if you ever want to NOT stop being vegan, listen to the show. they're asked: "why is dark meat juicer than white meat"? They answer calmly and talk about blood vessels. don't eat cooked blood vessels. (apparently, that's what makes it "juicy.") this is a weird time of year (holidays)

At work: please forgive weird emojis you colleagues might send during the holiday season, and stuff. in the US rn, it's thxgiving. which brings up lots nostalgia for ppl and stuff, feelings. For those of us still able to access emotions, which is good! not tuned out living under a fascist regime

it's one thing to drop a slippery jar of Costco chopped garlic (which it turns out, has a LOT of liquid inside, that loves to seep into every crevice) & watch it travel into your heating vent before you can divert it with a kitchen towel. it's another thing to have nobody to tell this to.

anyone who's like: ohh, is the internet a net positive thing for society and stuff? those are the old ppl who grew up with places to bike to, and aunts who taught them to play drums, and a grandpa who had a 3-yr supply of homemade canned sauerkraut. NO, the internet was not a net-positive, for YOU.

my Mom always only bought garlic in bulbs, those dry bulbs above the onions. I said, but look! Mom, you can buy it already chopped up (and held out a plastic or glass bottle to her in the grocery store). she used her hand to wave me off, this wasn't even worthy of a verbal reply. so flash...

Just in case you haven't met these lovely nerds: youtu.be/Qg-2A_VGJTE

yes I use ChatGPT to rephrase my work emails "in a warm professional tone please," and yes I use "please" when asking chatGPT to do something. I do read them again, remove any em-dashes, and add a typo so it's not so obvious. They sound much better than my originals. I'm not proud of this.

not allowed to talk about money. that's vulgar.

sorry, I'm just a person. I make mistakes. sometimes big mistakes. I'm just a person, I'm not a PR firm or a Focus group or a Congressional committee or a Bot farm. I'm just a person out here trying to communicate. I don't know why I type on here when I'm not at work. you tell me! 🧡

cashier: that'll be $18.97. I don't like turkey. me: thank you, does the card go in this way? (pause waiting for it to beep.) (awkward pause while it processes....) me: I don't like turkey either. [as I buy 5 frozen turkeys for less than $20, because they're on sale for 29-cents/lb.]

gotta love the brutally candid sibling who actually answer their phone. me: I think I come across weird. sister: well yeh, ya DO. me: how can I not come across weird? her: make some friends for christ's sake. me: ok. But how do I make friends? her: Stop being weird in a bad way.

I wonder how many people are gonna catastrophically fuck up thanksgiving by using chatgpt for their recipes

This month, federal troops were deployed to Democratic-led cities throughout North Carolina, even as a federal judge ruled the administration’s 30-day takeover of Washington, D.C., this summer was unlawful. https://capitalbnews.org/trump-national-guard-city-updates/

Please read this opening statement by Assata Shakur from her trial in New York in 1976. She wrote this almost 50 years ago, but it speaks so clearly to the current moment that it could have been written yesterday ia902804.us.archive.org/17/items/A.S...

ICE melts fast in the South because we bring the heat 🔥

Good morning and happy Monday to everyone. Imagine being 79 years old and thinking America needs fewer nurses.

Gosh. What a mystery. How did vaccines become politicized? What could the answer to that question possibly be?

"To be honest, I’m mainly just determined to stop apologizing when someone else steps on my foot. That happened for the last time this past weekend and is what really sparked this whole revolution in me."

the lack of manufacturing consent regarding Venezuela is crazy i don't think there's gonna be anything approaching a formal declaration, we're all just gonna wake up one morning to a Truth Social post that we started bombing them six hours ago

Can someone ask MAHA defense attorney Eric Widera what has been his favorite part of Bhattacharyas leadership thus far? It is the purges, censorship, or canceled clinical trials?

Gmail privacy has always been a misnomer. This is a crisis.

That time foxy came to me for help to get porcupine quills out of nose….

re: family holiday dinners, mole sauce I remember that time when I lived in the SW US, my friend invited me to her family christmas in Mexico City, hosted by her grandmother. I was like: ohhhh no, thank you, that sounds like too much, it's your family. And she was like: it's okay.

has anyone else internalized the "work clock" ethos so much, that you give yourself a mini-vacation on the weekend? Such as, you wake up on Sunday knowing your list of chores, but you tell yourself, I'm giving myself til 3 pm to loaf and then I'll put the petal to the metal. Is this an ADHD thing?

When Country Music is Coming out with these lyrics, Republicans better watch out.

Want to change the world? Change the way you shop—starting this weekend! From 11/28 to 12/2 we’re not shopping at Home Depot, Amazon, or Target bc they supportTrump & his policies. Instead, let’s shop at small businesses who need our support, enrich our lives and stand with our communities. 👏🏼👏🏼

those f*ing EMTs should ABSOLUTELY LOSE their certification or license and be banned from practicing in any healthcare-related field in any state, ever again. www.naemt.org/about-ems/co... How long til EMTs also start wearing balaklavas to hide their faces? 😖

The attack on women continues! This administration wants you at home, pregnant, broke and stupid. #Pinks

DOGE did not fail in any way to accomplish its goals. Its goals were never efficiency or saving money. Its goals were to destroy as much of government as possible forever, and to steal data for the Space Nazi. DOGE is fading away like bank robbery gangs fade away after the robberies are done.

No, DOGE did not *fail.*

What a beautifully written, comprehensive piece. bsky.app/profile/tani...

At least House Dems are working hard at *something*. like condemning socialism “in all its forms”??😖 This resolution is the most asinine thing ever. www.commondreams.org/news/democra... 86 Dems?? ridiculous. Below is roll call vote in a sort-able list: clerk.house.gov/Votes/202530...
