the idea that they’re hiking from Kansas through Wyoming during winter is activating some sort of Mormon epigenetic trauma in me

Also Hilton might finally make this headline obsolete.

anyone in the seattle area looking to hire a live-in Breeding Season Intern, hmu

Such important advice. Just to spell it out I think this also goes for the Long Covid advocacy factory and Twitter drama. It’s burning out a lot of our best advocates even if some of the shit-stirrers seem to have endless energy for it.

update: I have bumped into the adult child of my host again and the possibilities have changed to “nonbinary” vs “trans woman who was boymoding last time” (our total interactions have been “saying hi twice” so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

6/ What this means now: 🔹Access: All childhood vaccines recommended by the AAP are still available 🔹Cost: Vaccines remain covered by insurance with no out-of-pocket costs 🔹What’s ahead: Expect confusion around school requirements, clinical workflows, and the future supply of combination vaccines

1/ Well, he did it. He actually did it. RFK Jr. just issued a unilateral directive to overhaul the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule. This isn’t based on new data or new evidence, and he bypassed every scientific and clinical process we have, including not taking public comment.

If you think you might be able to help in person, here's what I'm looking for help with: Cleaning Cooking Going to the grocery store Companion for fixed route transit routes

You can also contact @jblainefoster.bsky.social if you want to make a small donation towards the purchase of a big ticket item. If you live near SLC and want to help in person, since I was denied enough caregiving hours, please let me know. It takes some time to get approved to enter my building.

Hello! I'm a disabled trans man trapped in Utah due to an inability to safely travel. I have no income. I can receive another $96 this month + have a bunch of both needs and wants on this wishlist. Needs: Showerless hygiene Wants: clothing PayPal.me/AugustMcMullen www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

This is the funniest thing that's ever happened on Threads.

we can go the long way through the city or the short way through the city, but for whatever reason not the super long way of “walking ~around the city full of infected”

watching The Last of Us and ~personally I feel like if I were to encounter a novel fungal infection that spread primarily through fomites (I know there’s spores in the game, I’m talking about the show) I would at least ~try contact tracing and intrathecal amphotericin B before bombing a city

Me: *on a walk* Dad with a toddler: *also on a walk* *hasn’t seen me yet* “Hey, you gotta stay close to me, these trails are full of weirdos!” *notices me and immediately panics about potentially seeming transphobic* “Heyyyyy how are ya doing buddy-guy? You havin a good day bud?”

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

okay so good news for me I guess, last year I picked an insurance policy with a really good deductible with very few loopholes *because* I was hoping to have top surgery, and the *$300k* bill they're denying is listed as "not my responsibility" because I met my deductible lmao

I honestly think the least politically tuned in people are still gonna be freshly mad about real ID from when the TSA started actually requiring it last year and everyone’s domestic flights became chaos, and if Dems were smart they would capitalize on this bullshit

they’re trying to turn everyone into the joker reason.com/2025/12/31/d...

Hi, friends. Just a reminder that I can receive another $96. If you would prefer to buy things, there's an Amazon Wishlist. Right now, I need hygiene products. venmo.com/code?user_id... cash.app/$CAugustMcMu... PayPal.me/AugustMcMullen www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

my family is converting* my daughter to Mormonism** in my absence *playing obscene amounts of board games and card games **no religion involved

They lowered Ghost’s allowance for medical supplies by more than $30 per month and a lot of his shower alternative products are no longer covered. Which really sucks because 2 hours of care per week is NOT enough to even cover hygiene let alone keeping the apartment clean.

I’ve started just straight-up telling trans patients unsolicited “hey just FYI, this is a lower than average dose, if you’re happy with it that’s great but I just wanted to let you know it’s totally reasonable to ask for a dose increase if you’d like to try that”

"Well, he's a dictator whose people don't actually want him in charge" is an interesting precedent for this guy to set

remember we did this in Iraq and ISIS was like, gee thanks and everyone learned nothing and Alex Garland made a film showing how these decisions very much fucked over US service members and got them killed and their limbs blown off

before you go to the pharmacy and yell about how you “got a text saying it’s ready”: did it say “ready to be refilled”? did you reply “yes” to fill? did it say “out of stock, will be ready on [date]”? did you time travel? did you receive the text >14 days ago? are you at the right pharmacy?

Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

tip: if anyone says you have to respect the troops and it’s not the vibe to go “fuck you, make me” you can always respond with something like “to me, respecting the troops means not throwing them away so cheaply and reserving involvement for congressionally-approved constitutional interventions”

Also if anyone is interested in the history of the United States' attempts to topple leaders in South America and install more friendly dictators then you can - and I'm not joking here - download the files from the CIA website.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

2hrs left and $126 to go to stay housed 💸💞 ko-fi.com/katiwithoutt...

This is my blood

mike lee's saying the "kinetic strikes" were authorized by the constitution to protect the u.s. personnel who happened to be kidnapping a foreign leader, which is apparently self-evidently constitutional, to mike lee

Evergreen tweet

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Hey friends! I can only receive another $100 before I get in trouble. So if you can either buy something off the wishlist or send money to Blaine @jblainefoster.bsky.social jblainefoster on Venmo. They've agreed to send me things if they collect enough. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Every representative, regardless of party. There’s a tendency to assume that Republicans are unbothered by public opinion. But if your federal representatives don’t object to this, they object to their own existence. There’s a non-partisan reason to reject this, and we should argue it.

The members who did the "don't follow illegal orders" video absolutely need to immediately do a "hey these were the illegal orders we were talking about and participating in them can expect to face consequences to the fullest extent of the law" video

woke up to pee and saw the news so now I’m like you are going to take a leftover diazepam. you are going to go to sleep. you are going to show up to work tomorrow and help allll the people who need their meds and don’t have their new insurance card.

meant to post this sooner but I’ve been running a fever all day and my transfer STILL has not come thru and they v kindly didn’t collect today but now I have to find 🚨 $160 for rent by 11am tomorrow 🫩 also mb need $22 for a covid/flu rapid if anyone can help 💸💞 ko-fi.com/katiwithoutt...

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

IMPORTANT: Congress could do this tomorrow. Trump could be unemployed by Monday.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

If you or someone you know have been a victim of the sexualized deepfakes created by Grok and would like to discuss your civil legal options, DM me or reach out on Signal at riot.95. I can connect you with excellent free legal counsel.

Because our country is horrible we’re trying to avoid violating any disability asset limits so buying direct from the Amazon wishlist might be best right now!

nerve glides are so funny, like wydm all my normal range of motion joints are only like that because my nerves are velcroed to the surrounding tissues

really really grateful for everyone supporting Ghost right now ❤️ and also, we seriously need to raise the asset limit for disability benefits because it’s wild how careful you have to be with the kindness of others 💔

finding out Trump takes 4x the recommended dose of aspirin against doctors advice makes all those hand bruises so much funnier like oh so it was preventable
