As always, be careful what you say on the internet. We don’t need to go to the gulag today

I hate how freaking uneven this experience is. I'm sorry.

Do you *have* to be seen at the VA? I went to Safeway (same day appt online), attested to I/C status, gave no Dr or insurance info, got a shot.

Just you wait until I officially move my ancient mechanical keyboard downstairs. IT'S ON, MISTER TYPEYPANTS

Mohawk Skywalkers: The History Stephen Miller Whitewashed The Kanien'kéhá:ka Haudenosaunee ironworkers were vital to building Miller's favorite monuments to modern America

Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.

Everyone shocked & horrified by RFK Jr should reflect on when they started treating Covid as something that only hurts people who don’t take care of their bodies or who have defective genes & not something THEY need to care about anymore. Cuz anyone still masking isn’t shocked

🧵NOT BY ME, this is a post from someone who wants to remain anonymous but works extensively with trans people pre-transition. They were asked by someone “why do you think that’s so much [coverage of trans people] in the news at the moment?”

I feel the same way. Their resigning just...makes room for lackeys, doesn't it?

CC is back in production and I think I spotted it at Safeway. Might also be at Freddy's!

Obi wan Kenobi waves his magic hand and says "These aren't the droids you're looking for -- so -- up yours, buddy."

Bit of an experiment for those of you not deep in the weeds of immigration. I’ve got a question for you.

Imagine a woman from India with an MA degree. She has a job lined up willing to sponsor her for an immigrant visa. How long do you think it will take to get the visa?
