this has the same energy as when people would come in petsmart and ask me if we shaved the hairless guinea pigs. Ma’am I make $14 an hour. The skinny pigs barely let me take them out of the cage to replace their bedding. They came like that 🤦‍♀️

I don’t know if I’ll write anything about the new T. Swift record, but I love @annkpowers.bsky.social review for NPR. It’s very thoughtful without being pejorative, and I’m probably going to be studying it for days 😅

P.S. never let anyone make you feel bad for liking what makes you happy!

Establishing the President's Make America Healthy Again Commission By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.

I have a chronic illness. I take an SSRI. According to the Trump administration, that makes me a threat to society.

Please, I beg of you, consider whose banners you so proudly display.

Establishing the President's Make America Healthy Again Commission By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.

This is a manifesto against disability.

This is the language of eugenics.

Ohhhhh that’s new! I do think there is also a banana guy? And I’ve been told it’s better to play as a girl because they are faster. I don’t know what to make of that.

I think the “map” (the world you play in) is different? I’ve had this explained to me multiple times and I don’t really understand more than that 😅

a dilute calico cat sprawled across a table basking in the sunshine with a vase of flowers in the background

I don’t know how to fix what happened today, or even how to address it, but I figure the internet could always use more cat pics. Here’s a picture of my cat, Blossom. She doesn’t know what a president is, and if she did I think she’d assume the position.

not to be that guy but there is an entire movie about how this won’t work (and I bet her AI doesn’t sound like Scarlett Johansson!)
