I have read part II and now I feel like I need to throw my laptop into the ocean.

went to the farmers market and now i'm at work. still haven't seen it. still pure. still innocent. focusing on things that are less fucked up (discrimination, police violence).

🎶 🎵 🎶  we got aethelred, aethelflaed, aethelstan, aethelwyne, aethelthryth, aethelgifu! aethelmaer, athelwulf, aethelhard, aethelburg - and of course there's an aethelbert, too! 🎶 🎵 🎶

Hot take: turkey and goose done properly are both extremely tasty. It’s just that most people only make them once or twice a year, if that, so knowing how to do it well is uncommon, and you get no practice.

My expert opinion, after working at homeless shelters and then being homeless, is Give homeless/unhoused people money Give money. They’re adults, they know what they need

DO NOT call up the homeless shelter on thanksgiving or Xmas to see if you can pass a few plates and show your kids the “reason for the season” The homeless shelter is not a petting zoo of human tragedy! The homeless shelter is not a drive thru nativity scene for you to enjoy!

Anyway you should believe all of the people who defended Nuzzi when they told you this is what they think journalism is

good morning, logging on to catch up on what i missed on a serene autumn saturday morning

Oh good, I thought the horrors could begin to subside. But nope, its getting worse. Dread Cthulu, hurry onward...

Mods! MODS!!!

Pope Leo continues to enrage all the right people....

More people should genuinely strive towards religious literacy- not just the punchlines, broad strokes, or memes, but really get an understanding of how/why that religion's followers find it sustaining + meaningful. The 1893 Parliament of World Religions was world-changing, we should honor it. /rant

My guys... you *definitely* need attorneys.

“God Bless America?” Like the song written by Irving fucking Berlin? That “God Bless America?”

People love to pretend like pastel QAnon and RFK and anti-vaxx moms are just a function of bored privilege and ignorance, but the reality is much more complex. These anti-medical birth movements cross class and race lines and exploit very real gendered trauma from medical sexism related to birth.

Please hear me when I say that 1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements 2) they pre-date the age of social media 3) they exist because we have not addressed medical sexism and specifically obstetric violence

It's that time of year

bad news for trump, seems bansky has depicted him holding a red balloon beside a kid who clearly wants the balloon BAD but instead trump is handing it to a fancy tuxedo man in a top hat who's got a big bag with a dollar sign on it, even though he clearly doesn't even CARE about the balloon at ALL

me waking up and opening this app

once again I am cursed with literacy

Oh good, they left Chiropractors as professionals but not Nurses, NPs, PA’s or physical therapists That’s infuriating

Reporter to Trump: Would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani mayoralty? Trump: "I would. I really would. Especially after the meeting, absolutely."

Friendly reminder to anyone who is gonna be around babies this holiday season to please make sure your TDAP is up to date!

I had to find out how cute this was. Turns out: incredibly cute and I needed to know this. I put some time into these alt-tags

I think people like this truly buy their own master race bullshit, because believing they could possibly be successful in this plot is entirely unmoored from reality. Superlatively evil and fully delusional.

remember *earlier today* when the president threatened to kill members of congress?

My phone is trying to make a fool of me

Rolling out the Matt Christman quote from after Charlottesville (2017) again:

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.

People always attribute the wrong shit to the Puritans. Grumble grumble.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

After DHS denied the hate symbol reclassification story, wash Post reporter Tara Copp says the coast guard is changing it back — and questions how this happened in the first place. Jon Favreau says they lied again. (Also DHS feeds have regularly been putting out hateful stuff)
