Warsaw makes history tonight as millions of women revolt against the government’s control of female bodies.

I know everyone is obsessively refreshing their feeds to find out what’s happening in Nevada, Pennsylvania and Georgia right now, but take a look at what’s happening in Poland.

Poland is 100% f'ing DOING it and I love those protestors SO. DAMN. MUCH.

Adding this because they’re safe for dogs too

How are turkey skin and bones not safe? Please elaborate.

Dunno about skin, but Turkey bones, and avian bones in general, are really easy to shatter. If a dog eats said shards, it could tear up their insides.

Important for all pet users!!

The skin is very fatty and can lead to diarrhea, vomiting, and/or pancreatitis. Pancreatitis can lead to a very expensive hospital stay, and is quite painful. When in doubt, best not to feed human food.

Important PSA for this (and every) holiday season! As someone with dogs and cats in her life, both of these are nice to have on hand!

“Music Played On Wildly Inappropriate Instuments” is my favorite genre of music.

This made me think of all the “rules of etiquette” that my parents and grandparents generation always tried to drill into us but when we asked “why?” all they could answer was “because it’s polite”

So I looked up how these rules got started

-Don’t wear a hat inside: Medieval knights were more vulnerable if they removed their helmets. Because of this, removing it in a church or in the presence of royalty felt like a respectful act of humility. It’s rude to wear a hat indoors because 1500 years ago some soldiers wanted to show God and King that they trusted them not to stab them in the head

-Don’t put your elbows on the table: In the middle ages European royalty didn’t have dining tables in their banquet halls, they used a long board balanced on trestles and covered it with a table cloth. If you leaned on the table it would unbalance and topple. People are still telling kids not to put their elbows on the table because 1500 years ago some nobles didn’t want to be embarrassed by knocking over a make-shift table and ruining a feast

-Men should pull out a woman’s chair for her: There were several periods in Western history when fashion for high society women was so restrictive that they literally couldn’t bend over when dressed for dinner. Men are told it’s polite to pull out a woman’s chair because women used to have to wear clothing that made it impossible to do that herself

It’s 2032. Your pet is curled up by your feet as you settle in to watch the presidential debate. A brilliant young democratic socialist is running for re-election. Her opponent is a boring moderate, and no competition. She schools him easily and it’s entertaining to watch. The debate is really just a formality at this point. The president is expected to win in a landslide.

Your partner brings you a mug of your favorite warm drink and lets you know the monthly basic income checks have arrived. You pay your rent online and relax, knowing you have plenty of money leftover. Rent control laws and student/medical debt forgiveness have allowed you to save up for a downpayment. You and your partner are planning on buying a house next year.

If you decide to have kids, you don’t need to quit your job to take care of them. You and your partner both get one year of paid parental leave for a new baby or adopted child. Daycare has been added to the public school system and is now free. You don’t need to set aside money for them to go to college either. That’s free too.

The extreme wealth tax has paid for improvements to infrastructure nationwide. Nearly every city in America is carbon neutral now. It will be 100% by the end of the decade. Gas stations have all been replaced by electric car charging stations. Parking lots are all covered in solar panels, which also provide shade for cars. Public transportation is so efficient and accessible that few people drive anymore anyway.

Corporate monopolies have been broken up and right to repair laws are being enforced. Most repetitive, back breaking work is done by machines. You can order packages from anywhere whithout worrying about workers being exploited. You can expect your appliances to last for decades now. Manufacturing regulations have improved the quality of everything from clothes to refrigerators.

You are thinking about taking some time off of traditional employment to work on creative projects. Basic income means more people have money to spend on things they enjoy, so you will find more success than you expected. On Saturdays, you can sell your work at the local farmer’s market while your partner browses the booths. Afterwards you will have a picnic at your favorite park.

After the debate you watch an interesting documentary about an extinction reversal project. The ecosystem of North America is being restored to its natural state as much as possible. Passenger pigeons are already being released into the wild and positively impacting the environment. You start planning a summer national park trip.

You fall asleep easily, no major fears weighing on your mind. Life isn’t perfect, but it so much better than it was 12 years ago. It’s only going to keep getting better.
