Time to post my own polio experience yet again: thetyee.ca/Opinion/2018...

It's a little weird to just transition from more intensive ERP therapy to just using it as a tool to live my life. It's very anticlimatic but freeing at the same time. It's like waking up in the morning to the rest of your life after a rough day knowing that now things are gonna be better.

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

I know we're all seeing 87 unhinged things per day, but "guys if our multi billion dollar product doesn't start being useful for something, literally anything, the people might not appreciate us wrecking the planet over it anymore" is a truly bananapants thing to say out loud

Welp. They got the bear spray guy

I know the story is going around. This is Morristown, New Jersey. Half an hour from Newark Airport. Its on the hinterlands of New York City. It's a fight I know ICE isn't ready for. Also, this is People magazine. It's as normal supermarket America as it gets. Let's hope this lights something.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

I’ve been telling my husband that the comparisons to 1930’s Germany aren’t necessary… We’ve got better comparisons and more accurate comparisons at home! Had this convo yesterday

I still get told that removing our music from spotify was like “leaving money on the table” and like lol, lmao

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

i just got a new job at Bluesky Inc. where my job is i'm the person who decides if your links embed successfully on Discord or not. on a good day i spend about 7.5 hours on the toilet

I want to cook more ancient roman food, it'd be cool

Tomorrow night I'm quitting Cigarettes btw, I'm gonna be smoking the remainder of what I have left tomorrow (not many left) and then starting the day after once I've ran out the day prior, I won't buy another nicotine product again. Wish me luck :3

Quick OCD update, I won't make it long. Apparently I was confusing Exposures and Response prevention. I thought that when I was actually doing Exposures, I was doing Response prevention, and I thought when I was doing Response prevention, that I was actually doing Exposures. I had it BACKWARDS 💀

Please support Minnesota right now however you can, it’s horrifying what’s happening and they could come for any one of our communities next.

Extremely dishonest headline: what they mean is that Wikipedia charges data companies for scraping the website. It already does this for Google it is just further expanding this.

I know this won’t get a lot of attention beyond “well it’s New Hampshire, what did you expect” but I want you all to know there are a lot of kids and families of color here and we all deserve better than this kind of garbage representation

hexachloroethane, saving you a click. extremely toxic, so much so the military stopped using it because the damage is too extreme. this isn't a crowd control agent, this is a literal chemical weapon.

Ngl, challenging my OCD whenever it comes up or just whenever, is actually so much more freeing than doing ERP at specific times. It's still ERP, it's just that you really lean into that fear every single time it comes up, it's nice to not plan my recovery around a specific time of day.

I'm seeing the calls for the suspension of ICE and CBP, now that it's affecting the majority of people. Meanwhile me, a Hispanic and brown person, has been detained at the border & threatened to be thrown back to Mexico despite being born in the US & a US Citizen. This happened to me in 2007

it is 2016. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2020. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2026. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithf

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Here are the brands and sizes recalled 👇🏻 this is a serious recall. please check your fridge if you buy these brands.

Fandom needs interaction to thrive, if u want to keep enjoying art, fic, edits, animations, silly little hcs, and all of that gud stuff, give some of the love back that creators pour out for you, fandom shouldn't be /content/ to mindlessly consume, let it be a dialogue of love and appreciation 🙏✨❤️

I feel like honestly one of the major reasons why I feel so unmotivated to learn anything that isn't Spanish is because it's like, virtually impossible for me to go somewhere that speaks another language economically speaking. Maybe I need to find some internet forum or something

Stop it! Stop. Stop! 🛑 Generative AI cannot solve crimes or “unmask” faces from single images. YOU ARE NOT HELPING ANYTHING! You are—quite possibly—HINDERING justice. Disinformation & misinformation can come from well-meaning people, too, not just propaganda arms. Let Minnesota’s BCA do its work!

posting for acknowledgement since a couple of mutuals follow em and prob don't know but @gutted.live has done cub porn of someone's sona without consent, and this seems to be a reoccurring issue they have openly interacted with the person they've done this too so if they follow you beware and block

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Turns out that if I add the olive brine and olives to a martini I actually kinda like it, so I think that a martini definitely needs to be a savory drink to balance out the strange flavor of vermouth. I'm gonna be aesthetic with it and smoke a cig while drinking a martini while staring at the moon

Part of me wonders if the whole "former gifted kid" thing is actually a presentation of OCD. I've been going through why it seems so insanely difficult for me to focus on important things lately and I discovered through some search that it's a stress response, not lack of focus.

A new U.S. Postal Service rule for how your mail is handled could affect your ballot, taxes and more. The rule, which went into effect on Christmas Eve, redefines the meaning of a postmark, the date mark printed on most mailed items. Tim McPhillips has more.

Mamdani been mayor for five minutes & is pulling up on slumlords, tearing up flooring himself, disgusted, and took the whole media with him. He is HIM 😭

Anti-war march in NYC, organized overnight. Happening right now, 8th Ave. People care.

now more than ever:

cookiefied! #animation

Time to dust this one off again

libshit wikipedia editors are trying to neutral voice the current illegal aggression against venezuela only to get told by a venezuelan editor that he is literally being bombed right now. un-fucking real

I don't know if anyone else deals with this but like, does anyone else occasionally have this like, amalgam of thoughts and memories that makes absolutely no comprehensible sense that causes your anxiety to skyrocket when it goes through your head like a loud train you can't ignore?

It kinda sucks still trying to work towards what I feel like I should've achieved years ago. I feel like I'll feel better about my situation once I finally have a car but until then I feel trapped and behind in life really.

Damn I guess the curse of the age 23 canon event is gonna be real for me

Also, Happy Haitian Independence Day! 🎨 @localquackhead.bsky.social #HaitianIndependenceDay #HID

I'll also say, a Martini will f u up bro, the recipe I followed had 2.5oz vodka/gin, and 0.5oz vermouth, it's basically 3 oz of hard liquor for the most part lmao, tbf I'm also on an empty stomach bc diet

Finally made a Martini, I don't really like martinis apparently. I prefer Old Fashioneds. At least the Vermouth was only $4 🤷‍♂️. Wound up drinking half of it, spilling a quarter bc I got startled at like, 7:30 from some rando firing off a firework, and poured out the last quarter bc I didn't want it
