I hope everybody who even *thinks* about suggesting we go back to the high-risk healthcare pool situation is diagnosed with a pre-existing condition tonight.

A painting on wood cut in the shape of a cathedral panel. The painting depicts a mausoleum in a dark swampy forest. The mausoleum is surrounded by lit candles, with a pile of small bones at the entrance. The door is slightly cracked open.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

but like, one of my latest pieces partially covers my shin and oooh that was a lil spicy

or the top of my shoulder, that was also a case of sudden "oh actually that hurts now" lol

anyway this is why you absolutely should not get your first tattoo on your foot or ankle, and if you're going to do it anyway, keep it small

I got my first one on the back of my shoulder for a reason 😂

me: tattoos on joints and places without much fat hurt a lot more than tattoos in fleshy spots

also me: what if I tattoo my hands

A reminder, for no reason whatsoever, to please NOT wear cologne/perfume or strongly smelling lotion while flying. Even an N95 mask won't stop it.

It is obscene that British media, and her own mother, have fully obscured that Brianna Ghey was murdered.

They've just glossed right over it, smoothly turning it into a narrative about suicide as if that is what happened.

libs just doing casual antisemitism every day now

It’s funny to think about how right wingers treat someone like Zohran as if he’s going to do another 9/11 when he’s just some guy from New York vs. how they treat the Syrian president, who was an actual top level member of Al-Qaeda

Brianna Ghey's Phone Didn't Stab Her 28 Times The trans girl murder victim's mom has turned her death into an unrelated political crusade against teenage phone use. Note: I want to be clear upfront that I have no issue with Esther Ghey, mother o...

For my newsletter, I talked about the proposed teenage phone restrictions in the name of a murdered teenage trans girl.

(Noted this twice in the piece but again, I have no issue with Esther Ghey)

Anyway I am an outlier and I know it. But I just find this stuff interesting.

There was literally never a word I didn't know. 😂 So I'd pick five at random and then put them all in one sentence. (Instead of one word per sentence like everyone else. Yes, I have always been like this.)

Lol I just remembered how in seventh grade my English teacher would have us pick five words out of the reading that we didn't know, look up their definitions, and then use them in a new sentence.

But at the same time I can see evidence of the three cuing thing in what I remember from school? Just... I straight up ignored it because I was reading at a higher level than most of my peers.

LRP: Genuinely fascinating to read about how reading is being taught, because I... was already reading before I entered kindergarten. One part autism, one part college educated parents, that's my theory.

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't kno...

how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

Clove.

I will again ask: if AI tools are supposed to be so great, why do they have to trick and/or force us to use them?

anyway let's play my favorite game: what color is my cat

is she orange? is she brown? is she a sneaky tortie? who knows!! she looks totally different depending on the lighting 😂

a photo of an orangey-brown tabby cat curled up and snoozing on a bed

oh, to be a kitty cat with not a single care in the world

Why are we letting one person dominate the entirety of this team call omg.

Why did I bother joining this call again??
