she's told me since we started dating in 2002 that this is her favorite musical of all time, so she's been waiting and waiting and WAITING for this

@neolithicsheep.bsky.social riled the puppy up right before bedtime so I shut her in the bathroom with him as a punishment (for him), and they've kind of been in there for awhile and I overheard him reading the labels on my expensive skincare to her and then I received this picture via text

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

Meet our newest patient here at the Alaska Raptor Center, a Northern Pygmy Owl named King Owlbert by his rescuers. Owlbert arrived with a drooping wing, making flight difficult. We’ve given him a supportive wing wrap, plenty of tasty mice, and time to heal. #small #owls #adorable

This country's wild skews in population density, and how our system rewards them in such anti-democratic ways, drives me nuts, as a life-long resident of states where people actually live (and of the cities in them where those people also actually tend to live).

... or Wyoming, or Vermont, or Alaska, or North Dakota. I don't think he'll hit Wyoming + Vermont (1.23M), but he'll get close.

Fancied up one of my July sketchbook pages :3c You can get prints/stickers/etc on Redbubble! www.redbubble.com/i/art-board-...

you know you're a gen X dyke when you can't look at your italian seasoning without thinking, "...and the font of teriyaki"

yeah, go ahead. do it. I dare you. just like that old saying: "Even Mussolini made the trains stop running at all and that's why everyone loved him."

It's not a partisan problem, it's a white people problem. White people who have never had to learn to identify white supremacist coded speech out of self defense are the exact targets of this semiotic laundering because they will always reach for the innocent explanation and excuse.

Your regular reminder that the number of trans kids using puberty blockers to delay puberty is tiny, and the vast majority of prescriptions for the medication in children and adolescents are used to delay precocious puberty in cisgender kids.

I'm washing the Ruggable that fits on this 6'x9' pad, so I rolled it up to get it out of the way. Not ten seconds later...

Love how we're back to scolding people for buying themselves a pastry once per week, meanwhile I'm re-upping my Dunkin boosted status within the first five days of each month Not sure how consumers are supposed to keep the economy afloat without spending money...

The ruling class has had 20 years to come up with something better than “buy less avocado toast” to explain why you can’t afford a house. And they’ve opted to just play the old hits.

I could barely move yesterday due to migraine and nausea, so the cats we forced to subsist on kibble for an ENTIRE DAY please believe me when I say this is Rosie being even more disgruntled than usual

Yuuuuup. My grandmother was never without a pack of Marlboro reds and a cup of black coffee. The VA in particular has done a lot of studies around smoking as self-medication for untreated ADHD and PTSD

This had popped on a feed recently so I remembered the right search terms

Look, you gotta choose a religious or secular passion to understand suffering outside your control, and baseball is basically an atheist Catholicism

early 20th century artist (now out of copyright) who was MONUMENTALLY gay

I don't really care about the physical structure of the White House, but on behalf of every homeowner who's tried to build a deck can I just say your average neighborhood association has bigger gonads than all of Congress combined

The Trump II administration is basically if you had a law school class on "Remedies" and the entire class was just "you can't enforce anything."

How we doing 🌶️🧠 fam

PS, please hire me to care about your product marketing to dev tools nerds so that I can afford fabric for my sewing.

I’m opening a chain of Mixed Martial Arts gyms where you can get a dental checkup (especially if you lose teeth during a bout), and there’s after-care in the form of a mani-pedi studio. It’s called Fighting Tooth and Nail. DM me for franchise opportunities.

(cw: cancer) So Ginny is on chlorambucil for her GI lymphoma. This being the same chemo drug used for humans, @aniente.bsky.social idly wondered what the price difference is between cat dose and human dose cat: $160 for 20mL of 2mg/mL suspension human, per GoodRx: $14,100 for 25 2mg tablets

this kind of distinction is so funny to me. like, why? I have always held that if transformative works themselves don't require permission from the creator, neither do transformative works of other transformative works. incredibly bizarre to me how fringe and reviled this opinion is in fandom

Btw I forgot to say last night but she approves of the plan we were working on where every time a doctor blows you off and you were right, they have to punch your card, and 10 punches gets you one appointment where a doctor has to do literally any test/experiment you want without arguing

oh no I just remembered buying the Highlander box sets on VHS via a paper catalog through the mail 😭

The holy trinity of Highlander, due South, and The Sentinel. Those were the days! *sits in rocking chair*

ah, symbolism

Modern medicine would rather watch patients suffer & die than risk one single person getting high on pain meds They act like you can't even feel pain if you're female, fat, POC, poor, or have any kind of mental illness. Might as well die, filthy drug-seeker. Medicine isn't for you.

"Medical gaslighting as a service" is not a use case I anticipated! Doctors seem to enjoy that part of the job so much, why would they outsource it to an app?

Pain does not work like this. Nothing works like this. There's a reason lie detectors are inadmissible bullshit machines. But even if it did, those thermometers mentioned in the first sentence? They don't work properly on Black skin. Same with pulse oximeters: they don't work on melanin, either.

Award-winning pain researcher here. This is not something that can be done. Hope this helps.

...but I thought eating only beef and salt was supposed to cure all heath problems? maybe the cow spirits are angry

Mandatory age verification to "protect children" is not to protect children. It is to deanonymize every adult speaker and consumer of speech online so the government can retaliate against speakers and speech they don't approve of. For instance: apnews.com/article/trum...

Gavin Newsom is a shitheel who should never be president, but the legislation he vetoed was unconstitutional, poorly written, both underinclusive and overexclusive, a severe privacy infringement for adults, and would have done nothing but cost California lots of money in court (to lose)

Did you know that the list of firearm makes used by NCIC (an FBI database) and the list of firearm makes used by eTrace (an ATF database) aren't the same? I discovered this today when I asked why most firearms imported to our lab's evidence tracking system don't have a make listed

So does this mean Visa and Mastercard will cut them off as a payment processor?

Periodic reminder: if you get a generic that is less effective for you, of any medicine, filing a Form 3500 with the FDA's MedWatch if you're able contributes to getting non-bioequivalent generics pulled from the market: www.fda.gov/safety/medic...

While providing tech support for my FIL: FIL: What's that screen? ME: The terminal. You should never use it. FIL: Never? ME: So you know how I'm allowed to watch you open the electrical panel and swap out breakers, but I'm not allowed to ever open up it myself? FIL: Ah! I understand, thank you.

The Catholic Church requires bishops to submit their resignation to the Pope when they turn 75 and the Pope chooses whether to accept it or not and as much as I hate having to hand anything to the Catholic Church, they are kinda on to something
