I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.
bitch it's March?
I'm NO (NEGATIVE)
Frodo: I wish so much unbelievably stupid shit had not happened in my time Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. This is all exceptionally stupid, though

I lost my cat today. He was my first cat - I had him for 11 years, & I loved him SO much. I'm absolutely ruined; he's always been with me. I haven't really been an adult without him.
If anyone has any advice beyond the traditional "give it time", I'd deeply appreciate it.
narrative of hosting an admin party for everyone to sit together with snacks, be merry, pay bills and make doctors appointments and manage life
props to WSJ for once on a useful notion, ADMIN PARTY for everybody
agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish
schumer: don't worry, I've got us right where they want us
Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶
Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.
Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.
i've been sick like 2x in the past 5 years (as far as tests could tell, neither time was COVID). i'm probably never gonna stop carrying masks and wearing them when i'm around others or indoors
(but i would really like if public indoor venues took air filtration and other remediation more seriously)
thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.
now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.
can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.
Super critical. Also an important time to remind people that primary care docs and other community health workers in many states can provide utility shutoff protection letters if you have a qualifying medical condition, an infant <12 months old, or are 65+
Are you fucking kidding me. Fuck every single person involved in this!!!!
I work with some progressive advocacy groups and the way some of these people absolutely refuse to use anything other than the strictest, most factual language makes me want to pull my hair out.
Your opponents are literally lying 24/7, y'all can't use a little hyperbole to help yourselves?!
This is exactly what I saw & heard from others at the protests
everything is so fucking stupid
One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.
I have some beautiful one on one connections - but as soon as any kind of group situation occurs, I immediately start feeling out of place
and I'm just tired and sad about it
going to be a little self pitying for a minute - I'm just so truly, deeply tired of feeling like there's nowhere and no group of people I actually fit in with
An adorable male downy woodpecker sitting on a blue perch at a bird feeder. It is a small black and white patterned bird with a white belly and a red dot on the back of its head. It is in profile but turned a little more towards the camera.
A bright red male cardinal sitting on a blue bird feeder perch. It looks like he is examining the camera in profile - his head is closer to the camera than his body.
A blue jay sitting in profile on a blue perch on a bird feeder, with a large peanut clutched in the tip of his long, sharp looking black beak. He almost looks like he's been caught and is surprised.
I got one of those camera bird feeders as a gift and it is bringing me SO much joy
The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.
Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.
Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.
NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.
A morning reminder that if the senator you're trying to reach isn't answering the phone, you can FAX many of them FOR FREE from whatever device you're reading this on. Do you know annoying and attention-getting it is to get faxes? faxzero.com/fax_senate.php
Also, fuck daylight savings
