damn what is wrong with me, i am having the hardest time concentrating on work, i lament as i compulsively refresh live feeds of unspeakable horrors

I'm so sleepy that I am considering going back to bed even though they are literally jack hammering in my basement right now. I think I would fall asleep.

I deliberately moved to this multicultural suburb! I love hearing a dozen languages and eating food from so many countries and learning about different holidays :) I love that my daughter dismissed several possible colleges as "too white."

Y'know, I don't mind medical offices that can't do online appointments. I mean, I WISH they could, because I haaaaaate calling, but I understand they're difficult for anything that isn't a 100% standard boring set timeframe. But if you can't offer online scheduling, TAKE IT OFF YOUR WEBSITE.

National Treasure Alexandra Petri does it again. I'm crying onto my laptop keyboard right now.

Avi to guy here to look at our asbestos situation: Where you from? Him: [pause] You mean what country or...? Avi: I mean where in the DC area. Avi can be a jerk but he's not *that* kind of jerk. Of course this dude doesn't know that, so I don't blame him.

I love when you tell people how terrible Newsom is, they're always like, "Well, it's nice to have ideals, but if it comes down to him or the Nazi in the general, *I* am going to vote for him" WE'RE TELLING YOU HOW TERRIBLE HE IS NOW SO IT'S *NOT* A CHOICE BTW HIM & A NAZI, CARL. THAT'S THE POINT.

THE HUMAN BRAIN: so we’re going to need between seven and nine hours of sleep every night in order to function HUMANS: okay THE HUMAN BRAIN: and I’m gonna do everything in my power to make sure we never, ever get it.

Guys, what will we do if 20,000 blood thirsty monsters who have fired a gun before don't have our tax dollars to attack the public? That's just one question some of our most educated yet dumbest intellectual soldiers have

Wednesday is TRANSPHOBES ARE TRASH DAY! Congratulations to those who celebrate this wonderful day. Also, every other day is also Transphobes are Trash Day, I forgot to mention that.

If you see this, we IMPLORE YOU to post a picture from whatever device you’re using without explanation.

I’ve gotta tell you - I’ll never vote for ANYONE who doesn’t call for an end to this, ever again. I’m a middle aged suburban mom nobody and I’m willing to put my life/safety/freedom on the line. I moved here to have a cute boring life. So if you’re not willing to fight, then shut the fuck up and

Thread. [the shorthand about her that is often uplifted on social media always does her a disservice and also does Rosa Parks one too. Glad for this thread]

It is impossible to properly calculate the depth and breadth of the courage and sacrifice of those prepared to confront white supremacy and assert their right to full citizenship. We - and by that I mean ALL Americans - owe them a great debt. Rest in Peace & Power Claudette Colvin.

All health insurance is a scam, but dental insurance is quadruply so. This year, I have to get a dental implant, which my insurance won't cover at *all* and Yael is having dental surgery, which the insurance will cover about 1/4 of. Maybe. Possibly. If we're very very very lucky and I yell at them.

Woot! This is great news for all humans who just want everyone to live in peace. Betar was a shande and I bid them good riddance and hope the door hits them on the way out.

At the county council hearing on an act to codify protection of immigrants. County Republican lady just gave the biggest load of bull I have seen since I was last on a farm. High school kids speaking now are wonderful and I want to hug them.

RT this with your home river. Potomac now, Patuxent growing up :)

To be fair, it sounded better in the original German.

Froze my ass off at the Iowa City anti-ICE rally, but it was worth it

Suspect arrested in predawn fire that left parts of Mississippi’s largest synagogue in charred ruins A fire heavily damaged Jackson’s only synagogue before dawn Saturday – the same house of worship that was firebombed by the Ku Klux Klan in 1967 because the rabbi had been an advocate for civil…

The doctor who was prevented from administering aid was indeed a medical doctor. He doesn't wish to speak to the media but I know his identity and can confirm the person who tried to help Renee Good and was prevented to by ICE is indeed an internal medicine doctor in Minnesota.

This is so awesome! My husband and I used to try to do something similar (but less organized!) in the DC area. We're not as cosmopolitan here, but we've got a good variety. Uyghur cuisine was one of my faves. Oooh, maybe Yael and I should go there for lunch today...

Thank you, Sen. Waldstreicher. I just bugged you about this last week and I'm happy to see this issue getting pushed. It's past time we fixed this.

Gov of Maryland: [ensures vaccine access for MD kids] Multiple assholes on FB: BUT HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO COST????!!!!! Me: Good to know you care more about money than the lives and health of kids. Way to have lousy priorities, you absolute numpty.

Makes sense. I firmly believe that Ledo Pizza has extended my lifespan. It's a fundamental part of my life! Barak and I are having a pizza from Ledo for dinner tonight in her honor ::salutes::

I...thought I had therapy at noon today? Maybe not? Did I write down the wrong day or time? Ugh. I guess I'm going to work and if she logs in, she logs in. Gah.

Abolish Ice, fire them all, and then prosecute everyone, based on every complaint. I don't care if it takes a decade. I want these people ten years from now afraid that their friends and loved ones will find out they worked for ICE.

Fortunately, I've long had an utter disregard for my personal safety, so I hope that I will record and observe when given the opportunity. ICE's behavior is disgusting and we must resist.

TFW we might have to actually buy Dell computers for our next purchases and urge others to buy them as well o_O

::claps hands gleefully:: Oh! Yes, that does help a little bit! :D

As we, the good people of America, remember J6 with horror and sadness, spare a thought for the residents of the city it happened in. DC is often overlooked as a place where folks live, but this trauma happened to us, on our streets, in the place we call home.

For everyone giving Hilton Hotels credit for cancelling ICE reservations…don’t. That specific hotel is independently owned. Hiltons statement: "Hilton Hotels serve as welcoming places for all" and "the actions referenced are not reflective of Hilton values."

I enjoy Japanese superhero shows like Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, Garo, and Ultraman! I write fanfic and can rant for hours about how much less toxic the masculinity is. They also star very pretty people, so the aesthetics are ::chef kiss:: Tokusatsu is just plain fun, which we all need in our lives.

Sharing this again as i feel some of us really need it today.

It's okay to enjoy different versions of the same food or even just the "low status" version. For example, I love boxed mac and cheese with the cheese powder and I also love a fancy shmancy rotini with gruyere and cauliflower. They're both tasty :)

Oh. My. Unspecified Deity. I'm so sleepy this am that I'm literally falling asleep sitting upright and in a meeting. (It took me five separate tries to type the word "asleep", BTW.) I want to take a nap, but I really need to take a walk ::sobs:: Will that wake me up or make me sleepier? ::shrug::

Who shall rid me of this turbulent president?

always true

Oh gods, I've been trying to avoid blocking this dude from shul, but he just used *Canary Mission* as "evidence" for something and holy cow. If you don't know, they're a doxxing org that keeps dossiers on "antisemitic" activity, which includes, y'know, "not hating Palestinians enough".
