I read the plan first and went "oh not what I'd plan, lot of boring driving" to "that is an insane plan for the time they have" immediately

Phenylephrine and pseudophedrine (at least here in the States). Not safe during pregnancy and will definitely dry your milk up! Happened to my mom when I was 3mo and she got a cold, and the doctors didn't tell her it wasn't safe. They had to figure out how to get me to take a bottle real quick

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

Design was approved in 2024. According to the WaPo the artist said it "represents the colonists before and during the American Revolution. He omitted the olive branch to show that the colonies had not yet reached peace, but a talon remained empty to show that they were waiting for it."

I think it’s cool that some people focus on curing disease and some people focus on understanding what animals are up to and some people think about our place in the universe and how things came to be the way they are. People are driven by curiosity and I promise you you don’t want it any other way

You absolutely do love children differently than pets and livestock. But after having a child of my own I've never been more supportive of people deciding kids aren't for them. This shit is hard!

My dad calls this "the toddler magnification". It takes 2x as long to get 1/2 as much done. I love involving my 2 yr old when possible but jeeeesh does it make everything into an extreme sport

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Look at this chart

I wrote this about him and the new DoD almost a year ago "They want to invade — somewhere, anywhere — and blow shit up." www.jezebel.com/pentagon-pre...

Values I think we all should strive to share: Finding joy in each day Helping others find joy in each day Learning true things Unlearning false things Helping kids feel happy, healthy, and safe Celebrating with music, food, or spectacle It's okay to un-subscribe An edit button I'm out of characters

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Measles is one of those nightmare diseases that, if it hadn't been killing people for hundreds of years, people would ABSOLUTELY be pushing conspiracy theories about right now. It's too nasty in too many different directions to seem natural. But oh, boy, it sure is.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

I keep saying lawyers are going into battle on the front lines every damn day and it matters, it matters so much. Here's a thread from one who never wanted to do immigration law but is doing it anyway under the worst circumstances.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text. Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

REP. STEIL: Some Dems demands put at risk the safety of members of law enforcement CNBC: You mean like taking off their masks and having a badge that shows who they are? STEIL: Well, they're known to their supervisors CNBC: No other law enforcement officials in the US are allowed to wear masks

Never have I wanted to add to my mother's Swarovski collection more than this exact moment

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

I read the “SAVE Act” (the GOP’s new voter suppression bill) so you don’t have to. This is my one page summary. Jesus it’s bad. 1/

sabrina carpenter singing islands in the stream w the muppets has healed me in ways i did not know i needed

I am appalled by the number of people who are willing to look the other way on this issue. Trump is using this lie to try to mess with future elections to stay in office. Let’s have truth prevail. (2/2)

Every time Trump claims election fraud, it is a massive lie and the media should be saying that. Countless lawsuits, recounts, and statistical analysis have proven that our elections are honest & accurate. That is the truth & anyone claiming otherwise is lying. (1/2)

You know some poor grad student is in for a long night when you smell a fresh pot of coffee brewing after 4pm

USian trans people aren't telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom to cause you distress and despair. USian trans people are telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom so you don't vote for his transphobic ass in the primaries. They are giving you actionable information.

Big milestone for little Bao! 💙 Our otter pup is tasting and mouthing shrimp for the first time, an important step in learning how to eat solid foods. Dad Sebastian provided the shrimp. Bao provided the theft. 🍤😂 📹: Animal care staff Chrissy & Katie

OR, we are killing children around the world because a handful of rich white people realized there was a way they could kill Black and brown children globally without getting directly blamed for it

I once had a professor tell me "write drunk edit sober". Woo boy the one time I tried it the number of times I yelled at past me easily tripled

I see people trying to spin this as a win and I beg you to stop playing political strategy games and consider the fucking babies in concentration camps RIGHT NOW

Cartoon by Adam Zyglis

Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.

Philly, like many places in the northeast exemplify the "kind but not nice" people. In high-school our student group got lost on a historical tour and we were told "a bunch of fucking kids should be traveling with someone smarter" as they took our map and re-directed us

Fascists don’t comprehend the simple mundane courageous altruism of ordinary everyday people, because in order for them to believe the things fascism requires they believe, that kind of altruism cannot exist. If it appears, it’s only a cynical lie

It’s also extremely indicative of the likelihood that they didn’t worry about the optics of brutalizing and murdering people like this because it never occurred to them that people like this would be out in the street putting their bodies on the line to defend their neighbors

This stuff re logistics & some people Not Getting it is a lil funny ngl. I have, at 1 time, had a demanding fulltime job, taken care of medical/logistical/emot needs for 2 dying parents, been married, raised a kid (activities, sports etc). Yes, now is v hard. Complex logistics? My bro that's TUESDAY

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

We know the Dem leaders won't make this speech, but we can still embody these ideas as Americans. Continue to support each other and the movement

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

Would you also like to burst out laughing?

Curiosity is his thing. Behind the scenes, the otter pup couldn’t resist checking out a training tube, something that’s been part of his world even before he was born! While the tube is used by parents during training sessions, for this little pup it’s just another fascinating thing to investigate.

i think this gets at something important which is that normal people are rightly pissed off that they’re having normal time stolen from them by this ravaging horde of jumped up mall cops. everybody has to work in the morning! why is it THEIR job to hold their community together in such a basic way!

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
