I came looking so I could follow him here but... I guess he left here too. Elon fanboys prob followed him.

My plant collection... it's a bit out of control. This is just a part of it. The one at the bottom with the lime green and dark green leaves was a total impulse had to have today. I'll probably kill it.

Thanks! I'm gonna try them

Where does on acquire soy curls? I've been a vegetarian since '91....

The timing of this stinks too. Since Dec I've known more pple who have been sick since the worst wave. They've been sick for longer too + some have had back to back "something". 3 families on antibiotics. Things are taking a different turn and the CDC further encourages spread

Get Covid enough times and you, too, will be in the vulnerable groups the CDC considers dispensable.

Thanks for the shout out! ❤️

The right wing El0n fans are lapping up that interview like Putin is the hero of the world who always tells the truth. What a f'ed up mess we are living in. I knew things were going to get bad but I really didn't see this level of insanity coming. Tucker looked like a star struck fan boy.

Every time they do that they bomb the area

Hahaa! I'm "old" too and I kinda hate technology

GOOD

I need to remember how this place works....

It’s all the more fitting that Biden made this statement the night before arguments in a high-profile Supreme Court case about the 2024 election. On Thursday morning, the justices heard arguments over whether Colorado can remove former President Trump from the ballot under the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause. Arguing for Trump at the high court was Jonathan Mitchell, the man who wrote S.B. 8, the Texas abortion ban that nullified Roe months before Dobbs. Mitchell is currently pursuing bans on interstate travel for abortions too. Someone like Mitchell could serve in a second Trump administration. Even if he doesn’t, his legal theories and attempts to further restrict health care access are already being immortalized in a terrifyingly thorough playbook written for the next GOP president by a group called Project 2025. Activists from the Heritage Foundation and other organizations are already cooking up executive orders and legal memos that Trump could use if he wins, and they inclu

screenshot: This is what Biden is fighting against. (And after today’s oral arguments, it seems likely that the justices will let Trump remain on the ballot.) And yet, Biden continues to regurgitate abortion stigma rather than explain the true stakes of the election. He has not effectively signaled to the huge segment of single-issue abortion voters that he will do everything in his power to restore access. (His plans announced during the Roe anniversary meeting were not rousing in the least—mainly, he reminded hospitals they have to save pregnant women’s lives and encouraged access to birth control.) As Moira Donegan recently wrote in the Guardian, “what the Biden campaign is offering American women—the ones who are angry and distraught, the ones that have suffered a blow to their dignity and an endangering of their safety—is that his administration might be willing to make minimal efforts to stop the people who are working maximally hard to make it worse.”

Republicans are preparing to ban abortion nationwide if they win (see: Jonathan Mitchell.) Yet Biden continues to regurgitate abortion stigma rather than explain the true stakes of the election, and forcefully campaign for women to have more rights than fetuses

Haven't been here in months and months.... Hi!

Bombing hospitals and schools. There's nowhere for the people to go....

She's written 40 and has 16 more that aren't finished. Not really a big market for poetry but it's a good outlet for her.

For Gazan workers stranded in Israel, being apart from family is agony Gazan workers stranded in Israel have sought refuge among fellow Palestinians in the West Bank, uniting across political and geographic divides.

Israel has seized hundreds of workers from Gaza who were working in the country w/permits. One reports being beaten before being thrown into the PA-run police training center in Jericho, where hundreds are now held, desperately trying to contact their families. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/1...

Paxlovid will be free through 2024 for those with govt insurance or no insurance, HHS & Pfizer say, through a patient assistance program. And commercial price isn’t yet announced - 3-5x increase is one analyst’s suggestion. But doctors said they were concerned any increase could hamper access

So weird how as soon as the pandemic started it became very immediately clear that things like socialized medicine and giving people money so children don’t starve actually work really well but now that it’s been a couple years we have to all pretend we didn’t notice that

Say what now?

My daughter has been writing a lot over the last yr (poetry) and I want to share one. I have to do it in weird cellphone shots off my computer b/c of the text limit and line breaks. I know poetry isn't a lot of peoples jam but thought I'd share anyway.
