ya'll. you people out there having sex. with people who have a clitoris. Dr Malik lays it out, for real: youtu.be/NKd1tc6FRww Malik is an MD, a board-certified urologist, and DAMN do I wish she taught my health-ed class!!! She's awesome.

I look at the light, coming in through my stupid Target curtains, the light reflects into and off of my stupid Mason jar that's just sitting on my stupid table. it's beautiful, man. I guess that's why god made photographers. to capture that in 2-D.

I'm not good at conflict. I'm not blaming my dear, lovely, talented old mom for that. But you know what? she did take her plate from the dinner table and ate in the kitchen sometimes.

this video is so excellent. "Everything is just a little bit shittier than you want it to be." I never shopped at Abrocrombe. I can't relate to that part. I got hand-me-downs from my older sibling. but I get her main point! old clothes were better made! I'm old. youtu.be/jCwbU41Icfw

Perform a kick-ass show WHILE WEARING AN N95 mask I meant to say!!! Left the zine link out of the alt text but it’s: laurellynnleake.com/whywemask/

am I doing Social Media correctly?

Morning all. Not seeing any patients today, lots of desk work to do though.

I pour a half-cup of meat tenderizer into each laundry load to get rid of the blood stains.

anyone else having a tough time "rallying the troops," by which I mean, rallying one's motivation to DO THE THING that is important but not particularly urgent right now? As in, someone's knocking on your door or emailing you to DO IT? I hate being a procrastinator. I'd rather be a gardener.

The Moment Leaves spiral downward; the lesson of sakura - Ev'rywhere I look. #poetry #Haiku

Well this interview with Nicole Hemmer is excellent but frightening. That the Epstein blowup and MAGA infighting could just as easily drive the right even further right. The idea that things could get far worse than Trumpism. newrepublic.com/article/2031...

used the AstePro nosespray yesterday after an unavoidable dentist appointment. hoo boy. Take that warning that "drowsiness may occur" seriously. I almost fell asleep upright eating dinner.

Shout out to everyone completely demoralized about the state of the world who still manages to get out of bed each morning. And shout out to you, too if you’re still in bed. This shit is hard. Talk to your friends and neighbors. They’re going though it too, which is both terrifying and comforting.

Someone soothe their white guilt by paying all my bills . Thank you so much

Maybe the next weather shenanigans will blow peoples houses back together

This is bad. Sarah Kendzior is one of the scholars that most understands authoritarianism and our current moment in the US.

Putting sliced potatoes into your & your sweet toddler's socks will NOT cure your "cold." p.s. It's COVID. pss. Geez, ppl will do literally ANYTHING rather than simply wear an N95 to avoid infection by a respiratory virus. pssst: Sorry, your family's "cold" is COVID. bsky.app/profile/werr...

THE GOOD THINGS CAN HAPPEN CAUCUS IS BACK, MOTHERFUCKERS

Wow. While we wait for the few remaining ballots to be counted, we feel like we have won this race. The recent drop put us nearly 1,400 votes ahead, just under the .5 percent threshold for a mandatory recount.

I think it’s now safe to call this race. Progressive urban planner Katie Wilson defeats centrist incumbent Bruce Harrell and will become Seattle’s next mayor.

Tuesday taco salad!

honestly, I think the average American is smarter than one might think, and definitely understands why a "50- year- loan" is a total scam, sponsored by Don the Con. Please don't underestimate the average American. I'm one of them, and even I get this is a scam. bsky.app/profile/pook...

Less than 48 hours after my workplace (a small clinic) put out the call for donations to the food bank, the neighborhood has risen to the need. In case you needed a moment of human positivity.

I can't decide if 'cognitive dissonance' or 'moral injury,' best describes my experience. working each M-F day at a (lovely??) institution pretending everything is basically ok. So, everybody pls join us for Julia's retirement party Fri noon! Sam is bringing cupcakes. Well THAT is moral injury.

In all the years I have worked in health policy GOP/conservative proposals always boil down to the same ideas: block grant/cap #Medicaid, Medicare premium support, unregulated individual health insurance markets and tax-favored accounts like Health Savings Accounts. So we’re back to HSAs this week.

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing. We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

Due respect Senator, your eight colleagues are one of the real dangers. We do not need an adjustment. We do not need a vibe shift. We need a complete rebuilding of the Democratic Party.

damn, I hope I never get on Joyce Carol Oates' bad side. 🔥💀

Okay, I try to avoid foul language on here these days, but WHAT IN THE ABSOLUTE FUCK, @support.bsky.team??

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

"whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation." 💀

we are going to win

welcoming committee at Masked choir. .we sing in N95 masks with open doors and air purifiers

well, hopefully people in Argentina have universal health care. I like to think our taxes do some good, somewhere.

Far Side Poor Humpty

Wanted to practice drawing dynamic poses so I put on Stop Making Sense and set it to 0.5 speed for ease of finding good frames, and WOW, if you want a cinematic experience to make you feel like you’re losing your MIND

Remember 25 years ago when a photo was taken of a fed pointing a gun at a crying refugee child and the image was so shameful it dominated the news cycle for a year

My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.

🚨DID YOU KNOW🚨 "Old Man Trump" is a song by American folk singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie written in 1954 & it’s about trumps Father Fred Trump. The song describes the racist housing practices & discriminatory rental policies of Guthrie’s landlord #FredTrump Like to hear it, here it go ⬇️ 🤷🏽‍♀️

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

I'm tired. I just want to hunker down with my friends and cook food and protect each other

So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader
