This is quite possibly the dumbest shit I can even conceptualize. We have a cheap and effective preventive, but fuck evidence, let’s spend our efforts on circumventing it rather than on other issues

Laura Loomer is attacking Flo Groberg for being the wrong kind of Medal of Honor recipient—he’s a French-Algerian immigrant—and suggesting the Army posting about him today is an act of disloyalty to Trump.

…The Army posted about Flo today because 8/8/2012 was the day he tackled that suicide bomber.

Germany had like, 150 years of being considered the world's best place to do science and math.

Hitler shot that reputation in the face literally the moment he came to power.

*young me, developing a strong sense of justice*

This is gonna be great, what an asset, this will never drive me insane

They only elevate him because he agrees with their views, let’s be real

Your plans will never go to shit, and you’ll never have to be a co parent to somebody who decided kids are not top priority anymore. You’ll never spend hours undoing hurt feelings or trying to get two irrational hormonal beasts to get along. Sports practices are never at the same time across town!

Oh look it’s a rich man acting as a sleeping surface for a child who is not actively trying to get herself killed. Surely parenting is this easy for everyone all the time! Kids don’t ever have emotional needs or reject basic reasoning! Parenting definitely is not 60% cook/taxi when they’re teens!

1. Have kids. It’s not dangerous to be pregnant and there are many places to give birth! Also it isn’t bankrupting!
2. Try brokering a gov-industry partnership while potty training a sick 2yo while 1st trimester pregnant. lol
3. Why are these fucking weirdos so obsessed with other people having kids

My cognitive capacity gets dumped out of my head by pain, and that’s kind of my tradecraft. But all of this still catches me off guard and I am still learning to shut off the instinct to “fuck it, drive on” and tough it out.

And then people ask me if I’m training my dog for a veteran

It is all the more fun because I don’t look like a disabled veteran (female, 40s, conventionally attractive, stands upright without assistance) and I refuse to show any weakness.

Yes I am still in a great deal of pain though

9 appointments left in August and 3 already on the books for September. I really got serious about treating this pain now that it’s back, but so many specialists and so many places to go.

Fuck this bullshit, it is so much some days.

Yay!!!

My teen has introduced me to his girlfriend on Snapchat, and let me tell you it is a strange time in raising children

Honestly, respect to my man to never selling out and groveling for mercy. He held the line as long as he could and didn’t mince words doing it. May we all prove as worthy should we be tested.

YOU WANT TO KNOW ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA

You get to interact with humans you'd likely not have contact with IRL/meatspace because our worlds in meatspaces are limited by time/money/distance/access.

DO YOU PEOPLE KNOW HOW FUCKING COOL IT IS HOW MANY SCIENTISTS ARE ON HERE

interesting how some tech bros claim college is overrated and people should drop out but “Ph.D level” is a marker of expertise

Thank you. It feels like it for now.

I totally get it. There are already so many other logistics to do

I also need to go to freakin dental… gotta add that to my appt list I guess 😵‍💫

Aww man. Good luck!

For god's sake can we PLEASE leave dopamine alone for 5 effing minutes. There are so many other neurochemicals and hormones out there for people to make their whole personality!

Where's your oxytocin outfit? (Feels like a warm hug!)
Your serotonin snacking? (Makes life bearable, also high fiber!)

Just scheduled 5 medical appts for my bullshit in the next few weeks. Just maintaining myself is a ridiculous amount of work these days. And that’s doing all my physical therapy at home instead of driving in to work with the clinic techs.

How the hell is big pharma not screaming bloody murder over these BARDA contracts being unilaterally killed off?

Fucking pansies

Sending you love in this time of change. Good to see you smiling.

Damn it!

If releasing the files would clear him, it’s funny how they’re needing to do so much strategy.

Having a tough time doing human things today I guess. First sleeping was a no go, now I had to fight myself to eat. I probably didn’t eat enough but it was something. Wouldn’t it be easier if I were a robot?

If you’re thinking “this work will continue in other countries,” you’re not wrong, but US spending on medical innovation is vast and irreplaceable.

This is like we discovered cold fusion and decided “eh, fuck it, let’s just burn coal.” Which is now plausible.
