In ancient Egypt, people drank low alcohol beer and wine to avoid the parasites in "raw water." The old graves, which I excavate, are full of children who died from diseases we now can vaccinate against. You are ghouls for promoting this garbage.

One thing that kinda got glossed over with Vivek spewing nonsense is that the Saturday morning cartoon block doesn’t even exist anymore for kids. And like the decline of mainstream educational programs on public television, that’s been a bad thing for a lot of kids.

It is NOT selfish to protect your baseline. People can’t comprehend what it’s like to exist in a severely chronically ill body. They can’t understand that what minimal function we have left is EVERYTHING to us. Someone who loves you shouldn’t push you to take unnecessary risks.

Me too my partner: FYI the fridge might be rigged because I just stuffed everything in there. My partner upon opening the fridge: OH MY GOD [in the most shocked voice] Me, cackling: I warned you so you wouldn't react like that 😂 My partner: 😂 you may have smoked too much

Your fave white or light skin cosplayers or creators focusing on "accuracy" which often involves skin accuracy. Is why black cosplayers and creators get harassed SO MUCH. They are benefiting from a system that rewards them off the harm to black people.

Border blunder: French pupils denied entry to the UK by British officials due to a trivial post-Brexit form error. 500-mile trip wasted, tourism lost, and goodwill gone. Sad for those kids and so frustrating. Is this really what the UK voted for?

Nicholas can eat my entire ass with that shitty take. 🙄 I say this as someone with family that's suffered from health insurance denials and as someone who worked in health insurance for 6 years. I'm still waiting for the next episode of 'Death to Oligarchs' 🤷

Seeing your smile does NOT help COVID informed / immunocompromised people’s mental health The fact that you “need” to see our smiles says a lot about YOUR mental health You’ve chosen denial & willful ignorance to deal with an ongoing pandemic 🧵 1/2

Why does my disability need to be a superpower? Can't it just be a thing that sucks and needs accommodating? I can't stand the superpower narrative. It's not special or magic to be autistic or have a disability. It's human, and boring and needs understanding not weird fetishization.
