Hey everyone, I was trying to avoid asking, but I got laid off by the school I was working for & got sick last week during day-to-day substitute work. Probably can’t work for most of the few weeks left in the semester. I don’t get paid over the summer and my savings are dwindling. Anything helps.

no one can stop you from creating nasty little recipes, forging new frontiers in fusion cuisine. you can combine doro wat and red beans & rice. you can put 43 cloves of garlic in it. it’s actually completely legal to eat a ton of spicy hard boiled eggs. the government has no power over onions.

get Flock out of your community, now. once again grateful to City leadership for finally seeing the light, even if y’all did ignore us when we warned you about this shit before you installed it.

what do you mean there won’t be anywhere to park at the hospital. how are people supposed to go to the hospital. i made this appointment six months ago.

❗️Donations needed❗️ We’ve got multiple requests for tents & are hoping to order extras to prep for possible increase in evictions for America 250 events this summer. Fundraising goal: $400! C*shApp: $RemoraHouseDC Givebutter: givebutter.com/remorahouse

Well, it happened. A client disregarded my advice about using generative AI and guess what? It gave them bad advice AND the judge ruled that by using it, Client waived confidentiality and ordered us to turn a bunch of private stuff over. STOP USING GENERATIVE AI FOR LEGAL THINGS. I BEG YOU.

the president was fined $200 for late reporting on MILLIONS in trades. i just this morning paid a bigger fine than that for guessing a little wrong when i made my estimated quarterly tax payments last year.

yeah i guess this gang of adolescent cardinals are my friends now, not a big deal

he’s doing it all wrong! you’re not supposed to shout at the birds.

just a dad taking his kids out for a nice lunch

the whole gang going crazy for mulberries

this same dynamic also applies to a lot of the media coverage - “surely I, as a Serious Politics Person, would not be involved in covering a complete lunatic as a normal politician, so I must invent ever more elaborate reasons why he isn’t a lunatic”

5/16: Cville: trustworthy folks are reporting a batch of cocaine in town that’s cut with fentanyl. Please test your supply and don’t use alone. Reshare this post. Cville Harm Reduction is distributing test strips and Narcan to restaurants on the corner and downtown if you need one.

they don't even WANT my vote anymore. they're straight up telling me to kick rocks every fucking day lately.

you can say literally anything to a big-city reporter on a cletus safari and they will put it in the newspaper

i will not vote for any democrat that encourages throwing the trans community under the bus, i dont care who the opponent is i will not participate in an election where the choice is between two candidates that will attack marginalized communities to reach their personal political aspirations

what is the purpose of the democrat

One thing you can do to make a small difference that adds up over time is, if you're in the position, to hire trans people and refuse to hire bigots. I've done both and it's super fucking easy. You just tell the chuds you're not interested in hiring any shitheads.

i still don’t know what to do about it and goddamn has it ever gotten worse over the last few years. it got so bad so fast.

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

“opinion journalist” is such a funny job title

public sector collective bargaining bans were some of the last laws from Jim Crow still in force until relatively recently.

gwen does fantastic work as usual on some of the 401,000 trans people who’ve had to flee hostile territory in their own country in the past 18 months.

OMG the DOJ lawyer just said presidential power has never been "circumcised." He was trying to say "circumscribed."

genuinely forgot this freak existed, it absolutely escaped my notice that he’s in charge of counterterrorism now

return to pillow mountain

god i love voir dire. average people will just say wild ass shit to a judge utterly unprompted. it’s so beautiful.

Unicorn Riot is less than $10k away from the target goal amount. UR does important work, if you can contribute something please chip in or share the campaign. Trying to bury opposition in legal debt is a silencing technique. Help them fight back.

In response to the year of negative reporting on Flock and its harms, the vendor has started hosting webinars on how police chiefs should engage city government at budget hearings. What you’re seeing is a corporate-backed propaganda campaign in real time.

who knocked over my seedling? if only the culprit had left some kind of clue.

I found a hidden gem on the other site. Jason Kessler asks Marc Randazza if he has a case for defamation against Gavin McInnes and Randazza replies that he doesn't know if would be hired by McInnes and then replies with a Rorshach gif. Randazza is now McInnes' lawyer.

why is there an oompa loompa yelling at women so close to a helicopter, yet another egregious OSHA violation at wonka inc

i love it but i’m already thinking about the next color, i’m out of control

this is why, when we win, we gotta win all the way.

i like to think i would keep doing the work that i do even if the audience was small because i find the work fulfilling and sometimes the things i write are important or meaningful... but goddamn i don't know if i could do it if i knew the audience was 4 people and a dozen page crawling bots

i ordered a bouquet of peonies to be sent to my mom for mother's day. they arrived late. she sent me a picture when they arrived this evening, right when she opened the package. it wasn't peonies. it wasn't a bouquet at all. it was 75 loose tulips. the website doesn't even sell a box of 75 tulips.

It really is just Calvinball at this point. No norms, rules, precedent, or logical consistency.

former proud boy jason kessler has filed a defamation suit against proud boys’ founder gavin mcinnes over gavin’s claims that jason was the SPLC’s paid informant at unite the right

i'm almost disappointed his address is in the paperwork. i found him the old fashioned way months ago (looking up new corp filings under his mother's new married name, finding an LLC in new mexico, then searching property records in every county in 3 states until i found a transaction for that LLC)

Let's fucking go! I hope the judge sentenced them both to go to hell.

JUST SAY NO to content farms.

this seems like a really good dog

Hey gang you may have seen that my dog Willow had to have surgery on her right hind leg. The surgery for her left hind leg will be later this summer. I'm looking for help paying for these expensive procedures. Please give anything you can and share the link here and on other social media.

getting what you asked for isn’t all it’s cracked up to be sometimes
