I'm Here Live I'm a Kat

i have been to the emergency room for a dental abscess. it is a uniquely excruciating kind of pain. this man was tortured to death via medical neglect.

I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.

Good article, but the framing is wrong. There is not a dearth of interest in taxonomy. There is a scarcity of funding and positions, which is a deliberate choice by funding agencies and institutions. The youth love taxonomy! It's the olds that are failing to meet their passion!

a reminder that Graham Platner is the grandson of the designer of the "Windows on the World" restaurant at the WTC, has considerable family money, and his main business is selling oysters to his mom's two restaurants. These people are fucking marks.

it’s amazing how easy it is to make people believe you’re blue collar when you’re not, by the simple expedient of being a lily white man who refuses to acknowledge the existence of sunscreen

Some examples of inaccessibility:
1. Lack of Covid precautions in-person could lead immunocompromised people to stay home
2. People with mobility issues having problems getting to the place
3. Anyone with an energy limited condition trying to make it through an hours long even IRL is a challenge.

March is the only month that is also a verb wait no we forgot about May never mind as you were

Wanna see something cool? I'm rereading The Arcturus Adventure and my 100-year-old first edition has a genuine bookworm in it, complete with burrow traces.

There's Natural History in my Natural History book!

Love this thing pundits do where they pretend not to understand why students might protest Israel (a country that their school may actively be funding and therefore the protests are about trying to get their school to take action) and not Iran (a country that their school has nothing to do with).

Pentagon tells Congress no sign that Iran was going to attack US first, sources say Trump administration officials acknowledged in closed-door briefings with congressional staff on Sunday that there was no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack U.S. forces first, two people f...

we reached the “no WMDs” phase in two days.

There’s a truck blocking the sidewalk and this delivery robot has been flummoxed by it for ten minutes

this is actually a fantastic example of how the US psyche decided George W Bush was an everyday American they "want to have a beer with"

My conspiracy theory is that a significant contribution to the Ivermectin craze is that these identity groups that refuse to wash their hands or wear a mask, but chug raw milk, eat bear road kill, and snort cocaine off of toilet seats, actually did have worms and Ivermectin made them feel better.

I've known multiple people in the military who were actually, literally homeless before taking the express lane to the middle class that the military gives you. There is no better way in this country to move from poverty to stability than joining the military.

If I might ask one more thing to be Aware of (for March only, don’t tax yourselves),people with LC are not hypochondriacs, they are not anti-social, they did not want an excuse to isolate forever, they are not doomers, and they are not faking.

They are sick, so being an asshole to them is beastly.

I am reminded that a startling number of people believe that if you’re a member of the military and you don’t like something your government did, you can just throw up your hands and quit the next day like any other job.

It Does Not Work That Way

It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.

Literally this guy

We are going to find out, in the coming days and weeks, that someone has misused Rock the Casbah. I want to say right now that it’s the worst Clash song and Joe Strummer cried when they last used it as a soundtrack to bombing the Middle East.

This tweet preceeds and anticipates deaths in Operation Epic Fury by almost 15 years

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

Having a hard time deciding where to focus my anxiety about the future: the possible outbreak of a world war, murder robots breaking down peoples’ doors, murder drones assassinating people through their windows, or Pete Hegseth’s unleashed AI starting a nuclear war because it saw a guy in a turban.

I saw a comment the said we aren’t “angry enough.” But all we are is angry. Our veins circulate it like acid. It cracks our sternums. It poisons and paralyzes us. We hiss and spit at each other, all impotent, helpless rage.

We don’t need more anger. We need more direction.

Someone told Congressman Rutherford what a furry is and the presser has finally been corrected. It was archived under the previous URL (archive.is/2026.02.28-2...) they corrected that too lol
