YOU GUYS WHO TOLD FUCKING RAFFI GOD DAMN IT

wishbone could play hannah montana but miley cyrus couldn’t play sherlock holmes

health outcomes, patient satisfaction, cost of care, workforce satisfaction, health equity, and a sixth, secret gender

New — I spoke to parents whose kids are former patients of NYU Langone's trans youth health care program about the Texas criminal subpoena for their private health records. "I was furious. I was in disbelief. I was scared for my child's well-being." Read my full report:

One of the many benefits of moving from outer St. John’s to close-in SE is learning just how fast the City That Works can complete sidewalk construction

yes. correct.

As much as I love Janelle Monáe, I have to admit Kevin Barnes singing “everybody’s so impressed/you’ve got Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep under your pillow” on their duet is an incredible own.

I have been making fun of the Odyssey since I was a teenager and I’m not going to stop just because a director with a very parasocial fanbase has made it his mission to turn the Ancient Greek version of “Dude Where’s My Car” into a Very Serious Movie.

adapt Claire North you cowards

“Multnomah Athletic Club suicide bomber released his pink-dyed chickens into a public park where they were rescued by Redditors” is so Portland it’s physically painful

Currently having thoughts and offering prayers.

Yesterday my brother sent an urgent message to the family chat reporting that our father has once again made bottle bombs and we should open this year’s pinot noir ASAP. He also sent the security footage.

Yep. It isn’t 2023. Telemedicine abortion remains broadly available everywhere: •Domestic providers can switch to a miso-only regime; slightly less effective but still extremely safe •International providers will still mail mifepristone uninterrupted The field has been planning for this moment.

Happy May Day. They can’t kill us all.

Every month I get an email from my alumnae org inviting me to a Seven Sisters/Ivies happy hour and I cannot think of anyone I am less interested in spending time with

Hire either a Viking or a Basque fisherman to help me introduce cow pox to the Americas. With a sufficient disease reservoir, there’s a chance smallpox does not wipe out most of the population 400+ years later. Otherwise, I dunno, die in childbirth like everyone else.

Dreamed that I said very dramatically “I will not see 30 again” and like, fuck.

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

I have the best hair of my life from going to bed in a wet scrunchie, just in time to spend the day cleaning the garage.

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

I didn't make this, but it needs a reposting.

u never see this on a tradlife mood board

Spring snacks, but make it spiky! 🌸

Gen X, this is your reminder to schedule your colonoscopy

Shareholders accuse the NYT of bias against trans people, Sulzberger gives a compelling counterargument, saying 'nuh uh.' Check out this week's TWIBS by @alyssaur.bsky.social

He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence

Antibiotics did not solve my ten days of sinus headache so now I get to take prednisone. I’m going to be so productive at things that I don’t actually need to do.

Tim Powers, THE STRESS OF HER REGARD, finished 4/21. Reread. I’d forgotten how absolutely batshit this is, a kitchen sink of myth and physics and history and horror and Romantic poets and geography and gore. It’s way too long. I love it.

My parents visited for my birthday and we had a lovely time doing yardwork and going to the art museum and the Japanese Garden and the Evergreen Museum where they keep the Spruce Goose which is genuinely mind-bendingly enormous

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

Happy birthday to me, fix your hearts or die 🥰

Exactly one year ago today:

I’ve been avoiding picking up antibiotics for what’s definitely a sinus infection because the side effects suck, there’s no guarantee it’s bacterial, overuse contributes to antibiotic resistance, etc

Man idk how to express how demoralizing it is to see people doing joke support for the Pope as the Catholic Church implements the most draconian trans healthcare ban anywhere in the US. It's a FULL ADULT TRANS HEALTHCARE BAN!!!THEY KEEP BUYING MORE HOSPITALS!!!!!!! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

men can’t understand what it’s like for women to see story after story after story of women being victims of sexual violence in a culture where it’s routine; what it’s like to live in a world that is fundamentally hostile to our existence. it’s a wonder we leave the fucking house, let alone thrive.

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

The world may be ending but r/HistoricalCostuming is melting down over whether ofc stands for “of course” or “of fucking course” and I think that’s beautiful

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

well, I’m glad I already called out sick

i think we should be clear that just because the astronauts did not immediately declare the moon haunted, does not mean it is not haunted it may mean that the astronauts are now themselves haunted have we prepared for this eventuality and if so how

"Google’s data centers gulped down nearly 550 million gallons of water in The Dalles in 2025. That’s nearly 40% of all the water consumed in the entire city and a huge jump from the year before." www.oregonlive.com/silicon-fore...

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Stella Gibbons, COLD COMFORT FARM, finished 4/2. This book is funnier every time I read it.

not to be dramatic but the person who came up with abandoned cart emails should be fed feet-first to hungry pigs

so i don't live there now but i am From Philly, it's meaningfully part of me even 20+ years out and i'm not into hockey but this guy has transcended mere hockey mascot, imo. i've been thinking about this kind of treatment for him basically since go & especially since they doubled down on the flag-

🐇🐇!

Just saw an unleashed dog wander out of the park and go completely around the block before the owner noticed. Get your shit together, Portland.
