I do have a little bit of a problem with Andor this season where I keep sort of wanting the plot to step out of frame for a second so I can see the production design better (not a criticism of the show)

Oh to be a frog buying your first pond home for $600

The doctor yesterday asked me what I do in medicine because I do my best trying to understand a little about a lot of things. But ultimately, I fact-check comedy games, please. None of us can DIY every conceivable need. There is no Wikihow to replace civilization

please we are so tired we cannot do all the things ourselves I want really important stuff that might kill me to be in the hands of people who studied that shit their whole life so that mastering the complexities of every aspect of human existence at once is not suddenly all on me, a theatre major

I’ve heard a few electeds talk about which groups to sacrifice to delay the inevitable brunt of violence under fascism (in more polite terms) and I can’t emphasize enough how we cannot leave anyone behind. The only way out is through. Together. Arm in arm. That’s not sentimental, it’s strategic.

Not many people know that AA Milne had a much smaller brother called AAA Milne

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

1. This isn't true at all. 2. IQ numbers are BS. The test depends on who's administering it, and even if it WAS a reliable indicator of "intelligence," that means nothing about a person's value. 3. You know what's in water that DOES hurt development? Lead. They're not interested in that.

i'm mostly not out here just to repost memes, but this is in fact a photograph of me soooo

I was going to post this article this weekend but Duolingo's recent doubling down on replacing humans with generative AI pushed me to get it out sooner. Here's a list of amazing apps for learning Japanese that DON'T use generative AI! #cancelDuolingo jtalkonline.com/japanese-stu...

I got this as the sole top banner when I went to watch Andor on Disney+.

So I guess the state passed banning fluoride in water, and I just would like to not be here for that OR what's next, honestly

Did a u-turn in town cause I saw an animal on the side of the road, sitting but it could've been a stray and/or injured. I THINK it was a black cat. It went into the bushes (away from the street, towards houses), so I guess it's fine?

I don't know if there's a "people in Jacksonville drive like they're in Fast & Furious" stereotype but based on two near accidents and the three people going 90mph on Yamahas who came within a few feet, I'm starting one

On my way to Jacksonville for a second surgical opinion (or whatever, considering the first person canceled), well over a month after being told it should be done in 1-2 weeks. How will this go? Who knows!

Some have responded w/ a version of "why are you elevating this story when non-citizens have it much worse?" This story shows, in a concrete & visceral way, that citizenship is not a shield from state lawlessness in a mass deportation regime. That realization can turn ppl against such policies.

i want to still believe, really have to believe, that the great majority of people simply do not want to live like this

Somewhat jealous of folks who say iron infusions made them feel better, because they make me feel very unwell

It's hard not to think we're rapidly running out of time to stop the man who would be king (and his minions), not in a doompost-y "we failed, it's inevitable" way, in a "we have to" way

Real woman have curves. They turn and twist. They are spirals. They fold in upon themselves. They are a black hole that bends space and time. They are a star child. All these worlds are yours except Europa, attempt no landing there.

It's not much use, but I am thinking of you all today, hoping you saw the US take entirely the wrong off-ramp and won't follow us this way

The instinctual "that should have been me" reaction when someone makes the same joke as you but theirs gets traction, vs. the educated knowledge that you don't really want a hit post

Apparently Monday morning at the infusion center is hopping, so it wound up taking 2.5 hrs. At least this nurse did it correctly, last week they dumped a fair amount of the iron on the table, and I think accidentally doubled the premeds dose. 🫠

I've encountered a few people arguing that tariffs are good, actually, because they will force us to consume less and while I think our consumer culture is problematic in many ways, I don't think things such as 'food' and 'medical supplies' fall under the category of unnecessary purchases.
