Some of y'all forget the reason we have food safety regulations is because companies used to do things like adding chalk to spoiled milk so it looked normal 

Regulations don't exist because governments enjoy them. They exist because pure unadulterated capitalism would kill us.

One reason we have regulations.

@fetterman.senate.gov, stop sending vague form letters that answer NONE of the concerns I’ve called & emailed you about—most of which reference your betrayal of your voters by running as a Democrat but then consistently voting as a Republican, cozying up to Trump every chance you get! Enough!

It’s my favorite piece of punctuation—really!

F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots (Gift Article) The cancellation plays into fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.

FDA Cancels Flu Shot Vaccine Expert Meeting

“It’s a six-month production cycle. So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.”

This could stop or delay production of flu vaccines this year.

Horrifying that they’re calling charities—mainly Christian charities, like they claim to be— of being terrorist organizations, when what they’re doing is keeping people fed, providing lifesaving vaccinations and medicine, and distributing seeds to farmers so they can fed their communities.

Father,
We lift up #immigrants and #refugees to You, those who seek safety, opportunity, and a better life. Be their shelter in times of uncertainty, their guide in unfamiliar places, and their strength in hardship. Surround them with kindness and the support they need.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

@fetterman.senate.gov — You’ve cooperated with the felon more than enough! Stand up and stop these illegal funding pauses by the President. People will continue to suffer—and you are complicit. I’m so disappointed that I ever voted for you.

And fix your phone so that we don’t get “mailbox full.”

@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social and @libradunn1.bsky.social, I am so sorry for the way you’ve been disrespected by the current president (both 4 years ago and now). You deserved better.

Arghh! Why didn’t I reread before hitting the arrow? Sorry for the “what I was needed” grammar fiasco!

I hated trying to learn Teams. It never felt intuitive and I couldn’t find what I was needed ever. I eventually left a job, in part, over having to work in Teams.

I feel your pain. (It’s been a year and I’m still feeling petulant about it. )

I’m convinced the main requirement of literary fiction is that the characters are under no circumstances allowed to be happy.

Ughh.

Is this it’s theme song?

This is also the very show and song that shattered my childish illusion that singers were “singing their truth,” since I had heard they were getting divorced and yet they got right back on the show and kept singing this song. 😞

I found The Midnight Library fascinating and hard to forget. And I second Everything Sad Is Untrue (although I read it earlier)

We have Libby where I am, so this may not work, but check with your nearest big city. In Pennsylvania, any state resident can sign up to borrow books from the Free Library of Philadelphia, which gives me a much wider selection on the app. (And in my case, 14 days vs my county’s 7.)
