned them not to because it would hurt ceasefire talks in Palestine that the US was ostensibly working real hard on. And Iran listened, partly because they actually did not want to escalate. They're outmatched militarily by Israel and they know it.

And now we're here, after Israel has continued its genocide in Palestine and invaded Lebanon. The US's only action has been move troops to the region to defend Israel.

In a post-truth world, where emotional appeal sometimes drowns out factual accuracy, the humanities are our compass. They help us question the narratives we’re presented with, cultivate empathy, and dig deeper into the layers of truth behind media, politics, and culture.

By embracing literature, history, and the arts, we enhance our critical thinking and foster a connection to the human stories that shape our collective experience. 💭

Check out our latest blog post on how the humanities equip us to navigate the complexities of a world filled with conflicting truths.

Tfw you suck at your job and expect the second most powerful person in the world to also suck at her job :(

Critical support for Kamala Harris scaring her staffers into doing their highly lucrative jobs instead of gossiping with reporters at Bullfeathers’

My state is ruby red. Last week, I put up a Harris-Walz sign in my front yard up close to the porch. Every couple days, as I got braver, I moved it a few feet closer to the street where the visibility is better. Two days ago, my sign achieved its curbside position with maximum visibility.

Yesterday, I was out digging in my front yard (I'm rewilding my lawn) and a truck pulled over. A 62-year-old woman gets out, thanks me for my sign, and admits how scared she is to put up her own Democratic lawn sign. She's a registered Republican who hasn't voted for Republicans in more than a decade. We talked for half an hour and I just texted her about the VP Debate watch party this Tuesday.

Things learned:

Not all registered Republicans are actually Republicans.

Boomers and Gen X age voters are changing their minds.

Having a yard sign makes a difference.

Even ruby red states are more purple than you might think.
