Just got my MMR booster because Gen X is in a bit of wilderness with immunity on this one. If you were born between 1960 and 1989, you may have only gotten one dose. You can check your titer or just book it. (Because I didn’t get a titer or get the vaccine at the dr’s office, I paid CVS $120.)

Everyone knows what happened here. Trump can only exist around people he can causally humiliate. Guys lie JD and Rubio. He wanted to do a ritual humiliation of Zelensky and Ukraine but Zelensky wouldn’t accept that and so Trump reacted like a stung bitch.

As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President. I have a theme, a thesis, a throughline, a leitmotif, which is SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH. /1

Andrew Tate being allowed to come to the U.S. and avoid facing trial for sex trafficking in Romania is beyond stomach-churning. This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he won’t face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

One of my biggest peeves is complaints that “nobody’s doing X.” First, you’re probably wrong. Lots of people are doing whatever X is—getting out on the streets, protesting, boycotting, changing consumer habits. Second, if you were right, you could literally do it. Be the first. Be a catalyst.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but acts of resistance shouldn’t be deliberately made public. Resistance isn’t performed for the public but is supposed to be quiet and subversive. Especially in a fascist regime. Secrecy is what protects you and those around you who are vulnerable

This is one of the big things I am thinking about at this moment: how the place where we were is because when it came to equality, white America always went just far enough to feel good about themselves, but never far enough to feel good about other people.

All of this. We begged and screamed that this is what they wanted and yet a majority still voted for this.

So, when it comes to tax deductions, I would be better off owning a private plane than a home. Sounds Republican.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

If you have a child with a 504 plan or IEP please watch. If you don’t…watch anyway because if you’re reading this, you know someone who does. Please call your representatives and tell them to stop this nonsense! Children need advocates to protect them. Please be one. Part 1

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

Hubby uses AI for work and is mostly all in with it. We’ve discussed and argued about it quite a bit. The other day he asked me why I wasn’t using it to help me rewrite a truly horrendously written crochet pattern. (I only do this for my personal use)

Nah this just shows you’re older and have been writing longer than the majority of AI users.

With the Eagles obliterating the Chiefs, now is a good time to remind everyone that the last time the Eagles won the Super Bowl they refused to go to the White House because of Donald.

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

I understand why most folks are against the Chiefs, but I loathe the Eagles too much to root for them. 🤷‍♀️
