This is shameful and will do real harm to people like me whose lives have been changed for the better by these medications. This absolutely puts profits over patients. Apparently obesity is a public health epidemic until it comes to covering the first effective treatment for it in our lifetimes.

Had eye doctor appointment today. Came to the point where I need to buy contacts. I demurre, fully planning on going to Costco. Woman looked me straight in the eye and said “I can beat Costco’s price.” And readers, she did. 🤣

Boomer parents will be casually talking to you about nothing of importance and then drop in a “by the way I’m having cataracts surgery tomorrow and your dad is having carpal tunnel surgery in a few weeks”

Ah, so it is. Reported!

If you are “concerned” for trans and nonbinary individuals then you understand that they are women and belong in women’s spaces. That’s the crux of our disagreement here. No further dialog is needed if we can’t agree on that point.

The voices of the college’s trans and nonbinary students and alumni and the alumni, staff, and faculty who support them are being erased by this administration every day, so spare me your pearl clutching. But what a good little foot solder for Mary Pope you’re being.

She is advancing a bigoted and uniformed policy that needed no clarification or changes to begin with. And it was done in secret, not disclosed to donors and stakeholders until after the end of year and reunion fundraising efforts, and only made public because of whistleblowers.

This alumna who is so fucking angry about what’s happening to the students, faculty, and staff at her formerly amazing college thanks you and supports you.

Just emotional (protest?) ordered an Easter hamper from Fortnum & Mason because honestly I enjoy international trade and easy access to quality British goods and the irony of me buying tea that my government just put a tarif on is not lost to me.

Hey folks.
This needs to be said.
Loudly.

Crawford's win in Wisconsin is a big deal.

Democracy beat bribery.

A Democrat won a heated electoral contest.

Public opinion was against Musk/DJT.

We are in the midst of a struggle, and it sure as hell isn't over.

I may not live in NJ right now, but it is, and will always be, my home. Exceptionally proud of @booker.senate.gov and Andy Kim today.

Oh, that’s very good. They had a little candle to light in the lobby so you knew but some lady jumped ahead of me while I was trying to pay and it was so awful to watch them bring him in crying and they went right in to the room we were just in and still standing next to and it was too much 😭

As a plus size wide calf rider new tall boots are a mildly terrifying prospect (especially if you last wore tall boots about 20 years ago) but I just impulse bought boots on sale from Dover and they might fit? Probably not. 🤣

Took the kits to the vet today for their checkup and rabies shot and the poor people after us were saying goodbye to their pup and it was so very sad it made me cry.

Like core revolting memory no wonder we’re all not right in the head.

Sometimes I think about how I was in grade school & the school nurse came to our classroom once a week with a bottle of fluoride and we all had to suffer through swishing that hellish liquid until we were told we could stop and now idiots are just taking it out of drinking water.

Your historian friends are not doing ok right now. Actually it’s been pretty shit since 2016.

Like, gutting sad. Poor Bunny.

Yes, I am so nerding out on this season. I’m so glad I decided to binge.

It really is. Surprisingly so. I’m halfway through season three but I’ve been hit in the gut a bunch of times by the themes, etc. Bunny’s last day episode was rough. But the two of them are just squee worthy, truly.

It is very possible I now have a parasocial relationship with Martin Short and Meryl Streep as a couple after watching them in Only Murders but they are SO CUTE GUYS.

I literally just got a “but her emails!” while arguing with a republican over this and yes, yes I do. So you agree this is on the same level? So there should be the same amount of outrage? Cool, cool.

Honestly considering getting a king bed so there’s more room for the cats. 🤣

A lot of men my age are mad a large percentage of women don't want or need them due to our financial independence.

Too many people think fascism looks like The Empire in Star Wars but it's usually pure Spaceballs

Whether it’s pro-Palestinian protesters being deported or Tesla owners being mocked on social media, people on both sides of the political spectrum are being targeted for simply expressing themselves.

Here in Boston it’s also Evacuation Day, which is celebrated with a day off only in Boston and Suffolk County, which seems awfully convenient. 🤣

This is exactly what I have been saying for a while now. At this point, it’s not left vs right that matters, but fighters vs non-fighters. The Dems, and the American people, need fighters.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Chuck Schumer, the top Democrat in the Senate, just caved—again.

His support for the Republican CR plan isn’t leadership; it’s surrender. He’s not fighting for the American people. He’s propping up policies that will hurt us.
