Get your titers done or get boosted, part 9629586

A popular myth is disability benefits are easy and quick to get. Fact is in most cases it takes years for a decision due to SSA backlog. Then a majority of cases are initially rejected because the application process is complex adding more time needed to submit an appeal & waiting for a decision

🏳️‍⚧️ The State of WA v Donald Trump 🏳️‍⚧️ Yesterday, CDC and other federal staff were notified of a temp restraining order that blocks the EO to freeze fed funds to institutions in WA, OR and MN providing gender affirming care.

all disability advice is like •become a detective, your disease is a puzzle •every doctor lies. multiclass Cleric 3 for Zone of Truth. they still lie but now you know •blackmail your insurance •systematically destabilize every part of your life for at least a year •with luck you can now digest food

I'm fine with it. Can we have the laser loon flag to go with it? (all jokes aside, go Canada, pls continue to kick our asses)

In Ojibwe, my name means ‘speaks in a loud and clear voice woman.’ Today, I’m officially launching my campaign for the U.S. Senate to go to D.C. and speak in a loud and clear voice for ALL of Minnesota.

In a small act of defiance, this old sign has been hung up again in the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota. (h/t @lunargiraffe.bsky.social)

The Playwrights’ Center in Minneapolis’ has doubled down on its DEI initiatives after it recently received orders from the National Endowment for the Arts to stop promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion or be denied federal funding. bringmethenews.com/minnesota-li...

With our first-in-the-nation Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Office, we’re working to address the root causes of violence against Indigenous people. We won’t stop until all our relatives are protected in Minnesota.

I successfully nerd-sniped @niq.aeli.net into researching the cooking times to inactivate H5N1 (tl;dr: cooking to 160 F kills it immediately, for lower temps like sous vide the FDA standard 6-log reduction temperature/duration tables are going to be fine)

thank fuck

I need my fellow frustrated and scared Americans to quit insinuating that Canada should come to our rescue. This is our mess to clean up. While I love to daydream & joke about MN being annexed into Manitoba or something, realistically, I know that's not happening. Nobody can fix this but us.

the alt text, I'm dying 😭

hey, quick question.. what the fuck

i was really hoping this was a joke (I mean they still can't just land grab like that but it's ridiculous this was even a bill that was introduced) www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

This thread is hilarious but also infuriating because it proves that actually, police do know how to treat a crowd without blinding and beating people

This is zero shade to Philly fans - you go have fun. But it's always interesting how news outlets portray social disruption in the aftermath of sporting events vs social disruption in the form of political protest. just food for thought.

least shocking county to do this surprised they aren't having a parade about it

we are reaching levels of national security threats I did not even realize were possible this is the kind of thing you put in a terrible b-movie where some nefarious cybercriminal has hacked The Entire Treasury and everyone rolls their eyes at the implausibility except somehow it's actually real

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

Me: "My brain like almost can't compute the amount of bad news at like every single part of government systems." @mmasnick.bsky.social: "It's a distributed denial of service attack on people who believe in reality."

AUTHORITARIAN KRYPTONITE IS NONCOMPLIANCE the only thing they have is people choosing to go along with the ruse. The minute alllllll the people busy propping up the evil say: Nah, not today, they are out of business. Decide how you’re gonna help gum up the works of harm.

He also very directly and specifically blamed disabled people. And I am absolutely begging y’all to call it out and not leave us out of your activism. He literally named us. Why aren’t we on your list of at-risk groups?

This. Letting our government rebrand freakin’ SARS into “Covid” was absolutely one of the recent death knells of public health. We can’t make that mistake again. Words matter.

The placement of that flag in front of his face is apt

Big boat unstuck!!

re: last repost - i, too, have a destination of "exasperated sigh" most days lmao

The captain of this ship seems like he has a great sense of humour. He's over on tiktok and youtube providing updates www.youtube.com/shorts/zB_pM...
