shakatanyCame across a couple of sites that sound interesting and thought I'd share.
The first is Lablit.com: the culture of science in fiction & fact. I've been going through the archive and reading various essays and peeking in in the humor section too. A section called Natural Habitat had a link to Improbable Research with its Astrology Chart for Bacteria--Lol.
Next comes My Left Wing with its motto--Rage, rage against the Lying of the Right. It's where I came across this quote by David Podvin: "Roe v. Wade is the revolutionary declaration that defies history to assert women are not brood mares. Although the issue is misrepresented as being exclusively about abortion, the real point of contention has always been female autonomy. Distaff independence is a frighteningly subversive concept so religious traditionalists have waged a terrorist campaign that has effectively negated Roe in most of America. Now, federally guaranteed reproductive freedom will be officially confiscated, the victim of Republican malevolence and Democratic indifference. Soon, other protections for the traditionally oppressed will experience a similar fate courtesy of the Roberts Court." The fundamentalist power grab is like a tidal wave which is not apparent until it hits the shore. This movement has been building for the past couple of decades and is now making landfall, sweeping away all in it's path to power so it can re-make America in its own image--scary.
