It’s incredibly sad, but I’m well into “sending people to Health Canada’s site for advice” mode. Public health has saved more lives worldwide than probably any other intervention. Humble stuff like toilets and clean water and hand washing.

CNN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files? CHRIS MURPHY: So what?

Saw this on the other site and wanted to share it here. Furry artist ardwoof has been detained by ice for the last few weeks. here is the GoFundMe link their family/friends have set up to help with their legal fees: www.gofundme.com/f/help-johan...

I’ve never hailed a Waymo but I have a sudden desire to make empty ones follow ICE around, park in front of them, just generally be in the way.

it's so disgusting to me that Elon Musk doesn't even know how to be rich. quit spending all of your money on a weird statistical hallucination machine to make you feel good. patronize a court of artists and commissioned great works from them you stupid fuck

“I want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.” Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter

In my lifetime we have gone from "do NOT mess with ouija boards" to this

A reminder that I’ve archived every public-facing web page from the CDC website prior to the Trump Regime purging data back in late January: acasignups.net/cdc-website

I would unironically love for the AAVE habitual 'be' to become a feature of standard English over time. it is very useful and elegant compared to all the other ways you can express that idea in standard English

"A lack of public seating disproportionately impacts older adults and people with disabilities, who may need more frequent rest as they navigate the city," Elizabeth Abramson writes.

Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.

Fuck the CDC

I can't believe I didn't think to repost this earlier!

SNAP's status post-shutdown from @tyjonescox.bsky.social: "The public won’t soon forget that SNAP benefits were suspended, and they won’t like seeing more people lose their benefits permanently as the food assistance cuts in the Republican megabill get implemented."

GOOD

WOOHOO, just spent the afternoon cleaning a friend’s apartment, one of HER friends paid for the session as a present It’s so much more tidy and smells lemony fresh Satisfying day

"The more everything is based on big numbers and metrics and that's the only way things are considered good, I think pride in small things that don't scale is a really special, beautiful thing" (paraphrased) It's so cool seeing businesses that really care about their craft and community

WOOHOO I just put a couple of friend/client HOME ADDRESSES in my contact list even though I “know” where they live because that lets me plot commute times

Magic sticky dots come through again put a zit sticker on one last night and it’s nearly gone this morning

One of the biggest flexes I ever had was asking some junior financial analysts watching their phones on a bus if they needed $20. They said for what and I said headphones. They got so mad.

Yeah sorry seeing that Olivia Nuzzi was making songs about being "jailbait" at 16 and no parent stepped in, that she was scooped up by a MUCH older and MUCH more powerful man when she was concerningly young... This seems like a much sadder story than the current discourse on it suggests

I hope men understand that it is very very rare for anyone who is not a woman’s lover, close friend, or relative to stand up for her when another man insults her in a room of other men. It is incredibly unusual. They may not join in the bullying, but they’re unwilling to step in to stop it.

Note to anyone planning to use Restor-A-Finish on furniture: it definitely has what, if it were foundation, I’d call Sheer, Buildable Coverage. If your furniture is really beat up it may take a lot of coats.

St. Tony’s Law in full effect. I was in Cambridge Naturals yesterday because I had to buy probiotics, and figured I’d also buy a new tube of fancy hippie face sunscreen because I hadn’t been able to find my existing one that morning. This morning? Tube was right there in my cubby. As expected.

You see, kids, People mag broke this story because, while the WHCA has become largely indistinguishable from the celebrity access gossip beat, the WHCA doesn't KNOW that they're in the celebrity scandal biz. The actual trashy tabloid beat has covered Trump for 50 years and knows when to pounce.

I will say again that it has been just *beyond* hammered home for me that not only do we not live in a meritocracy, we live in an economic and sociopolitical order that actively rewards avarice, incompetence, unkindness, dishonesty. And tbh that makes me feel better about my lack of success.

Escape room where the thing you are trying to escape is reading about Olivia Nuzzi

let’s hear it for ankle braces

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

You olds don't need to hear this, but to you youngbloods out there, I come to you from the future: when the news begins talking about ways to save money for the holidays, rather than getting you hyped to drown in debt buying shit, that means shit is WAY FUCKING WORSE than they are letting on.

Guys. GUYS. Not only do these shoes offer a choice of colors and a blinky option, there are also TWO different color cycling options. They are seriously wearable Christmas lights.

Infuriating to think that in just two months, Conde Nast's Vanity Fair hired Nuzzi while Conde Nast's Vogue absorbed and neutered Teen Vogue, laying off a number of talented writers who can write, and think, circles around Nuzzi.

Knowing that a person unable to self-evacuate due to disability lives at a particular address can potentially help fire resources arrive in time to get that person out when a neighborhood is threatened.

LA County: with fire season coming, if it makes sense for you in balance against privacy concerns, you have the option to give LAFD important information about your family, pets, and property in advance of a possible fire—this is especially important for households including disabled people.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16? Gonna go with the Smithereens’ “Especially For You.”

[Black & white illustration based on the book Charlotte's Web with a pig looking at a spider's web that says "fuck ICE" with the spider hanging off the bottom]

My #SuperlativeCannedGoo tweet from the old place is making rounds again. Support co-op cranberry growers!

I have my own stories from being a teenage girl, and I’m raising a teenage girl right now, and I just keep ping ponging between rage and sadness over these men sharing their stories of being predators with a “har har WHOMST AMONG US” kind of attitude.

Hey Charlotte folks-Compare Foods has waived delivery fees for groceries, so if you know anyone who'd like to get groceries delivered rather than go out to the store while the nazis are in town, spread the word

Two weeks into a new program that gives New Mexico children free childcare, officials are opening up about the surge that happened day one & how it’s been moving forward. In just a short time, the state said thousands of children are now enrolled in free childcare, & daycares are lining up to join.

Nightmare Before Christmas, the official movie of "stay in your fucking lane"

Many of you have been asking what our active military members have been doing in regards to the obviously questionable orders of a mentally disabled psychopath and his drunk SoW. They're seeking outside counsel. Which is a pretty big flashing neon sign. #SheShed
