Ex Google SWE, neurospicy, + many other things that fuel me to endure, defend, and call out during the US autocracy. Self care is a form of resistance, especially among queer and BIPOCs. People don't want us to exist and yet we do. No LGB without the T

DXM, not DMX.

Not the DMX part, but the bupropion part. It gave me migraines, didn't work for one relative, but worked for another.

Beijing... Which is notorious for having lead products despite regulations. They've got a California presence, though, so I need to look into reporting them.

I may need to get some of this. Back in my childhood, we had these white sticks that would turn pink when lead was detected, but this seems far more accurate.

Not to mention babies gumming everything, including the outside of the bottles.

The generation that knew about the dangers of lead paint and in gasoline is slowly dying off. I'm not even sure I've told my kids about the dangers of lead because it's been removed from so many places I encountered it as a child.

Oh. My. God. 😱

Can she ban the bots? Does she need someone to gift her a script to automatically ban them or auto reply that they are a bot?

Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice.

Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.

You should trust that they know more sex workers than you and are, in fact, the experts on it, being immersed in the industry.

Why do you think you don't have something to learn from their expertise?

We don't need music nor art by your beliefs. You don't need sex work. But you're only one person.

Not doughy. Not millennial. Not using neopronouns. But good try for your failed ad hominem attempt.

I've noticed you aren't replying to the actual strippers in this post who are telling you that you are wrong. I wonder why. πŸ€”

*Raises hand* I wrote an article about this very thing happening in the 1920s.

People worry 'moderate' Democrats are the same as Republicans. Our study shows they're right Men who refer to themselves as 'moderate' or 'centrist' score basically the same on values and opinions as peopleΒ who identify themselves as 'conservative'

Before you let them force you to vote for Newsom read this, then push back

Libraries absolutely stood up to unreasonable search of patrons' checkout history and internet usage back in 2001.

Because of the PATRIOT Act, libraries stopped recording some information due to the act allowing secret fishing expeditions.

Republicans are very good at propaganda and fearmongering.

A relative of mine is considering leaving Washington because of "communist" Democrats and "illegal, unconstitutional, collectivist directions".

Taxes. He means taxes.

"Minimizers" have existed for decades. Marketing as such would not be anything new.

Underwear doesn't mutilate children.

Cis girls will still get to buy minimizer bras (which have existed for decades) so this is yet another discriminatory TRO.

No one is "transitioning" their child. Conversely, "conversion therapy" exists for cis religious extremists and causes psychological harm.

I am literally begging folks to look at this. This is my home and they want to destroy large swathes of it. Our old growth is irreplaceable and some of the places they want to do this to are places very special to me.

Renee Good was also shot at point-blank range through her side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger

Alex Pretti wasn’t in a car, but he too was shot at point-blank range by an ICE agent who was in no danger

It seems every time ICE kills someone they lie to cover up shooting innocent people

Hegseth wants to erase history, including all the Chinese immigrants who came here a full 3 generations ago and built the railroads (and 2 generations ago fought in WW2) and certainly weren't Christian nor "Western".

This is fascist propaganda from the DoD.

(in kind of mint green on pink and white on periwinkle sort of)

4 p.m. Saturday in Minnesota Abolish ICE (in kind of mint green on pink and white on periwinkle sort of)

It is after 4 p.m. in Minnesota on a Saturday.

I hope you've had a meal or two already today or some quality snacks. Remember to eat.

Also be sure to drink plenty of water and take any meds you need.

Take some breaks, have some fun, help your neighbors . . .

Hang in there. πŸ’œ

Fuck ICE.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

I see some on this site have decided to blame Harris for everything Trump has done. Remember how people did that in Trump 1, and how it was an effective strategy then, too?

These takes are gonna get more and more people killed if the left doesn’t start getting its shit together to defeat fascism.
