Exceptions of financial compensation aside, do we collectively understand that demanding a specific time after having to move your original appointment time is ridiculous when your sole reason is to not miss one of the multiple leisure golf games you partake in every week? 🤦‍♀️😑🫩

Can we all agree that, when we are booking appointments with doctors, we - as patients - are ASKING for THEIR time, and must work our schedules around theirs accordingly? Can we agree that we're NOT ENTITLED to their time, nor can we expect the doctor to work their schedules around us? Right?

They're talking about "water based" cooking now. Cooking things in water instead of oils. It's soup. They're making soup.

A panel from Barefoot Gen. Gen’s father scolds his other son Koji for wanting to join the Navy. “You think this war is being fought for the Japanese people?! A handful of rich men started it to line their own pockets! Do you want to die for a few millionaires? Your life is worth more than that!”

Everyone should read Barefoot Gen

That scene in Princess Mononoke, where Okkoto - the Boar God - says "...my children grow weak and stupid," before succumbing to the hatred that turns him into a demon...?

Likening the current US political scene to boars is mean to the boars, but it's quite fitting here.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Everyone raised on the AP Style Guide is having a moment with this one, thank you @ellecordova.bsky.social

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Today's high point involves the discovery of using the coincidentally well-placed hallway pictures with cleanly reflective glass as a way to snoop and avoid anyone who may be at the front door.

It's our lunch hour.
Don't jiggle the handle.
Read the sign.
We're back at 1pm.
See you then.

Truly the worst jumpscare, accidentally pulling this image to full screen without knowing it was here as I focused too heavily on the post above this one in my feed. Haven't felt this ill since first seeing Goya's Saturn Devouring His Son.
You captured his likeness perfectly. Very well done.

Incredible aurora tonight almost 200 miles southeast of Fairbanks, Alaska. We had to drive five hours to clear skies, but we were rewarded with this amazing show.

Anyone else see the bird with wings outstretched (eagle?) in the lights, mid-transition from right to left, right at the apex?

This may not have kept my grandmother alive for much longer - 81 is a long life as is - but even just a little more time with her could've changed so much.
Twelve years gone and she's still my favorite person.

I mean, looks aren't everything. 😂

The silly bit of irony being that I've liked this after posting a slew of reposts... 😅

We've been conditioned to forget who actually works for whom. They've been horrible employees and we're still paying them.

A panel of from Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns, colors by Lynn Varley. Batman is breaking a gun in half and telling Robin, “This is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it.”

Hey, y’all! As we all work to try and figure out how to work against the rising tide of fascism, please refrain from using Generative AI, it is based on billions of hours of stolen labor.

...I just wanna make some dick jokes, but here we are...

In the same way people, for centuries, have sang while we worked? It is.

The best analogy I've heard says Republicans are the uncle you beg to take you to Disney, he says "No." Democrats are the aunt you beg to take you to Disney, she says "Maybe." They both go together and leave you behind.
Liberals still believe the Dems will take them to Disney. Leftists don't.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

With the Ricola cough drops through winter, the family-sized sharing bag is mine. Only mine.

Y'all, big request here - unless you've got a serious symptom-backed medical concern - PLEASE don't call your specialist's office at 8am on a Monday.

The coffee I've drip hasn't hit the system yet, and we're still catching up on voicemails from people who don't understand what Operating Hours are.

If bashing one's head against a keyboard were an Olympic sport, I'd at *least* take home the bronze.

1984 is hitting kinda hard right now.

Brb, this might cure my bf's depression.

History: “Eventually the incompetent fascists invariably lose power and then society recovers in a new and stronger way”

Me: “Oh, cool, so what has to happen for the spell to be broken??”

History: “mmmm…well, that part is less encouraging.”
