The death toll will not just be us.

Exactly.
It's not as if any of Trump's EOs on the first day were unexpected.
If you voted for Trump, you voted to endorse the Jan 6 participants, you voted to remove the 14th, you voted for increased cost of medication and you voted for for accelerating climate change.
None of this is a surprise.

Good luck affording a PAPR. From experience it’s safer to never ask for one either.

I’ve said a few times, I already figure I’m dead sooner than most. My only hope at this point is that it’s a humane execution and not horrific “life,” as a lab specimen. Most people (especially if they aren’t marginalized themselves) insist I am being dramatic.
It’s really hard to hope right now.

The extremists asking the Court to block PrEP access argue that requiring employers to cover PrEP “violates their religious beliefs by making them complicit in facilitating homosexual behavior, drug use & sexual activity outside of marriage between one man & one woman.”
Their bigotry is explicit.

Depends on how much they were paid and/or how much they stand to make on whatever stocks they hold. Nothing about the nominee’s credentials matters as much as what they stand to gain (or keep secret if their motivation isn’t money).

Rep AOC: "republicans, who have voted consistently against the violence against women's act, who have taken the rights of all women to have control over their own body, who as women are bleeding out in parking lots, now want to pretend today that they care about women."

You’ll know he liked it if you find him there again. Any funny faces at that point would be relative to you catching his indulgence.

I would never show up. I can’t afford my ER copay at 125/visit (up from 90 that I couldn’t afford either). I’m in the same boat for mental health & other issues w/@anthembcbs.bsky.social
My $55 healthy food disallows delivery unless their exploitative vendor delivers. Think $3 for off brand corn.

You most likely have access to Hoopla and/or Kanopy through your library, there are several queer titles in their catalogs. I don’t have a list of titles but it’s at least a resource without ads.

Hehe, I do but they’re not persistent enough or I’ve already trained myself they are background noise. I have legitimately tried that. I’ll try again.

You could also crash a plane and never learn how to fly one because “suffering.”

“… a lot of the way,” is not the same as “master it through a book.” Conflating a technical endeavor to an emotional one doesn’t seem fair on top of the conflation.

I was actually SWATTED by a bill collector working for Toyota when I couldn’t pay my car payment. She called the police and told them I was threatening suicide by cop after she told me that she used to work in mental health and that she had friends who were disabled who worked.

I often hear “this med/that doctor worked for my friend! Just try that and you will be all better!”
My conditions have no cure. Your “friend” isn’t the same as me. Stop trying to force “all better” on people with lifelong disabilities.
We see what you’re doing - and it cuts deep.

Elmo has demonstrated that lies pay really, really well so I can see the motivation for engaging in this behavior. I still think it’s plausible they’re really trying to do this. I mean, alchemy is still being pursued by people (the whole transmutation of “lead to gold” thing).
