I painted the Yachats whale. 💔

People love to pretend like pastel QAnon and RFK and anti-vaxx moms are just a function of bored privilege and ignorance, but the reality is much more complex. These anti-medical birth movements cross class and race lines and exploit very real gendered trauma from medical sexism related to birth.

People get mad when I say this, but until the medical community 1) admits the harm they’ve done to women and 2) makes meaningful reparations to their practices, women flocking to pseudoscience and harmful “health” trends will continue to get worse.

I’ve been trying to be super specific about my lingo too. I think it helps?

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..." https://arxiv.org/html/2511.15304v1

opening up exciting new frontiers in AI-related lawsuits “ChatGPT got me audited”

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance

Was she watching the McLaughlin Group in a constant state of arousal

I'm not reading that.

Yeah she didn't get a bad edit, her quotes in newer articles are somehow worse.

Calling childcare "goodies" is some bonkers framing.

Over here losing my mind that actual media are misstating the weight/size of the whale in Yachats. She’s a yearling, and a few thousand pounds, not a full grown adult whale FFS.

Please look at their faces. See them.

I'm hoping Lisa Ballard from MMI got a bad edit because their quote came across not great. Especially since they didn't acknowledge that it beached due to ghost nets from crabbing and made it sound like it just happened via nature.

The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.

I’m so upset about the beached whale in Yachats. Volunteers worked all night in the cold surf to keep the poor whale alive, who never would’ve been beached if humans hadn’t lined the ocean with crab lines. Enjoy your holiday snow crabs, you probably killed a whale!

This is so mean and so funny.

The crows stopped by on their way to the big roost downtown.

Ferris Wheel Press decided to post in the fountain pen subreddit and it’s going quite poorly. (They’re terrible, I’m enjoying this, fountain pen drama is so entertaining.)

Before anyone gets too carried away here.

62 wolves have been killed in Montana since hunting season opened. Killing wolves is neither supported by science nor ethics, yet it becomes a reality when wolves lose federal ESA protections. As the numbers climb, how many more wolves will be lost without reason?

Cleaning out my screenshots and shout out to that time I found out my health insurance company (a co-op set up as part of the ACA) went under because the website quit working.

Way back when, mayor Pete's reform-minded chief of police, Daryl Boykins, recorded some of his officers making vile racist statements. So Buttigieg fired... the police chief.🤡 Boykins was the 1st Black police chief in city history, and was building trust with Black folk. But it gets worse...

Buttigieg polled an impressive 0% with Black voters. Zero. Percent. Do you know how kind and friendly Black voters are? Everyone gets like 3%, just for showing up! You have to work to go down from there! It's 2025, And I still run into people that don't know why Black voters don't like Buttigieg.

I remember when Lieberman got picked as VP candidate and I was so enraged because that man cut me in line at the grocery store in Glover Park and I never forget or forgive that kind of behavior.

Whether it's Joe Lieberman going MAGA or Tim Kaine caving in on ACA, both vice-presidential nominees turned out to be assholes.

One of the neighborhood teens asked to pet Mally (he loves teenagers) and she bent down and was petting him and look him in the eyes and said “you are just so beautiful” and it was so sweet and wholesome.

if you guys put a tenth of this energy into protecting trans people things would be a lot more hopeful right now

Uhhhh Zohran won the youth vote by more than 50 points and the male vote by almost double digits. To my knowledge, he has zero Nazi tattoos

I almost screamed at a parent at the park about the migratory bird act, in case you’re wondering how my morning has gone.

Think of your favorite celebrity, whether they’re an actor, musician, athlete, whatever. They’re probably pretty well-off, financially. But they are still closer to auctioning off their possessions to cover medical bills than they are to being a billionaire.

Also: Utilities should be free for regular people, and paid for by massive taxes on data center owners.

We have to start regulating the cattle industry out of the Americas. Cattle are an unbelievably destructive, water intensive, methane intensive, invasive species on our landscape.

I think Elizabeth Warren would've been a great president.

Just give people money who say they need money—let them use it however they want; ban vehicles from public streets that are over a certain size; melt the guns. I have more but that’s a good start.

This person was infected with COVID twice and recovered. A 3rd infection brought manageable long COVID symptoms, but they were still able to work. After a 4th infection a few months ago, they haven’t recovered at all — showing how repeated infections can cause severe, lasting damage.

I’m sorry I just found out that in 1379, as in, 650 years ago, a baby girl was born in Yorkshire and named Diot Coke history is a fucking joke lmao

“But, Sarah, why are you such an asshole about offleash dogs? You should stop being such a Karen.” Me: www.kgw.com/article/news...

Encouraging people to “be entrepreneurs” and negotiate their own health insurance with a multi-billion-dollar for-profit industry is like telling someone to take their Costco membership fee and go negotiate directly with food manufacturers.

AI is a fascist technology, soooo, hey, this makes sense
