every time I see a headline framing this as being primarily an issue of the student having controversial opinions, and not the student being an asshole with a right wing podcaster mom who wanted to ruin a trans person’s career for the clicks, I age another ten years

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.

Ever need to crush a pint, but your hands get too cold? 3D printing has solved that too.

Moderately Sized Tim? Oh no, that kid died ugly

Looking for a Christmas miracle for a kitty (aging parent situation) for Baltimore pals: (1/2) ""My mom can no longer keep Angelo (alas!!!) and we are looking to rehome him. Angelo is a total sweetheart. He is 6 years old, gentle, playful, friendly, and a lovebug."

Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, said to Prince Humperdinck: "'To the pain' means the first thing you will lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists. Next, your nose, your left eye, followed by your right. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever."

Reminder: You believe in yourself. You offer a unique perspective because of your life experiences. You are making a difference in the world. Your body is beautiful and strong. You are unique and rare and valuable. You are worthy of love. I'm proud of you

Seems like a good time to note that many nonfiction publishers do not fact check, or do so only very superficially, and authors who want their work fact checked need to pay for it. This is bad in general but especially when editors are acquiring ‘eye-opening books’ that are just reactionary lies.

Since we are getting more Japanese users, I'd like to share with you ONE (1) piece of advice: Joking/ironic posts like "I HATE your art. It's so good!" or "GET THE FUCK OUT with this masterpiece!" do not translate well to Japanese. Most people will think you're angry at them.

Fuck. Yes. And it's not even midnight holy crap I'm doing so good this year lol 🪡🧵

Merry Christmas, everyone. May Santa bring you everything you bought for yourself and then wrapped in solitude

Power just flickered, making everything except my stitching/desk lamp stutter, which I'm taking to mean I need to hurry up and finish presents lol
