and an antisemite will say "well how come I hear about Jews so much in influential fields eh, eh?" my friend, let me tell you about how *extremely motivating* it is to know that in living memory everyone like you was killed unless you could persuade another country that you were worth letting in

I, however, will be welcomed by Saint Peter with open arms because I got out of my car and pushed these carts into the parking space next to the one I wanted.

I interpret this to mean that in about 4 hours, with wind chill in Person County, North Carolina, it will feel like 2°F. 😱 This weather forecaster is at WCNC in Charlotte, N.C. I have highlighted the "2" with a transparent diamond. [screenshot off IG] #wx #cold #NCwx #windChill #NorthCarolina

I had someone once tell me… well, I don't know WTF he was saying, but there seemed to be something wrong because his toddler stopped bouncing on a trampoline upon seeing my leashed dog in my yard. Grandma is also deathly afraid of them, as is the special needs adult child still at home.

"Excuse me, I need to get by you to reach those noodles." "How will buying those noodles help you protect THE CHILDREN?!" "It won't. Please move"

If you need a measles jab in the US and can't afford one, hit up Bree's replies. There are people in there volunteering to cover someone else's shot in the name of Fuck Measles. I got my titers checked in May, and I'm good. If you're not sure, go get yer jabs!

A few Geminids caught this evening

Wow. Think of the opportunistic malice this will undoubtedly unleash.

so far tonight msnbc has interviewed two students from brown university that are also survivors of separate high school shootings. insanity.

Today I am once again making loads of new Bluesky friends by insisting on one of my most sincerely held beliefs that makes way too many people fucking furious: that teenagers are autonomous beings who are not their parents' property and who possess independent volition and interiority

I should really go outside, see if it's cloudy (the weather app says yes), & look for Geminids. I'm not going to do it, but I feel like I'm missing or have lost something. I suspect I know what it is, but instead I'm going to #vaguepost about it. 🌠 #astronomy #Geminids #meteors #meteorShower

There's a certain flavor geek who when they see a timestamp roughly equivalent to midnight on the last night of 1969 ± some amount they're probably already familiar with, a bell rings. This photo has similar characteristics, or did the last time I looked at it. maps.app.goo.gl/oUJ9Dz5CbTTG...

Van Hollen almost certainly saved this man’s life

So like…this Pyrenees was tied up and left outside all day (after having been on the lam for a day or two) and I’d rather feel guilty for taking him to a shelter than think about him being stuck outside all night, so here we are. Locals? Anyone got room for a big sweetie boy?

Anyone here have experience with topical #butenafine (Lotrimin Ultra) on #dogs, especially if the dog is going to lick off a bunch of it? My wife was using an #antifungal wipe. Then we tried #Lamisil — #terbinafine & the wipes. Then I added hydrocortisone, hoping to make him less likely to lick…

maybe every cultural movement doesn’t need an associated cocktail book?

“Are these new conservatives in fact our descendants? Were we always secretly like this but were pretending we weren’t? I’m hoping these new conservatives are mutants, but I’m not so sure about that anymore.”

Mr. Hollingsworth was right! I'll add that y'all need to put up more holiday lights — I don't care what the holiday is, just put up more lights! I think folks are slacking this year, probably understandably so. Nevertheless, have a Very Merry & Fucking Happy Holiday Season, dammit! 😂
