Got a Covid booster today and it’s so great how now just engaging in basic public health measures feels like a big ole Johnny Cash-style middle finger to The Man.

The most piercing judgments of Charlie Kirk I see today are the ones that simply quote his words for all to hear. What a legacy he earned.

Weird day, eh?

I'm a vegetarian but I'm still watching this Wienie Mobile race, never let anyone tell you advertising doesn't work

“The pope will be from Chicago” sounds like an 1880s Republican’s dire prediction for if we don’t stop Irish immigration

UPDATE: white smoke has *also* been spotted in the city center of Avignon,,, bad news folks!!!

Regardless of how one feels about the Catholic Church or about Pope Francis, now is a time to come together to claim that JD Vance killed him

If a Senator was #filibustering (can't leave) but was also pumping (legally required time in a private space) could they get legally mandated time away from the podium?

Also when transition isn't made out to be the biggest deal ever, the kids have more room to try on different understandings of themselves! They might find themselves on a different point of the spectrum in the future and they know they'll be supported!!

Watching old Night Court episodes and apparently in the 1980s you could just smoke literally anywhere, including court. No wonder they lost two bailiffs to lung cancer.

Maybe the only good billionaire?

Friendly reminder that Joann Fabrics isn’t closing because it’s a bad business. It’s closing bc it was bought by a private equity firm. This is also what is happening to Hooters and what happened to US Toys R Us and Red Lobster. These companies are being dismantled intentionally.

...rapist and human trafficker seem more important than his little internet videos

This is really bad. Hedge funds kill valuable resources. As a crafty person who refuses to shop at H*bby L*bby, this leaves way fewer options.

Please, reach out to your local library and suggest craft swaps! Thrift your supplies! Do what you can to support crafters.

Look at how cool this duck is. He's such a cool dude.

You know he supports his trans neighbors.

He doesn't listen to right wing podcasts.

He owns a killer whip(are they still called whips?) and he'll give his grandma a ride to the store in it

He's not afraid to tell his friends he loves them. 🪶

The last episode of Scamanda, a documentary about a woman who faked cancer, is called "Catch Me If You Cancer" which is objectively the funniest title I've ever seen.

i try to talk to strangers on the internet like we are chatting in line at the grocery store together. some of u talk to strangers on the internet like you are having active road rage at all times

I think about this tweet constantly

B/w photo of President Nixon as a young football player who was kinda hot

Today I learned young Nixon was actually kinda hot

You could straight up pay off strangers' medical debts, build affordable housing, solve hunger in an entire country, fund museums or orchestras, save an endangered species. Not to mention get real into collecting or weird expensive hobbies.

This is exactly what I needed to end this week.

Meredith Lynch was on The Dream podcast today discussing how private equity is ruining the US. It's worse than just Panera, it's nursing homes, apartments, and even libraries. Horrifying.

The best part about watching #Severance is all the people saying they want to be severed until the next episode so they don't have to wait. It's like, are you paying enough attention or

The Trans Literature Preservation Project: A Practical Guide to Resisting Censorship Project 2025 wants to criminalize trans literature. Here’s a game plan for keeping our stories alive.

Okay, here’s the deal: RIGHT NOW is the time for concrete, direct action.

If you’re following me, it’s probably because you care about trans art and trans literature. The article below lays out my suggestions for dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship.

FUCK ICE

I've never even heard of giving single parents twice the leave as an idea, but that makes so much sense!

Codes will vary based on a variety of factors (for instance, an elective tubal verses a tubal right after giving birth). However, it's supposed to be fully covered under the ACA. But obviously, insurance companies can be real jerks about these things, and it's hell trying to get an estimate.

Two years later, I got a hysteroscopy ablation (plus anesthesia, which is not usually the case but I had extenuating circumstances). It's not covered by my insurance unless the gyno records a person as having heavy periods. Insurance was billed $6K, and I was charged zero.

per the ACA, sterilization is supposed to be covered 100%. I reviewed my records for 2021, and my insurance was charged about $36K. It was all covered except for $118, and I can't figure out why. Call your insurer and ask for the tubal billing code and cost.

Mr. Trump’s executive order indicates that in 30 days, all federal agencies will be required to confirm the immigration status of the parents before issuing documents like a passport.

If you are a visa holder/temp resident in the U.S., and your child was born here and doesn't have a passport, GET A PASSPORT FOR THEM IMMEDIATELY. Like, make the appointment this week.
