Conservatives ask me if I want to sleep with men now. Liberals ask me if I like Taylor Swift now. The answer to both is no.

There's nothing quite like the high of a successful medical appointment where the doctor believes you and has a plan moving forward. 🥹

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.

Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

This is true of most disabilities. People think they’re the exception. That we’ve done something “wrong”. It’ll be different for them

Disability can & does happen to everyone.

If MAHA truly wanted to tackle the chronic illness epidemic, they would provide the following:

Free respirators, Covid/flu tests and vaccines

Clean air in public spaces

Paid time off & paid childcare

Mandatory masking in
healthcare

Universal healthcare & basic income

A new acrostic to remember measles symptoms:

R - rash
F - fever (high)
K - Koplik spots (in the mouth)

J - conJunctivitis
r - runny nose

So it may help you remember, too!

In front of Wendy's ad announcing that they're new limited Thin Mint Frosty, a QR code to buy girl scout cookies is pasted. The words read "Might need to top this with actual Thin Mints" the link above reads a link with the text "Vienna can hook you up." I'm sorry this alt text is weird. I'm high

Why the Flashes App is Renewing My Hope in Federated Social Media The Dream of Federated Social Media For years, the idea of federated social media has been floating around as this idealistic vision of a better internet—one where you actually own your identity and ...

Tried out @flashes.blue in beta, and… even though it looks like just another image-sharing app, the way it works under the hood is nudging closer to my ideal social media experience.

Kiddo has RSV. I'm just glad it's not happening back when her lungs sucked.

This is like an In Memoriam scroll at the Oscars but for industries that are about to die

Hi, I am @motherjones.com' disability reporter. In the following weeks, I am very interested in hearing how tariff nonsense impacts getting your meds and medical equipment. My email to get in touch is jmetraux@motherjones.com. Reposts appreciated.

Your regular reminder that Art of the Deal was ghostwritten and Donald Trump has filed for bankruptcy six times.

A white woman recently took to TikTok in shock after being fired.

She expressed surprise, believing perhaps that DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) hires were exclusively people of color.

However, a lesser-known fact is that white women are the largest demographic of DEI hires in the U.S.

On this dark day it's crucial to follow #feminist journalists, activists, scholars, artists, and comics who help us understand our structural problems and offer solutions--roadmaps toward freedom, justice.

Washington National Cathedral Bishop Calls Out Trump to His Face Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, a bishop at Washington National Cathedral, made a plea to President Donald Trump during her sermon on Tuesday.

"In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and independent families — some who fear for their lives."

OK WELL SINCE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT EMRYOS

Here's a story about my children who, in spite of the fact they were born two years apart, are CONVINCED they're twins

They came to me, with their evidence & I, thinking scientists would laugh with me, tweeted about it

It did not go how I thought it would

Take back your attention.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

they know it's a Nazi salute, otherwise why do this?
