I want to see all of y’all “I cant wait for summer” folks outside! Work outside. Eat outside. Take that run. Hang out outside for no particular reason other than to enjoy your favorite season. Enjoy that heat index. I want pics and updates.

Aye, If you are taking any SSRIs: Fluoxetine (Prozac), Sertraline (Zoloft), Paroxetine (Paxil), Citalopram (Celexa), & Escitalopram (Lexapro)… You have an increased risk of heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. Especially if you are neurodivergent & struggle with Interoception.

No idea who was the first person to combine potatoes, cheese, and bacon, but I hope she became a beautiful constellation

I need crisp air, cider, and donuts. Not bugs, sweat, and blackouts.

Lmao, no, nuh-uh. It's just quid pro quo amongst the elites, that's it, that's ALL. If a newbie wins office, who will grease THEIR palms???? Who will lob contracts to THEIR friends and families?! Will no one think of the corrupt politicians??!?!

The liberatory power of mass literacy has been established across half a millennia. When you begin with this fact, everything from Silicon Valley fantasies of post-literacy to MAGA book bans fall neatly in line. Literacy is the foundation of democratic society. It must be enclosed & economized.

My advice for the heatwave: Normalize using umbrellas for sun.

After 104 days of being unjustly detained for his advocacy for Palestinian rights, Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his wife and newborn son.

"i asked chatgpt" yeah well i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains, i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains there's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line and the less I seek my source for some definitive closer I am to fine

We’re wasting the remaining carbon budget on war and AI.

Happy Juneteenth to my Black friends and happy "be quiet and reflect on how and what we can do better in the fight against white supremacy/racism" day to my white friends.

I been said that actuaries tell us the truth. Oh COVID is mild? What do life insurance companies say about that? Climate change is not real? Then why are insurance companies planning to refuse coverage to certain places?

Happy Juneteenth, Black people! Happy Thursday to the rest of y'all! And happy "It finally feels like summer!," NYC!! Currently at: $401/$600 💕💸 Appreciate you all so much. Find some joy today, no matter what. 💫✌🏾 #disabled ##mutualaid #crowdfund #disability

Bad Bunny documented an ICE arrest in Puerto Rico, sharing footage of what appears to be agents detaining people in the street: “Look, those motherfuckers are in these cars, RAV-4s. They’re here in Pontezuela. Sons of b--s, instead of leaving the people alone.”

the presidents of the united states really instilled unrealistic expectations on how easy it would be to move to the country and eat a lotta peaches

FDA approves powerful HIV drug that nearly eliminated spread in clinical trials

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second: one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

i always forget my so-called life had only one season. felt like an eternity in my youth

No sources, no links, just vibes. This is a retail trading account, not a news outlet or journalist yet all their posts are “BREAKING”…. You don’t find that suspicious?

my friend made me an out of this world potato leek soup when i had my wisdom teeth removed but we can't find the recipe 😩

‘Seized’ is also more accurate than detained. Words matter. 👇🏼

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.” /1

In her new book “Bad Company,” journalist Megan Greenwell chronicles how private equity upended industries from health care to local news—and the ways workers are fighting back. www.wired.com/story/megan-...

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

it's not orwellian. it's american.

And the person who turned up to support him with no notice is the Muslim dude who have cross endorsed each other and who the msm has been going into overtime to cast him as antisemitic

This seems to be a very effective nonviolent delay tactic for ICE raids. Any time you can identify a bottleneck in their process — where they have to be in the same place at a consistent time of day — you can interdict their route

Astaghfirullah this is one horrific atrocity. And the right will tout this as a victory and it will be normalized, while disproportionately impacting Black and brown women.

Israel bombs Isfahan, Iran's largest Jewish community. Is this still to keep Jews safe?

First of all, if our entire society wasn't run by penises, this would be an obvious truth. We make better managers, proven. We're better communicators, proven. Better multitaskers, better at delegating, better at teamwork, better at putting ego aside, all-around better LEADERS.

reduce reuse recycle, people!

never ever forgetting
