Me wondering why there's so many Lorax costumes... looks it up. Oh gawd - because of some dangerous TikTok/influencer judgement of girls and women bullshit!

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

Got 2 tickets to tonight’s Canes game and a general parking pass. Section 328 row A (mezzanine) seats 23 & 24. $120 #gocanes

Dems - its time to move to the countryside.

Posting ahead of other folks sending it to me - yes, there are indeed similarities between this and what "Integrators" do in my Lock In series Paralysed man can feel objects through another person's hand | New Scientist share.google/wRVj1X1ydIDy...

YES!!! Jarvy eating peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. This has been my thing since childhood. Particularly with the pickles my Grandma made. 🥒

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay 💖 😺

Sorry @rangerrick.bsky.social

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest: www.thegauntlet.news/p/when-will-...

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

"But Daaaaaaaad, I don't want to be in the military, I want to dance and sing.."

I finally got my entire back catalog of electronic music up on Ampwall. In honor of this momentous occasion, everything is available pay-what-you-want. Enjoy!

@wademinter.com did Jost change the pronunciation of his last name?

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

This Canes game is as drunk as one of the announcers sounds.

As someone that unnecessarily when through 6+ years of pain, debilitating symptoms and an unhelpful GYN, I hope this helps uterus-havers in the future. Side note, in my case it took changing from a female GYN to a male GYN to get myself taken seriously and get the care I needed.

I got a DM for a free unicorn and took it in exchange for a post. Ponycycle did not get their moneys worth hahaha

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally. Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

Canes in mid season form letting in a goal on the few remaining seconds of a period. 🤪

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Morning musings: Duran Duran drum lines are underrated.

This is amazing.

Are NHL players from other countries here on an H1B visa?

This is premeditated murder. The science has already been done, by highly qualified scientists. There is no question the COVID vaccine benefits everyone of every age. This will lead to a lot of people having a lot of complications with long COVID and potentially death. Shame on them!

Including the Hurricanes' own Brandon Nolan.

Hey, so...Covid rates have gotten real high. Maybe change your behavior to fit this new risk profile? Stop eating indoors at restaurants, mask on mass transit, that kind of thing?

This prospect game is just like a Canes-Panthers typical NHL game. Canes tie it up late in the third, can't win in OT and now in a SO #RaiseUp

We all need a dose of joy after this week. Happy Friday!

Bates Battaglia was the Hurricanes’ first fan favorite, before the team even really put down roots here — but Battaglia certainly did. His career took him away from Raleigh but he never left, and this weekend his bar Lucky B’s celebrates 20 years in business. www.newsobserver.com/sports/spt-c...

Talked to 23 people who suddenly have to pay huge tariffs or otherwise cannot get chainmail from Pakistan, yarn from France, retro computers from Japan, metal music from the Netherlands, DVDs from Germany, cosplay supplies, sunscreen, etc. www.404media.co/its-just-a-m...

If you're protesting ICE in Chicago, let me know at [email protected] if you need free legal training or legal support. If you're arrested protesting ICE, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

@esbee92.bsky.social I was able to schedule a Covid vaccine at a Walgreens in Cary today.

Officials warn that ICE raids could begin in Chicago as soon as this weekend. We created a resource list with support hotlines, links to legal services, & multilingual Know Your Rights materials to help inform our communities. Access the guide in English: www.citybureau.org/newswire/202...

@ncgovernor.bsky.social Please do this.

Trying booking an appointment in NC but not available yet. I called my CVS pharmacy, they said they should be getting some but they don't know when/how many. SC has appointments available though if you don't mind a little road trip.

I haven't eaten a Ritz cracker in at least a decade. Bought some recently on a whim to use to top a casserole. Decided to have some with my butter bean/kale creation for lunch. Forgot how good these crackers taste.

The stupid crack down on DEI did some damage to Nashville Pride this year. Help out if you can! www.savenashvillepride.org

They took out the Cracker *and* the Barrel?!?!?!

I made a thing! Meet Shuffleupagus, a multi-service playlist generator with balanced shuffling. This is the basis of my rebooted No-Fash Dungeon Synth playlist. Now that I’ve got it cleaned up, I’ll begin working on adding more services besides Spotify and Apple Music.

Benefit of owning a 30 year old car - no more safety inspections needed.

For my birthday, you are legally obligated to watch (with sound!) the drag skit that my wife and I made for the Robber/Robert Chapter 1 Kickstarter 👽👍

anyway here's the post i wrote up a little while ago as something to share with people who don't get it yet. even if they don't read it, i'm still doing what i can to take away the "i didn't know better" excuse.

So it's Dundon that wants to ruin Crabtree Lake Park and the best mountain biking trail in the area.
