Year six of Visual Snow Syndrome though and it's also still garbage Sometimes I think about my dad telling me this is what everyone's vision is like and it makes me wonder if he lied to me or if he is walking around thinking this is normal vision and how many hesd injuries he has sustained

Day three of this migraine and I can't

Damned asthmatics ruining the planet for everybody

[5] Hitler turned his bodyguard into ‘political soldiers’ & grew their number dramatically. They were known as the Schultztaffel or SS & were especially feared, during the Reich. They combined military & police powers. By 1939 there were 250,000 of them. Here’s an overview:

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. How corrosive it is that public figures are--more and more shamelessly--ripping the copper wiring out of the walls. Integrity is for suckers. Abusing power is fun. Caring about anything bigger than yourself is lame. An elite class of evil toddlers

Also what is going on over there?

Being real weird this morning because anxiety obviously

“Copenhagen reported that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 & 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety & comfort of cycling.” #Copenhagen chose. They keep choosing to go further each year.

Nothing like waking up every 40 minutes from several nightmares to give you a refreshing coherent and productive day

Yes! Also - the joy of biking for local transportation is hard to put a value on. Been doing it for 25+ years. #ClimateInfluence

Anyone else notice their #sonos speaker randomly deciding that and audiobook chapter has ended ... no matter how much of the chapter remains? mostly with #libby

State transphobia is fascism, especially if you think it doesn’t count.

Everytime I see fyp my brain creates an acronym ending in pussy Ahahahahah

I thought I was going to go for a bike ride but then I walked across my apartment and collapsed on the bed in exhaustion #fibromyalgia

As well a woman complained about the orange day parade having to move because they're white I pointed out Santa and St Patrick are white and haven't had to move and suggested "as an Irish-catholic" maybe there was another reason Then I learned the troubles had nothing to do with the Protestants

Yesterday at the museum my niece wanted to go look at stuff so began quietly making puppy noises at me. Because I was not finished my coffee I made cat noises back. Much later I considered that many people might've tried using their words.

I sadly agree with this assessment. In April of 2017 my daughter Robyn went to the People's Climate March in New York City. Eight years later, I see very little being done to address climate change. Many people live in the dislusion this is not happening or humanity will figure it out in the end.

I've been in a book club 20 years now and I keep accidentally picking books with magical realism. This has become my hallmark. It's tough on Stephanie.

jackson is writing the type of stuff that, if congressional staffers and elected bother to read it, might make them consider court reform. which is why the conservatives are angry at her and she’s often writing solo

*quietly posts this and then quietly leaves*

The IDF has been firing at the UN peacekeepers on a regular basis for years. Ignoring that they are peacekeepers & breaking international law:

Hey y'all! This week we have a highly anticipated review for a book that no one wants—@dnbrgr.bsky.social reviews Chuck Schumer's Antisemitism in America: A Warning. spectrejournal.com/chuck-schume...

The best thing about visual snow syndrome basically making it impossible to read is when I accidentally reserve a book with a 16 week wait list, realise I've foolishly reserved the digital print copy, and then discover the audiobook has copies immediately available.

“The real reason he’s ‘leaving’ (or ‘quiet quitting’) is that he’s spent the last 4 months as a ‘special government employee,” a distinction with a 130-day time limit. Were he to continue working in the same capacity, he would be required by law to fill out certain financial & ethical disclosures…”

Having a severe migraine with syncope, I know my phone is making it worse probably but also if i stand up I occasionally feel like I am in the center of a hamster ball I am very very bored

A priest at the only Roman Catholic parish in Gaza has said there has been no bread for many weeks and what little flour there is contains "worms".

Therapy groups where facilitators make an obviously problematic situation the problem of the people for whom it is a problem is my favorite subset of engaging in therapy to continually prove my disability so I don't lose basic assitance

I just assumed new male followers with no posts and no overlapping comments or likes of my posts are bots but also i am a redhead and seem to have boob's in my photo without being visibly fat so

One of the things I like about the internet is when it makes me want to scream someone wittier is already having the melt down and then I can chuckle darkly to myself #hellscape #lol

My stuffed sheep and I just checking traitors NZ's sheep episode for their relatives @ghet.bsky.social

Old friends are important bc you'll forget about that time you broke your toe on St Pat's and since emerg would be nuts you opted to drink more, stop at a dance club, go to the apt of some Irish guy you met on the street for tea before finally checking in to the hospital.

Like all reasonable humans I change my pokemon go avatars outfit seasonally which means I just discovered that at some update between September and now pogo lost my saved outfits

spectrejournal.com/trump-protec... Hey y'all! This week we have our publication manager Ashley Smith interviewing Michael Roberts on Trump's protectionist agenda.

Sometimes I forgot fast food is political but just a reminder mcdonalds is on the BDS boycott list for feeding Israeli soldiers, and Wendy's funded Trump and we will all be happier eating real ice cream anyway

I'm getting a photo done Thursday because my photos are: (a) selfies (b) drunk (c) with an animal (d) wondering why they haven't taken the damn photo already and certain they're fucking it up HAVE THEY TAPPED MY FACE SO ITS IN FOCUS? CAN THEY SEE MY CRITICAL THOUGHTS IN MY EYES AND RICTUS GRIN?_

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” Via @grist.org grist.org/biking/one-m...
