you know how if you had a nickel for every time "you get off a plane, realize you left your luggage behind at the origin airport, panic, then remember you can just pull your luggage through a magic portal and it's all good?" you'd have enough nickels to buy a plane ticket? or is that just me

Los Angeles community seeks justice for Black man killed by off-duty ICE agent on New Years Eve Keith Porter was killed by an off-duty ICE agent who officials claim was responding to “an active shooter” call, but locals say otherwise. thegrio.com/2026/01/08/l...

four pills

pills are pillsy-er when they come in different colors. when all of them are white, are you even taking meds?? I take nine pills in the morning, but four of them are white and one of them is beige, so I think it only counts as four. five tops

god the android ui has gotten so much worse. it was never great, but it seems they're using "oh just use the AI assistant" as an excuse to not even bother I also *used to have one already set* and it's been overridden somehow. ugh

in the last five years, I have lived in eight different homes, in two different states on opposite sides of the US I'm sure this was all perfectly rational and none of those moves had anything to do with having bipolar disorder or a fearful avoidant attachment style

The 8 Dems who voted against ACA are embracing eugenics. This decision will disproportionately harm disabled people. Many Disabled people have pre existing conditions & won’t be able to afford insurance. Many live in legislated poverty. Guess we aren’t dying fast enough for them

california republicans have no idea how good they have it they complain about $6 gas prices it's way easier to pay $6 gas with a $20 minimum wage than it is to pay for $3 gas on a $5 minimum wage

new neurologist: Did you have a tilt table test? me: I did, it was unrevealing, but my cardiologist still diagnosed POTS of symptoms, and I do my own orthostatic testing daily *hands over pages of graphs* new neurologist: *reads graphs* Oh, yeah you have POTS, we don't need more testing

this is your periodic reminder that hair is skin, and is in fact the same fundamental skin structure as fingernails, feathers, and reptile scales. weirdly, not fish scales though. those are something else and of course claws and talons are bones

I'm pretty sure posting us political satire at midnight pacific time is how to do the most numbers if I've learned anything from social media it's that you get the most engagement when nearly your entire target audience is asleep

I'm okay with them banning trans people from the military, as long as they also ban cis people. fair's fair

UNEND season 2 is killing me in like a good way but 😭

I really hope I can get to a place where I can do improv again. even if I can just perform once or twice a month I'm in the first year of my illness being this severe, so I really don't know what to expect. I have my fingers crossed it'll get easier to leave bed as the weather gets colder
