I don't understand how none of these restaurants are giving me anything I want on their pickle menus. All I need are fried pickles and ranch and a side pickle spear with any sandwich!

Sounds to me like "I use a gas-powered chainsaw to slice my bread"

Like...I guess it works, but are you sure there are no safer and less environmentally damaging tools to do that?

I need "No hate, but give your money away, shorties" on a t-shirt.

Great reminder of why masks are so important. Protect others and yourself, because you can’t always know you’re infected. 😷

Wanna to go to a virtual No Kings rally that focuses on healthcare (with a side of "vaccines are good, actually" and "eugenics is bad, actually")?

Organized by disabled folks who can't go to an in-person event.

Join Saturday at 2:30pm Pacific time, zoom link: us06web.zoom.us/j/8467741742...

If you were out in the streets today, thanks. If you left feeling inspired, please seek out local ways that you can keep organizing with others.

As we begin to head towards winter holiday season BS already, here’s your reminder the Salvation Army are pro-fascist, eugenicist, queerphobes.

Donate directly to mutual aids for queer, disabled, and BIMPOC fundraisers instead of Salvation Army’s bootlicking bullshit.

if you are rightfully concerned if not frightened about the continued dissolution of U.S. healthcare infrastructure, would you take an action every day to resist it?

Hundreds of U.S. students quarantined amid measles outbreaks At least 270 unvaccinated kids are staying home from school as measles continues to spread nationwide. "Expect more," one expert said.

Three weeks is such a long time, especially for a kid. Vaccines help keep children healthy and in school. “Unvaccinated children who were exposed to the virus will be “excluded” from school for three weeks, the length of time it could take for a measles exposure to cause symptoms, Bell said.”

Oops, apparently, I got off the Chappell waitlist day-of but missed the email 😭 wish I had been un-waitlisted sooner, but hopefully more KC folks got to go to the home state show ❤️

Microsoft says its Agent Mode in Excel has an accuracy rate of 57.2 percent in SpreadsheetBench, a benchmark for evaluating an Al model's ability to edit real world spreadsheets. This result

As someone who does accounting and data validation, this would get me fired:

Light orange graphic with a border made up of orange, blue, green, and gold blocks. The graphic is titled “35+ Books with d/Deaf Representation”. Beneath the title text is a green bubble containing the words “for d/Deaf Awareness Month”. At the bottom of the graphic is a row of three illustrated books: an orange book, a blue book, and a green book.

It’s still #DeafAwarenessMonth, a time for celebrating the d/Deaf community and shining a light on how the world can be more d/Deaf-inclusive!

Here are nearly 40 titles with d/Deaf representation for you to check out this September — or any time of year 📚💞

Congressman Maxwell Frost Introduces Wheelchair Right to Repair Act to Empower Wheelchair Users with Faster, Affordable Repairs | Congressman Maxwell Frost of Florida's 10th District The Official U.S. Congressional website of Maxwell Frost

Missed this when it was introduced (this news cycle is something!) but a Wheelchair Right to Repair bill was introduced in Congress at the end of last month. frost.house.gov/media/press-...

This is pseudoscience, but let's say, just for the sake of argument, that the FDA actually had a leg to stand on.

Thousands of unvaccinated children died from covid. The math on this is unequivocally in favor of vaccines being, by far, the less deadly risk.

Even if you aren’t masking anywhere else it still makes sense to wear a mask in medical settings & pharmacies because there’s a greater chance of being close to someone contagious & there are more people who are at higher risk in these places. Masking in these settings both protects you & others.

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

Why?
Why should parents and children "use AI together?"
Why not make an ethical choice not to use it together?
Why is the implicit and explicit message always "you must use it, there is no other option"

THE HILL: Health Care Cassidy calls on RFK Jr. to publicly support whooping cough vaccine amid outbreak by Joseph Choi - 09/12/25 5:39 PM ET

How horrific & devastating to see Louisiana suffer one of the worst whooping cough outbreaks in recent history; it killed 2 infants in April. It's a deadly but vaccine-preventable illness.

How horrific & devastating that Bill Cassidy voted for RFK Jr, extreme anti-vaxx activist, as HHS Secretary.

New Jersey has become the latest state to take action to protect COVID vaccine access.

Governor Phil Murphy has issued an Executive Directive allowing anyone 6 months and up to receive a COVID vaccine, and a Standing Order authorizing pharmacists to give vaccines without a prescription.

I tried playing Windwaker but gave Link my name in it, and now I am weirded out every time someone refers to me as a boy in the game. Stuff like this is why I didn't play any Zelda games until adulthood. I mostly gravitate towards games with an option to play as a female character.
