Are you familiar with the Wendy McElroy? I’m so sorry to bring her existence to your attention but she wrote a book defending porn as something feminist, and considers herself an ‘individual feminist’. I’ve gone down a rabbit hole and I am so. Wow.

No I'm not and I'm preserving my sanity by not looking her up.

Things I refuse to publicly discuss (so don't ask):

  • Lindsay Clancy
  • "Is it sexist for Jon Ossoff to name-check Natalie?"
  • DSA membership demographics
  • Corsets
  • Trans issues et.al

There are definitely other things but off the top of my head!!

sounds fake but i've had good luck with a little plastic shark tank device called the "Bug Bite Thing". at the very least it cuts down on the time that the bug bite is super itchy, and also provides a peculiar distraction while it is itching like mad.

Oooh

Oof my husband is also mosquito magnet and finds hydrocortisone kinda useless for the itch. However we've had very good luck with the "CVS extra strength itch relief gel" esp if it's applied right away. And as I'm sure you know the less you itch it the less it may scar

Thank you, that helps! I'll pick some up on my way to work today.

Looks like Florida Democrats are doing what they do best: nominating candidates who are much too liberal for the state. We saw it back in 2018 with Andrew Gillum, and tonight, it's deja vu with Angie Nixon.

Do you worry that as the Democratic Party continues to shrink, it will only solidify this pattern of Progressives winning Dem primaries? Feels like it will end up being a self-reinforcing cycle.

Well Vindman wouldn't have won either in the case of Florida, but he'd have lost by less.

I've been saying for years that the Democratic Party base has gotten very progressive, and now we're going to see what happens in competitive races against Republicans.
