When checking to see if I have cervical cancer, my gyn used a popsicle as her speculum (does anyone use McKesson anymore?)

Brain is very definitely going to be hitting me with ✨️LATERAL UNDULATION✨️ intermittently for the foreseeable future

"Baltimore has quietly become one of the country’s fastest-growing hubs for the model, breathing new life into shuttered establishments through employee ownership."

This is fine. I didn't wanna go outside anyway. So there.

"what radicalized you?" "when i was 7 i watched a chicken sing a sad protest song in jail, a mother rabbit sacrifice her own food to feed her children, and a badger cleric get arrested for standing up to injustice."

I need the zookeeper to come hose me down, tidy my habitat, and add some new enrichment activities please

This is an absurdly good gif out of context.

Know what struck me about this and the post from last night? They’re not giving a percentage of sales of one product for one month *up to* $100K, they’re just giving it. Every year. For the next 3 years. Whether you like it or not. Oh and direct funding to local trans orgs too. Cry harder, terves.

I like bee butts and I cannot lie... . . I don't know who took this picture butt it rules.

It has been the norm. It just hasn't been *your* norm.

Got stuck in a loop where I was too cold but couldn't turn down the A/C until I won a game of solitaire and I cannot tell you the last time I lost so many games of solitaire in a row

Something slightly apocalyptic feeling about New York City having a southern-style violent afternoon thunderstorm and being like “ahh well maybe it’ll help clear out some of the wildfire smoke”

Btw the Substack labeler is handy for knowing who's hiding their nazi bar patronage behind a custom domain while asking you for $ to support their alleged anti-fascism as well as who's uncritically reposting nazi bar patrons

it's not an own to point out that all these fucking guys trying to deny trans people their hormones are so into HGH and whatnot. they don't care either way about 'gender affirming care.' they want to be he-men and they want trans people to die. to them the two projects are perfectly coherent

Aluminum lining to being an ill/disabled realist living in a 'post-covid' society: I know that no one I'm getting these alleged evites from actually even remembers/acknowledges that I exist.

Is Taco Bell growing their own lettuce? No. They get their lettuce from companies like Taylor Farms (that has 1/3 of the market *including hospitals*). This is deflection on the part of the federal government, which specifically cut funding for food safety screening/testing.

Maybe next time use some of those donations to not capitulate to an entitled billionaire when she goes on a genocidal mission against trans ppl, @amnesty.org

@amnesty.org regrets having told the truth.

Ironically, high-viz vests help you hide in plain sight. They're great for tactical urbanism projects.

These clownshows and their manly man cred never fail to confirm that I rate among the very manliest of men, and I love that for them

here's a couple of gnomes hiding behind a fence

He didn't choose the Skux life; the Skux life chose him.

The concept of borders becomes increasingly absurd as you travel backwards

Autistic ppl are so diverse that there are no well-replicated subgroups by separate research teams, and diagnoses should be descriptive rather than prescriptive - support needs to be personalized and based on need. Meanwhile, some carry a specific anti-neurodiversity agenda w/ "profound autism". 1/

I treated me to a telescoping stool so where I can park myself isn't dictated by where I can find something to prop my tootsies on to keep my blood where it belongs and I am exceedingly pleased with that decision✨️

Hello, sunshine:)

Hale Zukas and the Rolling Quads insisted that disabled people should control where they lived, how they worked and what services they received—a philosophy later encapsulated by the disability rights movement's rallying cry: NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US

My dear park took some damage in the storms, but we're doing ok

Happy place | Happy face

the part where you observe other people as more than characters in your own life story and can acknowledge your own mistakes turns out to be an insurmountable stumbling block though. alas

sometimes the reason someone asks you to reopen your wounds is just that they want to see you bleed

it doesn’t BTW there’s no reason these progressives couldn’t just support an independent candidate

this statement alone is disqualifying. this is the kind of shit rapists say. also, even if he isn't a rapist...he shouldn't reinforce the FALSE notion that women make up rape to influence elections when we see how Biden and Trump were easily elected. but ultimately, I do not believe him.
