This explains a lot. I volunteered as a reading buddy for first and second graders for years and couldn’t figure out why none of the kids I worked with understood anything about how to sound out a word they didn’t know.

Psychiatrists/NPs/therapists who could provide off-the-books, no-fee, Zoom-based care for individuals in crisis in ICE-targeted Chicago communities, please email me: s.ericreinhart@gmail.com. Include whether you can prescribe, speak Spanish (or other languages), and available hours per week/month.

Fuck, I have been buying from iHerb for years and I had no idea Dr. Oz had a stake in them. Adding them to my boycott list and telling them why I will never shop there again.

I have a playlist and a bottle of tequila on standby.

I absolutely wore surgical masks when I was flying prior to 2020 because I was tired of getting sick every time I was on a plane. Now that I am wearing N95s everywhere indoors, I haven’t had so much as the sniffles since 2019.

Of all the weeks to be separated from my cat while he is isolated at the emergency vet after radioactive iodine therapy. I get daily update texts and they had to give him an appetite stimulant yesterday because he was anxious and not eating. Hopefully he can come home on Monday.

I block everyone who posts a graphic about how they are going to steal someone’s meme. Just the most boring, useless “content” cluttering everything up.

Got my playlist ready, just in case.

Looks like we’re all former smokers now.

My husband and I have been keeping a bottle of tequila on hand for celebratory shots.

Stop asking billionaires questions, recording their answers and sharing their uninformed and/or racist and/or otherwise bigoted and nonsense ideas as journalism. It’s ridiculous. They are the most boring people. Oh wah I am a white man who has more money than I can spend and I’m so mad about it!

I get along just fine without shopping at Target, Walmart, or Amazon.

Former NYC resident shedding tears in the Southeast. Solidarity!

An impending heat wave is the only thing that will make me meal prep because I can’t stand using the oven when it is 100+ degrees. I’ve got baba ganoush, hummus, boiled eggs, pesto pasta salad, and Greek salad dressing prepped. Pita bread from Aldi + lettuce from my CSA and I am set for the week.

Your Next Instant Pot Might Be Made by Donald Trump America has become a parody of itself.

Adding Instant Pot to my boycott list. “According to Semafor, this “collaboration with representatives of the Trump administration” will see “a portion of the profits” go to the Trump Presidential Library. Already wrote to IP to tell them why they’ll never see another dime from me. #gofashlosecash

Rosemary’s Baby.

This in the UK and not the US, but it serves as a reminder that no one should be using a period tracking app. Use a paper calendar like we did back in the day and make up a code for the days you have sex and days you have your period.

Obsessed with Vanessa Redgrave’s outfit in Blow-Up. Iconic.

I advocate for due process for Kilmer Abrego García, bitch.

Budget airline Avelo to fly deportation flights for ICE from Arizona Budget carrier Avelo Airlines says it has signed an agreement to fly deportation flights from Arizona starting in May

If you ever have the opportunity to fly Avelo Airlines—don’t.

I sold all my ETFs and individual stocks during that bump right after the election. I regret nothing.

I love you, Wisconsin! SUCK IT, ELON!

I bought Twitter for $44,000,000,000 and sold it back to myself for $33,000,000,000. I have 43 kids and no friends. Everything I make explodes

Reposing what @juliadoubleday.bsky.social posted on X: There is an obsession (especially in the media) w creating a false dichotomy between ppl whose bodies already express the harm of multiple covid infections and those whose bodies aren’t yet doing that (or they aren’t aware of it). It’s false

Wow.

Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC.

“I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!”

Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out.

We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

Same here. I cut my spending to bare essentials only after the election, and the rest of my money goes straight to the emergency fund.

Since Trump has claimed Elon doesn’t run DOGE, we wanted to make sure you know who is running our government. This list has been updated with 15 names.

Currently reading: Dead in Long Beach, California by Venita Blackburn. This is the first book I’ve read in print in a minute, but my library doesn’t have it on Libby.

I just got a ham radio license. Gun is next. It feels like a good time to learn new skills.
