🇺🇸 Alysa Liu is the first U.S. woman to win #WorldFigure since Kimmie Meissner in 2006!

there's something freeing yet profoundly disheartening to know nobody ever looks twice at you. I am truly insignificant in every way.

according to my lab work, I eat a little TOO healthy. most people worry about lowering cholesterol - I gotta raise mine.

without any prompting, my loan servicer extended my recertification date by another year, which means I get another year of forbearance. a true weight off my shoulders while the dept of Ed and the courts do their thing. but also, I didn't get a letter about it. I just logged in and there it was

pastel daydreams ✨

I never stopped wearing a mask when I went to public places but now I'm even wearing a mask to check my mail. And I'm damn sure continuing to disinfect groceries and carrying hand sanitizer on me like whoa.

I bought a mini washer since my landlords have decided to install coin washer/dryers in the building. I can't avoid using the dryer, but I van budget that. The mini washer means teeny tiny loads and I'll probably end up using the coin washer for towels but...

I was thinking similarly. Every day, we're forced to live with a ridiculously high margin of "acceptable risk." Going out? Accept that you may be shot. Going to work/school? Accept you may get sick from others who won't vax. Buying groceries? Accept you may buy something contaminated. It's too much.

I’ve recently read that people would prefer to live in the Star Wars universe instead of the Star Trek universe and that just has me shaking my head. I’ll take life in the Federation any day over The Empire. Now excuse me while I fill my belly with this free replicated food that won’t run out soon.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social Dude, just do both. Run for Senate NOW to help us out, then run for President in 2028.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

@pattymurray.bsky.social Please put pressure on GOP colleagues to prevent cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. Without federal grants, people like my disabled mother will not have healthcare, critical medication, or essential long-term care services. ALTSA is vital.

....My throat hurts. Specifically, my right tonsil/inner ear hurts. I figure it's my annual "sinus congestion out to give me tonsillitis" thing, but I can't help but think about anything/anyone I might have come on contact with recently. I think I'm good? But I'm disinfecting the house again...

It's a small thing but today the washing machine in my building leaked motor oil all over a new white blanket, obviously ruining it. I tell my landlord and ask for compensation, only for her to tell me that the washing machine isn't intended for throw blankets and that I should go to a laundry mat.

someone PLEASE explain what "accidentally fired" means

bad news day everywhere I look so it's time for some lemon balm

if you're queer and married, now might be a good time to make sure you have medical power of attorney for your spouse and other essential documents lined up. actually, probably everyone should do this, married or not. name a bestie or your parents if you're single.

Seven years ago today was the worst day of my life. On that day, a 19-year-old who never should’ve had access to a gun in the first place entered my high school with an AR-15 and took the lives of 17 students and faculty members and injured 17 others.

The Constitution. The judicial branch. Separation of powers. Checks and balances. A nation of laws. The President of this country is not a king. Please repeat.

🚨 JD Vance is now laying the groundwork to undo the separation of powers. This is extremely dangerous.
