The food science behind MSG is not debatable. There have been numerous wide and repeated studies. MSG is a naturally occurring compound, which we have tastebuds specifically to sense. If you can eat aged cheese, tomatoes, or bacon (among many other foods), you can eat MSG (some do have reactions).

A side effect of mom recovering. I have the kitchen to myself and can keep things where I want them. It's a little messier but clean. I'm enjoying cooking again. I can do things my way.

National Guard is paid by the federal government but controlled by the Governor so if they do show up then we know Newsom allowed it.

Lmao Dr Drew is in the game speculating Musk is bipolar. Anyone remember his prude, anti-kink bullshit?

The Quakers are probably the only US religious group shooting over 90% from the field on being on the right side of history.

Oh wow, heya Portland still Coviding

Holy shit this thread

The capitalists are fighting with Luigi stans on FB in comments. Sipping coffee and good chaos.

Besides at news people, politicians, and official orgs, I'll be more careful. I do ask artists infrequently "can you" because I can't do art and I want to share it. *There is ignorance or even miseducation, so I do have a 101 guide post to reduce friction & make it easier to do if abled.

I have hated on learn to code for so long.

This is a difficult post to make, but I am behind on bills. I do need help. Friends are right. So is my math. So. I need to raise $1,000 by the end of June for bills I am absolutely behind on, some interest-bearing. If you can help:

Ah so relieved. I got all of mom's medical records downloaded. This is in case my brothers try to claim she is incapable of making decisions or is being controlled.

I have to pick up HRT next week. My new PCP changed my dose & pharmacy says it will be $228. It's PRIDE! I am disabled & nonbinary in a state w/NO civil rights anymore. PLS HELP! helphopelive.org/campaign/159... venmo: KARRIE-HIGGINS-2 www.paypal.com/paypalme/kar...

White flight ☠️😂

Had a hilarious chat with a friend about her parents moving to about Sun City retirement communities. The kink scene is well known with colored handkerchiefs worn to signal your tastes. They also use colored loofahs on their cars and golf carts. STD rates so high.

Over time, I modified my approach to asking for alt text. I think I came on too strong sometimes, so I try for a good faith education is useful. I add qualifiers it is for non-disabled who can do alt text. Disabled, chronicly ill, etc. are not the same bucket because of conflicting ability.

Happy Caturday

I'm being told I need a hip replacement, and also the Spinal Cord Stimulator I was banking on is possibly being nixed by insurance. My landlord has given me a reprieve due to my medical problems but I just don't know when there's going to be a light in this tunnel. vccprints.myshopify.com #mutualaid

“These aren’t criminals,” said Michael Sharma-Crawford, a local immigration attorney and chair of the Kansas and Missouri chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. “In theory, none of these people deserves to be in jail.”

I still don't get what cooking means for home care. Do they actually have cooking skills? Do they know how to use knives correctly? Or prep ingredients? I don't expect a personal chef skills. Home Care said they do meal planning too, though I'm doubtful they will find things for mom. Maybe?

Fuck yeah. 2nd time mom used the alert button to call me.

Would love to celebrate Pride this year and not be struggling so much especially in a state where my civil rights were revoked ... please keep sharing!

Need help y'all, I live in transitional housing and my electric being shut off puts me in jeopardy for eviction and losing my voucher. #mutualaid #mutualaidboost 💕💸 @jerry.resplendent.hair @smenor.com @elendraug.bsky.social @amazonpissjugs.bsky.social @fairshare.help @sealab2021.org

For the trans woman attacked with acid.

Jesus fucking Christ a bunch of *children* committed an acid attack against a trans woman in Philly. this is what this fucking ever-escalating rhetoric gets us; children are radicalized before they can even conceptualize of the weight of their actions www.inquirer.com/crime/acid-a...

I'm fucking furious. Bluesky just removed two more of my lists, one for ableism and another for people who shit on mutual aid. My ableism list isn't even made private, its just completely gone! My disabled ass is now extremely vulnerable to ableist attacks thanks to @safety.bsky.app.
