Playing the "are those clothes actually that cute or is the model just really insanely attractive" game.

Got so excited about having 4 bad blood tests because I'm chronically ill and something I can actually point to is a godsend. But it turns out they also don't want to do anything about my bad tests, either. I am so angry that as a cancer pt my choices are "keep subjecting yourself to this, or die."

Dying in office because you insisted on clinging to power until the very end instead of letting a new generation of leaders rise should be seen for the shameful, egomaniacal act that it is.

This but over 144,000 songs.

I'm sorry to remind everyone of the existence of hte worst magazine in America, but Kansas is literally taking away trans' people's driver's licenses, and the Atlantic has decided to publish a thumbsucker about whether effeminate boys are feeling pressured to transition

You should not be working on the railroad all the live-long day, nor should you be working on the railroad just to pass the time away. You should be working on the railroad for the duration of a reasonable shift, for fair wages.

Nobody reads this but I will not vote for Gavin Newsom because I am a Californian and Gavin Newsom becoming President absolutely guarantees we'll be exactly right back here after four years because nothing will change the system that enabled fascism. Without actual progressive change, we're boned.

I am left wondering what is the point of continuity of care if you like, aren’t going to pay for any of that care, exactly. (Just got a bill for $40K. I don’t even make that in a year, good luck squeezing that out of a PT karaoke host. )

Robert Kennedy’s aunt or somebody was given a lobotomy and that scarred RFK for his entire life, that’s his villainous backstory for why he hates autistic people. However, the power of love is not going to beat him. He needs to go to prison.

Well, she didn't. What are you doing to make it NOT a war zone where people are gunned down in the streets besides wishing it weren't true, exactly? (Note: general "you" not this particular poster "you", I've seen this sentiment a couple of times today and I'm exhausted of it.)

there are people going out in the freezing cold and literally putting their lives on the line in defense of their communities and the multicultural secular society they believe in. not interested in what some online wannabe dnc consultant type wants to tell me what is and isn't possible now

Two catty little gay boys who have good reasons for hating each other are currently fighting over my friendship/attn while I am working. They are both messy little bitches and I cannot.

Had my medical insurance force-changed under me in the middle of cancer treatment. I have continuance of care, meaning I can keep seeing my doctor until April, but she's Kaiser, and I'm no longer a member so they won't let me do labs, etc even though they are covered by my new insurance. SCREAMING.

No fuckin' way. I enjoyed every second of this movie, and if you didn't I kind of think you have a piece of coal where your heart should be.

I could literally do this all day every day for over a week!

when I’m being annoying about music that’s the real me

I clearly cannot with this: UNIVERSAL means nobody can "opt out", firstly. And rich people having access to the most expensive doctors and hospitals and I don't is OUR CURRENT FUCKING SYSTEM, MARK. WHAT THE EVERLIVING FUCK?

Seeing a primary care doc before you can see a specialist is how MOST plebe health plans work. I am so exhausted with these rich folks that don't have any idea how the world works because they're insulated from it directing policy that fucks the rest of us.

When I was first diagnosed with stage IV cancer, my first promise to myself was that I had to outlive Dick Cheney. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. I also made some more promises about outliving other people that I fully intend to keep.

I don't have a large following but I'mma boost this anyway: I have been reading Tom Tommorrow since the Odious Bush years, and you should, too, if you would like to laugh rather than stab out your eyes in despair. kickstarter.com/projects/tomorrow/our-long-national-nightmare-by-tom-tomorrow/

Currently in the process of fighting with one of those companies that does "cute" things to try to get you to not cancel. They have no idea who they are dealing with. If this is not canceled by end of day they are gonna regret I ever subscribed. I will be SO MEAN.

When one of the fittest women in America thinks she needs meds to lose weight and *then* endorses the product, it's time to admit that much of the conversation around weight is actually about fitting into modern European beauty standards and not about health at all. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I HATE THEM ALL SO FUCKING MUCH

I fled for California almost 30 years ago and I still look at pictures of certain places and I pine. But I will not set foot anywhere my trans homies are not safe and they're more concerned with teens having access to guns than they are teens having access to libraries.

100%

Every single hed about TX state rep Collier says she’s “camping out” or “staying overnight”. She’s fucking LOCKED IN, that’s more accurately described as “being held prisoner”. Where the hell are the good journalists on this story? Please point me at them.

If "success" is ripping funding from the thing most likely to cure cancer altogether, then I would really fucking hate to see what failure looks like. I rarely say this but Chris should shut the fuck up and go back to acting. He can pretend to be a good person and I can pretend he's not a shitheel.

Zohran's response: "*wanking motion**fart noise*"

Can't post on facebook, can't get through to the imaging department, a bunch of my texts aren't going through. I feel like I'm being silenced. THIS AGGRESSION WILL NOT STAND, MAN.

This is not an abstract notion for me. My goal for cancer treatment was to stay alive long enough for this research to find me something that would cure it. If I die because of these fuckoes, in lieu of flowers, burn it all down.

Holy shit we’re legitimately at “some cancer screenings are too woke.”

I'm so excited about this, Congratulations, Josh!

I'm going to die a painful and completely preventable death much earlier than I otherwise would because some motherfucker cut cancer funding and ended clinical trials in the US, so yeah ALL my problems are because someone else is a billionaire, thanks.

I don't know much about how Lander handled the comptroller's office, but for me with Walz there is also the element of knowing how to use political capital with a very small majority and actually get left-of-center policies passed. He's got good dad energy, sure, but he also got stuff done.

Getting tested for EDS, because apparently I was not already enough of a medical anomaly.

I get to feel this way about both folks who are sober and folks who are battling cancer, and while I would not recommend either becoming an alcoholic or getting cancer, it's great to be able to root for folks in one very specific way, sometimes.

Hands down 100% Santeria. I will fight anyone who thinks otherwise.

transphobes need to be treated as repugnant as racists, which is easy because most of them also are

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

AAAAAAAAAAAA

I am once again being told by Kaiser that there's nothing wrong with me despite OBVIOUS PHYSICAL EVIDENCE to the contrary. I will remind you these folks missed my stage iv cancer for ~6mos. MEDICAL SEXISM HAS GOT TO STOP. PERIOD. This is utterly maddening.

attempting to describe the vibes of the moment. have yet to do better than: "imagine watching a documentary reenacting the burning of the Library of Alexandria set to the soundtrack of 'Yakety Sax'"

I need someone to look into why I have Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm by Crash Test Dummies stuck in my head and report back to me.

i hope they show my tweets to that ceo guy when he gets to the afterlife as part of his hell wrapped

i love those rare times where some rich guy dies and everyone hoots and hollers, which causes other rich people, and people who are under the delusion that they will be rich some day, to realize how much they are hated and have an existential crisis

anybody can start a podcast. my goal *pulling out a sword* is to stop one

Writers: this new Freewrite promo has got me all ajumble. Is it worth it? Should I buy one? Is it finally time for me to Get Serious? Halp!

I had a (very bad) adverse reaction to my first chemo treatment today. If the nurses had been slower, I might have died, type reaction, according to my vitals. So of course my mom minimized it immediately because I'm always hysterical and never exactly fucking right about everything all the time.
