about to see and clean my Wound for the first time since they sewed it up ... good luck me

grateful for modern medicine. we really didnt have standard sterile sutures until the late 1800s-1920s

how it feels to have a legitimate reason to use up my paid sick time hours

id say "cross your fingers" for me, as im in the urgent care due to the deepest cut ive ever experienced in my life, but as it involves my index finger, perhaps the irony is a little too real (im fine)

Would you look at that? Jeffy did all that craven genuflecting to dear leader and turned the entire opinion section into an instrument of flattery and the feds are still pretending press freedom and the First Amendment are imaginary This reeks of Orbanism. Congrats Jeffy, you played yourself.

“One day, a woman wrote to me on Signal, asking me not to respond. She lived alone, she messaged, and planned to die that weekend. Before she did, she wanted at least one person to understand: Trump had unraveled the government, and with it, her life.” @hannahnatanson.bsky.social essay:

good news, my medication has been refilled

please impose sanctions on the united states

finally

Kobo remote is really changing my ability to use the ereader consistently. I've read 2, maybe 3 books in the past several weeks. (Deep Space 9 related, but im branching out to fiction generally) finally starting Ancillary Justice after all these years

for some reason my psych's supervisor (who is who signs off on all the prescriptions) accidentally submitted my script as "30 tablets" for the previous month when i need **90** in order to meet the instructions of "take one tablet 3 times a day". i took my last today, having stretched my supply

just learned that the crazy farmer from Marty Supreme was played by Penn Gillette of Penn and Teller fame...

finally getting a chinese cleaver at the grocery store tomorrow. heres how losing all your kitchen implements to water damage can work for you

you may not know this but im currently on a huge Star Trek kick. Deep Space Nine rewatch, all the movies, select Voyager episodes

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been dissolved, ending its 58 years as the primary funder for PBS, NPR and local TV and radio stations

not that its beneficial to take people being wrong online so seriously, but i have zero respect for anyone ever manufacturing consent for something we've seen a million times over only ever kills, destroys, and destabilizes other countries

okay so they literally expect to run another country by truth social post, I can’t see any way this could possibly go wrong

Happy 33rd birthday to Deep Space Nine :) :) :)

The Pentagon refuses to say where the 12/30 attacks occurred but US Coast Guard has been searching for the survivors in the Pacific Ocean approximately 400 nautical miles southwest of the Mexico / Guatemala border.

BREAKING: Plans for secret U.S. raid to capture Maduro leaked to the Washington Post and New York Times before it happened, but both decided not to publish to protect U.S. troops

How it's going.

theyre going to destroy every country that ever dared to fight their way out from under the thumb of the united states and all you mealy mouthed fucking losers are gonna stare at your shoes saying “I don’t like how they went about it but these guys were no angels”

in light of recent events i’m altering my new year’s resolution

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.

I'll spell it out: Offering that Maduro is bad but the strikes and kidnappings violated legal procedure, is discursively like closing the back door to Trump while opening the front door. You concede the moral case, and offer a legal one that nobody without a lanyard knows of or gives a shit about.

What's wild is if I said what should rightly happen to this guy, I'M the one who'd get in trouble

from someone who was in school for the beginning of the "war on terror," please. please please please. talk to teenagers in your life about not joining the us military. about not letting themselves be groomed by recruiters in schools. they're going to want soldiers, and they always start young.

with what troops lol

Marty Supreme; banger

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

if you haven't read jezebel's 2018 coverage of the listserv where 400+ "left-of-center" transphobic "journalists" methodically orchestrated the current moment, it's a good companion to the TNN interview: www.jezebel.com/private-mess...

happy birthday all horses (northern hemisphere)

happy newt year

got accused of doing multiple things by a roommate today that factually didnt happen (& i was able to back this up) without any prior conversation ... just a wild experience

stills from the PINEYS teaser

I'm sure the main goal is kneecapping mail-in voting, but all the other effects as mentioned are going to screw us over too, yay!

gunna take the girlfriend to see marty supreme when i finish working on this project for a friend

For non-French people sharing tributes to Brigitte Bardot: for context, she was a long-time supporter of Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally, France’s main far-right party, and later of Éric Zemmour (even further right). And she was convicted for incitement to racial hatred.

ive learned that Legoland Discovery Centers don't allow adults to attend them without accompanying a child 17 and under
