Childless cat lady. Will bite. It's all there in the name. Also a leftist but the biting thing seemed more important to emphasize.

Masks and handwashing work very well against the current form of flu, in the first year of Covid, when more people were masking, we knocked out an entire strain of flu. So there’s yet another reason to start wearing them.

I lived through the AIDS crisis of the late 80s and through the 90s when treatment became available. So I don't wish HIV on anyone. But I'd certainly enjoy someone pranking these ghouls and telling them they've been exposed and letting them sweat about it for months and years. I'm not above that.

No notes

New — HHS just got another email with guidance stating that they aren’t required to respond to the 5 bullets email, but if they do they should follow specific guidelines including: “Assume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors and tailor your response accordingly.”

If at first you don't succeed, and have multiple government agency heads saying they won't comply and are undertaking an illegal action against labor that will definitely not hold up in court....try try again to prove you were doing so with malice, I guess.

Never taken a bad picture in his life I’m crying 😂

I absolutely blurted put that the pope was dead to my family when I saw the original headline.

Why do they need to fight dementia? They've elected two presidents with it to rule over half my fucking life time so far and they seem to be winning. Meanwhile, their political opponents named a non-septugenarian house leader who is somehow worse at messaging than the geriatrics we had before.

It's like the W Bush tax cuts all over again. A one-time lump sum that's less than 2 Mos rent? Oh that's better than Social Security/Medicare/the FAA et al. He's gonna bribe people with $5k that has NOT been recouped at all by "DOGE" while making billions destroying the piggy bank he's raiding.

I don't get personal on main very often, but I spent a few hours writing this, and I want you to read it. It's about my dad and my stepmom, and me, and Stranger Things, and what's happening to the VA right now. www.cheriepriest.com/blog/the-dep...

GOV. HOCHUL: “.. the alleged conduct at City Hall that has been reported over the past two weeks .. cannot be ignored. Tomorrow, I have asked key leaders to meet me at my Manhattan office for a conversation about the path forward, with the goal of ensuring stability for the City of New York.”

trump: we are going to conquer canada and make it a state canadian hockey fans: fine, we will boo your anthem at games media: these two actions are exactly the same level of bad

They're still making an effort to use bad photos of him as if we don't know he's handsome. He still looks good and I bet he gets marriage offers on the daily in those letters (and, hopefully, nudes)

Trying to find joy where I can: whenever I even think about it, I must watch all 13 minutes of Kendrick's halftime show. I've watched it at least twice a day since the game (which I watched none of lol).

Like many born into slavery, abolitionist Frederick Douglass never knew his birthday. His mother called him “little valentine” and so he chose to celebrate on Valentine’s Day. Happy birthday, Frederick Douglass 💜

Stringer Bell would have more ethics than this guy, but the quote applies

The thing that burns my ovaries, besides the unconscionable assault on trans people, is that with Trump/Musk openly defying court orders to stop what they're doing, I can't fully celebrate victories like this. I hope doctors find their guts to continue therapy knowing they're legally covered.

Speed! My first crush was on Jack Traven <3

A black guy used his power to try to improve healthcare access for people and one major political party lost their shit forever.

Now let us see if he can enforce it. Or else we compund the constitutional crisis. (My hopes are not high. Not with GOP-captured Congress happy to cede its powers to the oligarch.)

PROTESTING THREAD. I cut my teeth protesting vs. Jean Marie Le Pen in France. The French are *master* protesters. We can learn a lot from them. 1st thing to know: there is no such thing as "too late." We can protest before, during, and *after* a coup. Eastern Europe did it under tyranny. So can we.

I thought Angela Bassett was the most ethereal being in Waiting to Exhale, but her makeup and fits in How Stella Got Her Groove Back speak for themselves.

For BHM, I'm working on my back catalogue of movies. I finally watched Waiting to Exhale. All of those ladies are too beautiful for any of those men. And the men are often very fine indeed, but they're not Angela Bassett in the 1990s fine. They're not Angela Bassett NOW fine. Good lord.
