Yessss. Gimme that sweet sour death juice. If this isn't how I was meant to go than why would life keep chucking lemons at me? 🍋✨

my other hot take on birth rate discourse is that I really really don’t much care for seeing specifically *cis men* casually chatter about it.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

This tho

Is not tomorrow, boy, the ides of March?

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Doing my #CEUs and it's funny (not funny) how fucking/being attracted to men increases the risk of #eatingdisorders & #bodyimage but it's never blatantly stated as such. Let's blame the #gay instead of the #patriarchy & its warped "beauty" standards 🙄

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors. My report:

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

This will never not piss me off!

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Since America doesn't give af about our actual health & is currently actively discouraging healthcare: Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration is changing how products containing vitamin B6 are packaged & sold due to the risk of high doses causing toxicity & lasting peripheral nerve damage

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

Trump attempted to deploy the California and Texas National Guard in Portland after a judge halted his bid to send Oregon National Guard troops to the city.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

"We're going to create superintelligence" How about making outlook search work first. How about that

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

"Jane Goodall showed us what a life in science could look like: rigorous discovery paired with fierce advocacy for what you study. She gave the world six decades of groundbreaking research on chimpanzees and their habitats, then turned that knowledge into a global movement for conservation." (1/2)

Umm, how about NO. Stay tf out of my house. I'm not paying my bills in my house for some damn company to control what happens in it just because they wanted to be corrupt inside of upgrading the infrastructure

I've said this before, but I feel pretty strongly that the building of concentration camps - and now, the inevitable disappearance of 1,800 people from those camps - is the biggest story in American public health right now that isn't being treated like one

Good to see professional societies coming out against the misinformation from the administration re-emphasizing that acetaminophen is safe in pregnancy .

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning. They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then: No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism AND Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”

When they launch propaganda like this it's a multi-prong attack. We cannot let them renormalize things like autism & adhd being diseases to cure instead of another neurotype We were just getting to where it was starting to be safe for us to exist openly We do not need cured or locked in work camps

Education is more than job training.

Trump wants to collect data from colleges on race and admissions This will require 740,500 additional hours of work I’m sure the THREE employees left at NCES can handle it https://fedscoop.com/education-department-research-data-college-admissions-layoffs-doge-restructuring-federal-contracts/

Disney's furious backtracking doesn't change the underlying problem but I am looking forward to Kimmel's opening monologue tomorrow night.

How delightfully selective bodily autonomy applies to vaccines but not wombs. Apparently the Constitution protects your right to spread measles but not to choose motherhood. One can only admire such principled inconsistency. Freedom means infecting babies, tyranny means reproductive choice.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Already being forced to tell people their insurance isn't covering the new #covid #vaccine since it isn't #CDC recommended Way to make America even MORE unhealthy

Call your mayors. Ask them what their plan is if your city gets invaded. Some cities have plans in place, if yours is one of them make sure to let them know you support & appreciate them. Public facing people get so much grief, the smallest praise can have a huge impact

I have a hard time articulating why I love this book tracker enough to volunteer - especially since I've never managed to stick with any tracker for Anything anywhere near this long This article & the fact it's full of people like the author are why 💜✨ thegameofnerds.com/2025/08/18/w...
