Do you know if there's been any indication Lyft is abetting similar issues?

PLEASE cite the deep magic to me, Witch! I was there when it was written, but I wasn't really paying attention

Photo of a notebook page with teal and purple ink that reads: "SHIT THAT GOES WRONG WITH THE CAR WHILE THEY'RE IN DEATH VALLEY • only one headlight • crummy windshield wipers--can't keep up with the rain as it gets bad • metallic clanking when turning on • back windshield wiper is broken"

"SHIT THAT GOES WRONG WITH THE CAR WHILE THEY'RE IN DEATH VALLEY"

For years there's been a misconception that it's psychological and all in your head.

We can already show changes in blood vessels, muscle tissue, etc.

Now we see the genes that show ME/CFS disposition are NOT the same as the genes that show disposition for depression/anxiety/etc.

Page two of "Color Taste Texture" by @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social on food aversions and I'm about to burst into ugly tears. That line about not "tricking" picky eaters really hit hard. Thank you so much for writing this.

This is almost as funny as real life, where the cops said anarchists are hard to infiltrate because they read too much

My college roommate reminded me that fall out boy has a song called Death Valley, so I went trawling through my itunes lib. and the entire album is 100% a banger

New York opens first-in-nation homeless shelter for transgender people The shelter will offer services to 150 residents.
