guy in the elevator at work somehow concocted a frankenstein combination of two of my least favorite comments that I get he said "I hate that you have to wear a mask because it means I can't see you smile" 😐

no group in the world was more primed for radicalization than SV techbros: patted on the head for their ‘intelligence,’ the engineering mindset of tech and tech alone can fix this everything, the tie ups with the military, the lack of regulation, politicians and pundits sucking up, and the MONEY

today I was already having a bad day at work and a nurse was rude to me in response to me being kind. usually I just go quiet and tuck my head but for the first time at this job, I finally matched her energy back and FUNNY how she got quiet.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

it cannot be understated how impactful hearing this for the first time as a 6th grader was on me becoming a leftist later in life youtu.be/6mB_v1X8T5s?...

the same guy said that he thinks type 1 diabetes is reversible with diet and exercise and told a woman that they would have "the sexiest kids" what. #loveisblind

yes, a shower beer is great. but beers in a bath..... the real play

Two of my friends want me to teach them cross stitching!!!!!!! AAA I'm so excited!

LMAO my husband took our oldest cat, Sable, to the vet because she's kind of in a bad mood sometimes and often quick to smack and lightly bite. So we wanted to make sure that was feeling okay & the vet's conclusion is that it's just her personality. Diagnosis? being a queen with strict boundaries 💅🏼

Just saw an older guy in the hospital cafeteria with a "I'm a boomer, we're the badass generation before you PUSSIES were born" (and a matching hat) and honestly it didn't even make me mad. It made me so unfathomably sad. Wow. What an absolutely miserable existence it takes to wake up & put that on.

If he wants to do this bullshit stuff we should at least call it the Donald J Trump Medicare for All and see if we can’t just do that

this guy just said he doesn't use white noise when he sleeps because "as a man" he "wants to be able to wake up and protect the house if a threat arises" 😭⁉️

I remember an article about MAGA women in DC trying to find "traditional" guys and finding that the men whose values aligned with theirs sucked, were mean to them, and also expected them to sacrifice their careers instantly to be homemakers. They're flabbergasted that they got what they asked for?

watching the newest season of love is blind and completely perplexed at the woman (who is an entrepreneur?) who tells one of the conservative guys that she's into traditional gender roles but then gets mad when he asks if she'll do the cooking in the relationship

The last decade in US politics

I know it's not like *that* big of a deal but it is really hilarious that my in laws have liked none of our social media posts about getting married. Lol

Haven't done a cat update in a while so this is little miss Piper (the newest of our 4) and she is attached to me at the hip

Hygge is upon us.

The best part about embracing being autistic as an adult is that you can just do whatever you want. I wore my favorite loafers with my wedding dress that did not match at ALL and they're visible in EVERY photo but it's okay because they made me comfy and everyone in my life knows/understands that

Willow helping do the laundry

the surgical unit ICU at my hospital has the most BEAUTIFUL quilt hanging on the wall that a patient's family made for the team there. I get choked up every time I see it. it really reminds me of what healthcare is all about at its core.

and yet still complete silence from Taylor on this exact topic which is a bummer as a former huge swiftie. However, I love seeing this from Sabrina though. time to go stream Man's Best Friend some more

OOOoo bust it down

doctor messaged me saying that my lifesaving Crohn's medication prior auth had been approved by my insurance. I call the specialty pharmacy to see when I get my next two doses and they told me a prior authorization was never even sent in. Cool 👍🏼

I was talking to some friends about living through the AIDS scare in the 80s and early 90s. Pretty much anyone younger than 40 will never know or comprehend what that was like (thankfully). Were Duane a 22 year old diagnosed today, he would live to see his 59th birthday.

AI cross stitch patterns drive me nuts and they are INFESTING etsy

a new secret cross stitching project......... I can't wait to post the finished thing!!!

at any given moment I am thinking about "no good deeds" from wicked and how it fits perfectly with suguru geto

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

training my cat to do this to bill belichick on command

I'm 99.9% sure this is unironically Belichick's thought process

saw an Instagram comment that nearly made me break my "don't engage with things that could be ragebait" rule and it was someone (seemingly earnestly) saying that link and zelda don't have romantic chemistry in any game

i put the holiday house on top of the heated mat

a weeks worth of work on my 2.5+ year long cross stitch project (I do not want to touch the color pink for the foreseeable future)

I truly do not understand why people act like it is so difficult/horrible to switch away from apple if they really wanted to. Changing phones to an android affected my life literally 0%. No one cares in my life that I have green bubbles in text chats and I would think it bizarre if they did.

for all my hard-boiled egg lovers: please try them with the everything but the bagel seasoning from trader joes

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

is there a reason why every single paid streaming service UI has only gotten incredibly worse and less usable over time

fighting for my life against the persistent and insistent intrusive thought

not drinking caffeine after 2 pm pretty much cured all of my sleeping issues and I'm very upset about this discovery

so no one was going to tell me that the THC drinks taste like complete ass

Connors family texted him specifically but not me (his wife) for thanksgiving even though we had a group chat for years so i guess their relationship with me really is completely over now lol

today I opened the pyxis (the hospital medicine machine each department has) and lo and behold there was an entire tin of chewing tobacco in one of the patient-specific bins

as if my health news wasn't already a lot due to my recent Crohn's diagnosis, my GI thinks I might have type 1 diabetes???? so I'm getting tested for that tomorrow 😭 what the FUCK

With over 2,000 known species, jellyfish are a stunning example of how life adapts in every corner of our oceans, from coastal shallows to the deep sea. Want to learn more about jellyfish? Check out our video about Moon Jellies: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD8e...

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

losing my marbles seeing people recommend chatgpt for medical questions. we are so fucking cooked bro
