I KNOW that MAHA is a form of white supremacy and eugenics. I know that. BUT parents do genuinely generally care about their children's health and there is a real personal self interest angle to be had in making them realize who is really poisoning their kids & what we need to do about it.
really want to get some of the MAHA Moms who think the mercury we took out of vaccines 20 years ago is an urgent health hazard but the mercury we're about to put back into the air itself is fine.
Can we get some of the parents who are convinced seed oils are why their kids are unhealthy to realize that actually pollution is bad for kids?
For the record, Leading Jewish Group JFREJ is very much in favor of Mayor Mamdani hosting Mahmoud Khalil and his family for Iftar.
Treat yourself to an awesome comic today
Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”
He apparently has no idea what a SNAP card is nor how it works.
This phrase is so gross. The violence, the racism and pure ignorance behind assuming an enemy force lacks any agency.
Real fix your hearts or die hours.
So smart. I once caught mild COVID while traveling and spent most of my time in Spain self-quarantining. I mask in airplanes and on crowded trains now. I’m usually not the only person masking.
Accurate.
Where have I been? I've been re-reading the Bendis era of X-Men. We're getting real loosey-goosey about science crimes and if you don't have a crush on Jean Grey she will out you. Simpler times...
Elon Musk is on trial for securities fraud in San Francisco right now.
~40 jurors were dismissed for bias. His lawyers just filed for a mistrial. And the jury has seen emails from his own bankers suggesting he use the threat of walking away to drive down Twitter's price.

Leaky roofs have caused hazards in our workplace. The rain pours down inside the store through the roof in the kitchen, landing on the grill where we are cooking, and on the floor, putting us at risk of fall, electrocution, and burn as well as potential food safety issues.
Anyone who menstruates has plenty of reason to back lots of underwear
How IS your cat and his cat lately?
When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.

I don’t see how you can write this and not tell people to at least mask up on flights and transit so their trip isn’t ruined .

So good! It’s such a perfect song and she does a great job
Country songstress Kacey Musgraves released this well covered 'standard' a year ago. Written & recorded by blind Country singer songwriter Leon Payne in 1948, the best known cover is by Hank Williams although numerous artists have also recorded this song. #CountrySky

If you want to read something by & about me that’s actually sad here’s one I wrote a couple years back. The crisis I wrote about is still entirely present and little has changed.
I may have outsmarted myself in @marchxness.bsky.social by writing possibly the least sad essay in the competition. Eg: turns out there was actually no goth girl with a heroin problem after all! The music you (I) like is good actually! I finally get to record music with friends! Etc
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a @marchxness.bsky.social essay NOT discuss its theme as effectively as @lateration.bsky.social doesn’t talk about Nick Cave here.
Brutal matchup here between Emma’s deeply relatable essay on growing out of + into sadness via a fave millennial depression banger (underrepresented in the bracket imo!) and @lateration.bsky.social’s beautiful (and circumstantially unrelatable) essay around Nick Cave, Nora Ephron, and what we carry
Reading @lateration.bsky.social's essay felt like listening to David Sedaris tell a story (meant as a high compliment, I love going to his readings) with so many great lines jumping out at me, especially "anything where you can hear the artist breathe is sad."
