I feel weird clicking anything on the cdc website anymore when googling health info 🥲

fascists in the government, anti-fascists are the terrorists. joke of an administration

lmao good luck with that Disney! They‘ll have to keep getting subscribers from those scammy pop ups after you buy something, offering it for $2.99/mo.

autism is such a wide spectrum of people and I honestly think it's underestimated how many undiagnosed people work in engineering, IT, science, data analysis, investigative reporting, professional sports, and transportation

Me yesterday.

We just saw 4 years of Biden claiming he’s “hopeful” GOP will do the right thing per tradition, while clinging on to power too long—Trump won. And learning nothing, Chuck Schumer says he “hopes” Trump will do the right thing per tradition, while clinging on to power too long. We know how this ends.

I got an automated job rejection today that didn't even specify what position they were rejecting me from (I applied for two jobs at the same organization). Lol, do better please. I mean, I guess it's nice they responded at all. The state of the job market, y'all.

Agreed.

BREAKING: Kimmel is Uncancelled (for now). But note! Disney isn’t bringing him back because of the law, morals, ethics, or any of those noble reasons. They’re bringing him back because they lost billions of dollars. Boycotts work. Keep piling on. Fascist actions should have lasting consequences.

NEW: 404 Media is suing ICE. We have filed a lawsuit demanding the agency release its $2 million contract with Paragon, a company that makes powerful spyware to break into phones and read messages from encrypted chat apps www.404media.co/were-suing-i...

I have to remind myself not to hang out with energy vampires who make me feel like shit afterward

I balk at the idea of being a “romance girly“ in terms of books but I guess that’s what I am lol I am a hopeless romantic 💘

Any time they tell you it can't be done in Portland, remember that California already did it. A preview of our draft of an ordinance to do this exact thing is coming to the Community and Public Safety Committee this Tuesday, 9/23 at 2:30 pm. www.portland.gov/council/agen...

You don't have to mourn people who despised you and wanted terrible things to happen to you. Hard to believe that this needs to be said but apparently it does.

One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.

I just finished a book in two days and at the end made a weird squeal of excitement like I was a child, immediately ordering book 2 It’s so fun being super into books again. I missed this (lost myself during mid-2010s and didn’t read much for pleasure — I blame it on burnout and being a workaholic)

I DONT UNDERSTAND.

I get to see Army of Darkness on the big screen for the first time in my life and I am stupidly excited lol

A man caged by ICE was found dead in his cell inside a Long Island jail 18 hours after arriving there.

I still do not know who would really buy these. I mean I know some types of people would but I cannot imagine this becoming a thing for most regular people.

The ACIP has voted AGAINST requiring a prescription for COVID-19 vaccination. With a vote of 6 yes and 6 no, the decision went to the ACIP chair, who voted no.

Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."

today I helped make a print out that will be distributed at a protest. It made me feel useful and it didn’t take long. Sometimes people think what they need to do is so huge that they get paralyzed. But really it’s about community and offering your skills — anything at all — to help the cause.

Keep cancelling your subs. Fuck them.

You have to vocally tell them no at some airports before you even show your ID or tho they will just take the photo (happened to me at PDX). They had signs telling people in line to make sure they tell the TSA attendant.

More of this hopefully!

Disney learned nothing from Andor.

❌👑2️⃣ Downtown Portland, OR Print. Post. Share. (Turns out putting on a huge event takes some money to do well, so we have a donation link, for those that can support that way. 💰)

Exactly this

Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest: Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No

Listen up: If you or someone you know has been terminated by their employer for voicing your opinion about Charlie Kirk, then post who your employer is. Post the company. We, as consumers, would like to know.

I’ve been such a whiny bitch this week lmao. Get my ass to the gym and it’s like I’m a new human. Tbf there’s been a lot to be mad about tho But then I watch my dog sniff around on our walk while the sun sparkles through the trees and it’s not so bad

On social media Wednesday night, after Kimmel’s suspension was announced, The Onion’s Ben Collins @bencollins.bsky.social wrote: “[it’s] Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love.”

Bad headline: "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel off air ‘indefinitely’ over Charlie Kirk comments" Good headline: "ABC bows to government pressure to pull Jimmy Kimmel off air ‘indefinitely’" Kimmel did not criticize Kirk. He said his death was being exploited and implied the killer was pro MAGA

some people are taking what i said to mean “don’t do any opposition and give in :)” instead of what i meant by this, which is be strategic! don’t just sacrifice yourself

the most important thing for everyone in this country right now is to practice self preservation. they are entirely rolling back the first amendment and the ability to protest, be careful

Wowwwwwwwww grotesque

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

Oregon’s Board of Pharmacy is holding an emergency meeting today to discuss a change in protocol for vaccine administration around fall respiratory viruses. That change could allow pharmacists to administer vaccines without a prescription, regardless of what ACIP decides.

Searching for rentals with a large dog is really depressing. One listing “PETS: One dog, under 40lbs will be considered with increased security deposit of $500 and monthly pet rent of $50. Pets/animal approval is subject to breed restrictions and a pet screening fee of $35”

Honestly yeah. It’s absolutely working hard to normalize hate.

coates is genuinely a generational writer

Fair point

It genuinely depresses me that so many democrats think that abandoning the LGBTQ community — and apparently climate change — is a winning way forward. That embracing, or tolerating, hateful values is the way forward.

jfc man.

When Juli Cobb's car ran out of gas in the middle of the road, three men from a nearby homeless encampment rushed over to push her car to safety.
