So when is Karen Attiah getting her job back, @washingtonpost.com ? Or are we just punishing Black women for standing up to bigot idol-worshipping?

Sometimes I get angry about a shirt falling apart but then I realize I’ve had it for about five years and wear it about 1x a week. And while there are some shirts I’ve had for over 20 years, with how shitty everyday clothes have gotten, 5 years isn’t a bad run.

So. Tylenol is basically the *only* pain relief you are allowed as a pregnant person. I live with chronic pain and the pain clinic kicked me to the curb once I found out I was pregnant.

I'm not surprised the genocidal, former VP is also engaging in hateful rhetoric against trans people.

CDC ACIP meeting presenters are suggesting Covid vax can trigger cancer just based on case reports that don't prove association. Meanwhile, research does seem to suggest that Covid can trigger dormant cancer cells. news.cuanschutz.edu/cancer-cente...

BREAKING: The Board of Immigration Appeals is trying to deport our client Mario Guevara, a journalist from El Salvador, despite his clear legal path to residency and an immigration judge's order to grant his release on bond.

Eslam has been raising funds on Bluesky for a while now. I used to follow her original account. It’s shameful how Bluesky treats Palestinians just trying to survive and help their families.

#sotd was “With the Candlestick” from Clue. This might just be the perfect smoky-incense-labdanum fragrance for me. It has a vampiric quality. The incense is a dead ringer for the Catholic Church incense I grew up with though, so there’s a little religious trauma in the mix.

If you're looking to learn more about #Sudan, consider this list of accounts across platforms! Sorry BlueSky is not included, I think we're still very few on here that I haven't been able to compile us yet. #KeepEyesOnSudan

The core of heteronormativity is enforced gender norms and female subjugation, not a contrast between masculine and feminine.

1. Sitting outside and watching pollinators 2. Spending 15 minutes with a good book 3. Movie night with the kid and spouse 4. Exchanging memes with friends 5. A dessert that “hits the spot” (varies based on cravings)

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Transgender people are owed a retraction and apology from @wsj.com. The lie has already become canon to millions and it seems the least they could do.

Haven’t been participating much in #perfumesky world lately but for good reason: my kid started kindergarten this year and I’ve been catching every cold she brings home. For the past week or so my sinuses have been a mess and the few things I *can* smell just cause coughing fits.

This child was infected with measles before they were able to be vaccinated (under 12 months), likely from someone unvaccinated. They survived the infection but years later they’re dead. The risk of SSPE for an infant infected with measles is 1 in 600, & it’s 95% fatal. Your vaccine protects others

you cant really say much to how obvious the hypocrisy is everywhere without driving yourself mad, so you don't have to talk about it. just remember that you don't ever have to forgive them when the tide turns and they try to ask for it. they'll whine like they always do about unreasonable leftists

Again, he died doing what he loved: demonizing marginalized people

“"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” - Charlie Kirk

Focusing on what truly benefits kids, with their input, would save us all. I wish that, collectively, we desired a free future for children more than we desired the power to harm or control another adult. Every day I try to imagine that better world for all the children who should get to live there.

When we told our Death Panel listeners that we were having a baby, hundreds of people wrote in to say some version of the same thing: that knowing, loving & raising children had further radicalized them. That it exposed how much of the world is built to punish vulnerability and make care impossible.

such a classic scene

here we go, a whole set for anyone who needs them

Tylenol/autism stuff is bad for many reasons, but it will be used to push the idea that pregnant people shouldn't have pain relief. Women's pain is already dismissed.

Florida’s decision will have horrific consequences for public health. More and more kids are going to get sick and die from vaccine preventable diseases. Their parents won’t, though. Florida is proudly sending their kids to their deaths.

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk

IMO almost every popular view of gender massively downplays the intensity and virulence of anti-effeminacy as a form of gender violence and prejudice.

The contradiction at the heart of transmisogyny has always been that people will insist they don't see us as women while treating us exactly like women, and specifically as women they are entitled to sexually exploit or brutalize.

why can't the democrat messaging on trans people be "no, we are not going to force children to undergo genital inspections in order to play sports"

Why do I blame Bill Cassidy for the destruction of the CDC and the NIH? Because he is a physician. He knew or should have known the danger that Kennedy poses to the U.S. and the globe. Kennedy has never hidden what he is—a predator, a fraud, an anti-science hack, and a gargantuan narcissist.

How come I just found out about #smaugust the last day of August? So many cool dragons, y’all

…has this whiny little shit never stepped foot in a supermarket? I need to go to the farmers market to get sourdough but I can still readily buy wonderbread at the grocery.

The same in the ‘we must retvrn’ and it’s an AI image of a nonexistent 80s bedroom full of video games, movies and comics. They’re wistful for manufactured memories of ephemera. You can eat your white bread, nobody took these things away from you, you yearn for your childhood, to be a child

According to my kid, a man eating shark is “a shark that eats only boys, not girls”

People need to be DONE done with these capitulation contrarians. Matt Yglesias, Tom Nichols, Pod Save guys, all of them. I don't care if they "sometimes make a good point," they spend at least as much time actively arguing dangerous ones that enable the fascists. No (discursive) quarter.

Wow
