[aside cont: if a #family wants to be together—whatever their makeup, that is great. If a committed non-cis-hetero couple devotes itself to family & kids—lucky #kids. If a family decides that what is best for all involved is to not be together, in my experience [particularly in domestic #abuse (physical or emotional) situations, or #loveless ones] that is wonderful too—it acknowledges an awareness of what is best for the #children. And if a person chooses to not procreate, that is their #CHOICE]

Today in Labor History March 22, 1972: U.S. Congress sent the Equal Rights Amendment to the states for ratification. It failed. And to this day, women earn 84% of what men do. One of the exceptions is public education, where teachers’ unions have fought and won the right to collectively bargain salaries based on years of experience, not gender. The first ERA was introduced to Congress in 1923. The 1972 had wide bipartisan support, including by presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter, and seemed destined to pass. However, Phyllis Schlafly mobilized conservative women against the amendment, arguing that it would disadvantage housewives, make them eligible for the draft and cause divorcees to lose custody of their children. This killed the ERA in the 1970s. From 2017-2020, several states have ratified the ERA. However, it is uncertain whether these ratifications are legal, since they occurred after the deadlines. Schlafly went on to become a major player in the anti-abortion and anti-feminist and anti-LGBTQ rights movements.

Good morning, Lovely Peeps! 🌻

A bit of fun from a few years ago. (Artwork unknown, but text by @ThisIsJimTait from Twitter)

You can only choose 3 potions & the effects are permanent. (Think carefully about this!)

A few creator clarifications:

Black includes "no facial hair at all" as an ideal beard for those people that is ideal for.

Purple is "anywhere with the facilities for planes to land, take off, & be maintained. You can take anything you are personally carrying. Meant so you can go to almost any major city, but not to just any building.

One thing I most like about this particular version is that it really does offer something for everyone.

Yes, some are meant to be funny, & some are definitely (in my mind) Monkey's Paw curses (!) - but most can be seen as poignant & deeply yearned for by the right person. 💛

An illustration of a dozen short, round bottles, with cork stoppers. Each is filled with a different-coloured liquid. The text reads "You can only choose three potions" and under each bottle is a description of what that potion will do. Pink: Never sleep and always feel rested. Orange: Speak every language. Green: All felines like you, upon meeting you. Blue: You can record things perfectly in your memory, at will. Purple: You can teleport to any airport. Gray: Things taste (to you) however you want them to. Red: Your body temperature never changes. Brown: All insects avoid you. White: Things you kick three times turn into cheese. Yellow: Fairies finish your chores. Light green: Identify the emotions of anyone you talk with. Black: Grow your ideal beard.

Who here feels like they are subjectively too NICE? Or that it might be better for themselves to be less NICE? 🙂

(This question focuses on your personal feelings, not the impact on the world)
