An obligatory moment of bad press for Facebook and its censorship team comes to us from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
Facebook says it made a mistake in disabling the accounts of an artist who posted images of tattoos that she created for breast cancer survivors following reconstruction. "A member of our team accidentally removed something you posted on Facebook. This was a mistake, and we sincerely apologize for they error," the social media site said in a message to Kerry Soraci. "We've since restored the content, and you should now be able to see it."
The note came after a story about Soraci's accounts was posted on stltoday.com Thursday afternoon, which launched other media inquiries into why Facebook took the action it did. "It is really annoying that we have to go through the media to get them to respond!" Sorachi told the Post-Dispatch Friday morning.
Facebook had disabled Soarci's page, Tattoos by Kerry Soraci, on Dec. 30, saying it did not meet the social media site's "community standards." "Your account has been disabled for not following the Facebook Community Standards, and we won't be able to reactivate it," Facebook's Steven Parker wrote in a response to Soraci. "We disable accounts that solicit others or feature content that is sexually suggestive/contains nudity."

For someone who wants to be a woman you sure seem to hate us. I see shit come out of you I'd expect to hear in some frat house.

Want has nothing to do with it. One teacher even let it slip to me during a group punishment that I didn't act like a boy. Of course, when I was 7, I had no idea that that women viewed such a thing as the equivalent of rape.
I'm fully expecting retaliation from what the Trump administration is going to do, because that's what you cisgendered women do. Consistently. You can't retaliate against somebody in power, so you retaliate against somebody you can. I let it take me by surprise last time.
Why not retaliate against women who believe that you shouldn't have the right to an abortion? I'm pro-choice but like fuck that matters. Why not retaliate against women who actually voted for Trump? I voted for Clinton but like fuck that matters. Why not retaliate against women who don't believe you should have access to preventative health services unless it's ok with your employer? I'm not foolish with my money so I'd rather my taxes pay for that but like fuck that matters.
A lame attempt to be on topic: Why not retaliate against the person who came down on that tattoo artist even if they're a woman?! Especially if they're a woman. How on earth does it do you any good to retaliate against assigned males when there are so many people assigned the female gender at birth who have every disgusting misogynist attitude you can image?!
Once again, my mind control powers fail me. I can't stop the boy in the back of the class from being disruptive, but you punish me anyway. I can't stop the asshole who's putting XTC in drinks on campus, but you make it clear to me that if I'm anywhere near to a woman who may months later claim date rape at the supposed time of the incident, my ass is grass and I've just flushed several thousand dollars down the toilet. I CAN'T STOP FACEBOOK FROM BEING DIPSHITS ABOUT BREAST CANCER. I COULDN'T STOP IT LAST TIME. I COULDN'T STOP IT THIS TIME. I COULDN'T PREVENT THE END OF ROE V. WADE. I COULDN'T FORCE WOMEN TO VOTE FOR CLINTON. I COULDN'T DO JACK SHIT, SO FUCK YOU .

Good grief. March your ass over to the medicine cabinet and take a benadryl, then sleep this off. You are in no shape for further internetting tonight.

What will sleep change? Think I'm drunk or something?

After Friday's inauguration, why wouldn't one be drunk?
Between all the ranting, there is a completely valid point. Intolerance toward minorities such as race, gender, religion (including atheist) and even intellectual is very likely to increase. Sort of a chemical reaction between those who can't do anything about who is in power, and how who is in power more than condones it.

Now IS the time to be sober, unless you plan to go down with a sinking ship.
While the unity concept is right, the problem right now is there has been a polarization in America that we are not going to see dissolve in our lifetimes, perhaps ever. this: https://xkcd.com/1127/ [xkcd.com] succinctly points out why. While the exact demographic split has changed over time, it really shows how the bipolar split in America has continued unabated for almost 250 years.
Given the laws being pushed on both the conservative and liberal sides there will not be a 'Constitutionally Protected' American life to be had in the next 16 years if there ever was.
