How Are You Supposed To Get The COVID Vaccine Now? An Explainer | Defector As the muggy malaise of summer winds down, you might find yourself interested in taking advantage of one of several safe and proven vaccines to help protect you from the inevitable brumal surge of res...

We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...

More:
- Patrick Ness’s “The Knife of Never Letting Go” & sequels (sci-fi, but very fantastical sci-fi); highly rec going in with no prior knowledge
- Howl’s Moving Castle & the other Howl books, Jones (v diff than movie!)
- Inkheart, Funke
- The Mirror Visitor, Dabos (so good, so underappreciated!)

More:
- The Phantom Tollbooth (sadly not a series)
- Mysterious Benedict Society (no magic but very cartoony in a fantastical way) (tv show was terrific, too)
- all of Dahl obviously
- Ray Bradbury’s short stories
- Gormenghast is GREAT for tweens/teens

More:
- Tiffany Aching, Pratchett
- Prydain, Alexander (great as a pre-LOTR series imo)
- Dark Is Rising, Cooper
- His Dark Materials (hits real hard for weirdo smart kids)
- Graceling, Cashore (I mistakenly read them in order 1-3-2 and actually might recommend that)
- Queen’s Thief, Turner

*hugs*

People not willing to see anti trans policy as part of deeply entrenched gender and anti-bodily autonomy ideology cause they want to see trans people as separate from the “real“ people and politics

Bottom line is that anti trans politics is part of fascist politics and you can’t fight fascism by taking on and surrendering to its ideas

Um…hi

Y'all think Jack Roush can shoot his fake eye out like a projectile or naw.

/11 In short, fuck these fascist shitbirds, fuck you if you voted for them, fuck you if you apologize for or countenance them.

/7 It’s easy to say why. Saying “you can prosecute flag burning as incitement because it makes people really mad” allows you to say “you can’t criticize Israel/denounce Trump/preach Islam/say reality TV suck because it makes people so mad.” It limits speech to what thug trash will tolerate.

Sometimes I think about the period in history where some folks (basically Brits) thought they were poisonous, despite them being eaten for centuries in other cultures, and all the delicious things they missed out on (including eating a freshly picked tomato like an apple) for ~200 years

At 5 or 6 I’d sit in the car (safely in the garage) & pretend to drive it. One hand on the shifter, one on the wheel, feet nowhere near the pedals. Upshift, downshift, tire squeals & zoomy noises as I moved my tiny body side to side to mimic being in turns.

Guess the need to drive started young :)

I did manage to find Dad’s X1/9 keys, which made me smile so it wasn’t all bad!

Typically I find things that make me laugh or good-cry in this mess I’ve been going through. Today I found some letters that made me bad-cry (I’m ok) and that really is one of the harder parts of going through old boxes of things that belong to other long-gone people.

I love this time of year bc it means the best tomato & mayo sandwiches, BLTs, caprese, tomato & cucumber salad (many variations of this), tomato sections, etc. But my fave is tomato & ricotta toast—but you gotta use the crusty garlic bread where they bake cloves of roasted garlic into it 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

I absolutely love that you went all in and included accessories!

The thing about Mamdani in this moment is that he is telling people that they do not have to simply accept what's on offer [and you see how much powerful interests HATE that]. He is doing this in just a couple of areas. Others could do the same focusing on the areas of life that most speak to them.

denmark rocks bc theyll notice that only 80% of their population is currently laying in the grass in a park with a six pack of 8% beer reading a book while on a 3 hour lunch break from work making $50/hr selling croissants at a cafe called GOBBO or FLUUZ and their government will spring into action

Ahhhhh gotcha. I hope it all works out for you!

I know that Aubrey Plaza was only joking on Amy Poehler's podcast about not having watched Parks & Rec

but like

I wouldn't want to watch myself fall in love with Chris Pratt, either

PAXCESS™ | PAXLOVID™ (nirmatrelvir tablets; ritonavir tablets) The PAXCESS™ Patient Support Program may help eligible patients lower the cost of PAXLOVID™ and access savings, with or without insurance. T&Cs apply.

OP mentions it later in the thread but here’s the link if needed

My insurance also didn’t cover this. The pharmacist told me to go to the paxlovid site, sign up, and I’d probably get it covered via a coupon from them. It worked, but seems unnecessary for a singular purpose covid drug? Like…insurance companies?????

Evergreen statement

The remake of The Running Man has a fundamentally flawed premise. I *want* Lee Pace to catch me. You don’t run from that man, you run to him.
