I used to get written as a cashier up if I failed to greet customers, scanned too slow, didn't bag, was "rude" (aka no small talk,) visibly ate or drank anything at my register, so on. Now I'm considered entitled if I want my cashier to put stuff directly in the bag instead of on the counter.

Extraordinarily unintelligent design in humans: Most mammals go through something called estrous after ovulation, where uterine blood is reabsorbed if an embryo doesn't implant. Instead, we expel it. And it fucking sucks.

Extraordinarily unintelligent design in humans: If you have ovaries, estrogen regulates your internal thermostat. And then it stops being as regular when you hit middle age so you get wonky signals that turn that thermostat way up or way down for no good reason! 😭 (This SUCKS)

Extraordinarily unintelligent design in humans: Half the population have easily-infected mucus membranes right next to waste disposal and the other half have urethras through a gland that gets larger throughout life.

Lottery tickets are Schrodinger's money, and I think that's why people like gambling in general

Bullying breaks people. Sometimes it turns inward, sometimes it turns outward, but it always sucks for everyone involved. Being kinder to each other would solve a lot of problems, but the crabs in the bucket just have to tear each other down.

Shocked face.

I would give almost anything to know in advance that gluten and other inflammatory proteins were slowly destroying my guts and I would eventually be unable to eat most food. Maybe if I could cut some of it early, I wouldn't have to be so restricted now. I miss chocolate.

The cycle of shitlibs

I would much rather everyone who is purportedly "faking for attention" gets attention than a single person die of neglect. (Also, if you think someone is faking anything "for attention," you probably just don't believe in experiences other than your own and you suck.)

I'm old enough to remember all the cries of "the Democrats are trying, but nothing can pass the Senate without a supermajority! There's nothing we can do about it!" There clearly was. The ratchet effect is fcking real. Stop defending them.

The spring time change literally kills people. (It causes other problems, too, but I think those are less important than all the death.) www.inc.com/jessica-stil...

Dems just openly saying "kick the left out of the party," now. This is my shocked face. 😐

Maybe I just like Harley Quinn.

If you actually think funding military power is more important to your well-being than food, shelter, water, and healthcare, you're living in a world I can't fathom.

I could not give fewer shirts about football, but I'm always a fan of karma

I believe that people who declare they are Christians and spread their hateful ideology under that banner, are in fact Christians. To people who declare that these are not true Christians: there is literally an ancient fallacy for that. They are. Your argument is invalid. Find better ones.

This is one of the best breakdowns I've seen on millennial economics. I've said before, it's not about the coffee and avocados, it's the cost of living, but this person explains why SO well. youtu.be/en_VpZtUFcE?...

There is not a single patriot who's willing to protect this country in D.C. You cannot convince me otherwise and I will not be elaborating.

Please...if you would be so kind as to help a functionally-orphaned trans woman get the last of her belongings back into her hands, I will be forever and always grateful. It will mean the world. And whether you donate or not, boosting the signal will also be deeply appreciated. Thank you 💖

To be clear, I am cutting him out because he openly supports and defends the fascist regime that just came into power. Denied the sieg heil, insists the Dear Cheeto won't bring any LGBTQ folk to harm, all the usual far-right evangelical apologist bullshit. This isn't just spite.

I've never liked asking for monetary help, but... I am cutting my father out of my life, but he's still holding on to a few of my personal effects (from when I moved across country). I want them back, but shipping them is expensive. If you can, please help and signal-boost. gofund.me/82cb8a06

I'm thankfully past this part of my life, but I like to reiterate for those who might not have heard it before: 🧵 Abuse is not just physical. Attitudes like "well they don't hit me" or "no bruises, no abuse" or anything along those lines are cultural gaslighting and need to stop.

I've been told since I was a literal child that notions of equality/equity/autonomy were "communist." This didn't have a hope of turning me against the idea of equity. Instead, it turned me into a communist.

Blocking people who have an absolute meltdown over being told they're committing a logical fallacy and should educate themselves if they don't believe you (and respond by blocking and sub-skeeting that you're "trashy") is self care. bsky.app/profile/chri...

In a world of exploitative price-gougers, be Costco.

Same, Doctor. Same.

Egg prices are up 37% and rising. It’s day 4.

STOP HAVING CHILDREN AROUND ME. do not shove your digusting regretful breeding lifestyle DOWN MY THROAT

The price of eggs today was a good 35% higher than it was the last time I bought eggs a couple weeks ago. I knew full well that egg prices weren't actually going to come down, but there's a real bitter irony in that.

Posting this for no real reason at all. Maybe I just like this movie. (Please don't engage with me about this movie I only watched it once.)

To be autistic is to exist at the edges of "standard deviations," and I hope this is better understood in the future. 🧵

I'm forty years old and dealing with the worst, most stubborn pimple I've ever had in my entire life. This seems very unfair.

A week after putting the rainbow over my profile picture, I can confirm that random men/bots looking for romance have stopped following me. 10/10 can recommend.

To whoever decided it was a great idea to put a gate with a bolt in front of dumpsters so we never have to look at dumpsters but we do have to touch a giant, yucky bolt that certainly never gets cleaned whenever we need to put something in a dumpster... I hate you.

Please stop telling me that crime must be deterred. Studies have shown over and over again that in the context of criminal law, deterrence theory is a myth. It doesn't work. It never has. That's a copaganda myth. Poverty is the cause of most crime. Eliminate poverty, and you eliminate most crime.

Might be a good time to point out a billionaire couple own and use more water than every home in LA combined

This must be some of that "harm reduction" I keep hearing about.

Given everything that's going on, I know this might be a petty thing to microblog about, but fukit, it's in my head so here we go. My ideal karaoke bar: Is seven days a week and starts somewhat early in the evening. (Six or seven.)

Changing my profile pic to be more gay so maybe "god-fearing" men who are "looking for someone to share life with" will stop randomly following me. (Since I guess weirdos and scammers aren't checking the bio to see that I am gay for my wife!)

I've talked a little about my digestive issues and how few things I can eat without hurting. The main culprit is plant protein. It's not just gluten (wheat protein) but all the proteins in grains, legumes, seeds, nuts, and most fruits. My guts twist, my joints burn, it's a big inflammation party.
