Health care should be a like a hug: always coming from a place of compassion and understanding, always requiring consent, designed from start to finish to make people feel better inside and out. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon, people hugging

Even if you are denied your rights, they are still your rights. They are not gifts granted by benevolence; they are essential to your being. Always fight for them with that in mind.

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

I am glad you're here even when you're not at your best, even when you need help, even when you feel like you're failing, even when you imagine that nobody anywhere would want you around at all. I want you around. It is good that you are here. Please continue to be here.

You don't stop having needs when you have a child. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon

Encouraging to see some members of the US Olympic team wearing masks to protect their health ahead of competition.

A recent study has found
“that nearly 40% of children
with long COVID
are experiencing
significant symptoms
of anxiety or depression,
many for the first time,”
which is a reminder
that despite what
The Who sang in 1966,
here in 2026
the kids aren’t alright.

House passes bill that would criminalize protesting in a mask without a doctor's note Anti-masking laws have never been taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court and have had mixed results in lower courts.

Sadly, the push for anti-mask laws is back. The Alabama House has passed a bill that would criminalize protesting in a mask without a doctor’s note.

Not that I can eat out anymore (because of maskless people), but when I could, I made a point of stacking plates towards the front end of the table, and properly too (ie cutlery on top). And when my kids made messes, I cleaned them, even knowing staff would still re-do it after me. And I TIPPED!

They are mundane, common, and thus more insidious in their casual abuse of others. Never blame yourself for not being able to detect an abuser before they've made you another of their victims.

Right? After working several summers in a row at a camp for the tragically rich, cleaning up their trash, I learned that it's vital that everyone have a job at some point where they have to clean up after someone else, so they learn to clean up after themselves!

SpaceDadSupport transmission that says, "When problematic people shun you, that's simply efficient waste extraction ahead of time. Or as your era puts it: let the rubbish take itself out."

Oh wah, I don't think anyone's blocked me recently here, not even when I had Doctor Crusher remind people about masking a couple of days ago right after an influx of followers to me because of my Star Trek cross stitch. However I do have a Picard post to match your post:

YouTube video by Ben Palmer Kindergarten teacher wants kindergartener deported

Kindergarten teacher called a prank ICE hotline thinking it was real. She called to report her 6 year old student to ICE to try to get them and their family deported.

6 years old.

She does not enjoy hearing her own words and actions played back to her.

Wayyyy back, like decades ago, I called my LiveJournal blog "Blatherings". Although looking back now, I realise that being self-deprecating was part of my people-pleasing/fawning. But yes, it's a fun word to say. I also enjoy the mouth-feel of the word "inoculate".
