btw I made my mom watch last weekโ€™s RuPaul with me (snatch game ep), which means I had to explain everything, and thank GAWD she was in the kitchen when one of the queens made a Dirty Sanchez joke because explaining that would have quite literally finished me off ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’€

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

I donโ€™t know how to use chatgpt etc but I imagine itโ€™s going to a website and typing โ€œoh no what groceries do I buy please tell me false god for I am so weak I cannot go onโ€ as your brain atrophies and leaks out of your ears from disuse and the machine is like โ€œbuy eggs milk bread and a horseโ€

Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social heroes @beccacoffindaffer.bsky.social and Ed Underhill, we have some slides that can be shared by anyone about this, with particular reps to target. Let's kill this bill in committee.

Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.

I know people get mad at me for being so anti-Newsom, but this is why. Pander to the worst people in our country, get the worst fucking policies.

If you have trans homies in Kansas, check in on them. Let them know they're not alone. Let them know they're loved.

No one left behind.

Haha well, all due respect to us, I donโ€™t think an entry level office assistant job is worth relocating for! probably better for someone who is already local ๐Ÿ˜˜

Are you an organizational whiz with great attention to detail and an interest in the world of publishing? This is an in-person job opportunity based in San Diego.

Ok well the one in my bathroom just came STROLLING OUT and I managed to keep my head on straight enough to sweep it outside. So now I canโ€™t go outside, obviously, but at least it isnโ€™t INSIDE anymore??? (Unless it has a family in here ๐Ÿ‘น)

I, too, am visiting my mom, so maybe thereโ€™s a lesson here.

UPDATE: upon further research, it seems the centipedeโ€™s bite is โ€œ10x more painful than a bee stingโ€, SOME of them are venomous but you canโ€™t tell which ones, and they can bite you even if you decapitate them. So thatโ€™s fun.

A pic of some of the stuff my mom requested from California: Smoky and Hot Chili Powder (sadly discontinued), Salmon Rub. Everything but the bagel seasoning, and candied ginger slices.

Iโ€™m going to visit madre; they donโ€™t have Trader Joeโ€™s there so she gave me a wishlist of snacks and spices to bring.

Which is why I had to be quadruple screened and almost missed boarding; seems โ€œeverything but the bagelโ€ seasoning looks a lot like the makings of an incendiary device ๐Ÿ‘€ THANKS MOM

Alysa Liu not only won gold โ€” she did it on her terms Liu became the first American woman to win gold in singles figure skating in more than two decades, capping a personal comeback that began when she walked away from the sport as a teen.

Thrilled for Alysa Liu, for the sport, and for all the young skaters who just saw a joyful example of an athlete prioritizing her autonomy and mental health.
