Just adding to the discourse that the camera adds 10 pounds! What we are seeing is actually “better” that what she looks like IRL.

tbc: Fauci was right to invoke the 5th Amendment — that hearing was a trap.

Some of you didn't grow up with parents with a rolodex of herbs and teas to cure you and who stored old antibiotics just in case and it shows.

Gonna be real on main for a second. I've never read the Odyssey. I'm probably not going to. So much of my education was centered on reading stuff by dead old white men I've chosen to center other perspectives as an Adult.

If you’re surprised Bernie is supporting misogyny you haven’t been listening to women for (checks watch) ten fucking years.

Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?

A reminder that running the dishwasher twice is actually still superior to handwashing.

I run the dishwasher all the time for basic not-living-in-squalor purposes and I will never feel bad about this

Genuinely fascinating paper that suggests that conservatism kills - it leads to worse health outcomes. People who become conservative later are generally sicker, and conservatives who become progressive find their health improves. (and because internet they're looking at specific health markers)

The political polarization of health outcomes in the USA - Nature Human Behaviour

Using individual-level medical data and death records, this study finds that conservatives in the USA experienced worse health and higher mortality than liberals during the 2010s. No significant gaps ...

I desperately want lasagna but it’s six am and there’s nowhere to get lasagna from. The world is a cruel and lonely place.

I just keep wanting to say "thank you everyone" every time I have to place an order for several hundred dollars worth of wound care supplies that aren't covered by insurance

this guy wants as many americans as possible to die of preventable diseases. he views that as preferable to vaccines or long term medication. makes us “stronger”

RFK Jr. asked the National Institute of Health to dedicate $5 billion (!) to finding a link between vaccines and autism. "That would have dedicated more than a tenth of the NIH’s annual budget to investigating a hypothesis already refuted by scientists worldwide."

This hands across the aisle shit needs to fucking die. You are reaching out to monsters and murderers. You need to be shitcanned. We are fighting for our lives and you’re calling it a fucking disagreement you absolute ghouls.

Primary every fucking Democrat who releases a statement that includes the phrase “while we disagreed on a lot of things…”

Hey @schiff.senate.gov - that’s you! I guess it wasn’t enough for you to vote for Rubio & Trump’s judicial nominees! 🙄

Primary every fucking Democrat who releases a statement that includes the phrase “while we disagreed on a lot of things…”

Primary every Democrat who releases a statement about how sad they are to lose their good buddy Lindsey fucking Graham

Man fuck Argentina smh

Rachel Bitcofer is an unrepentant Anti-Palestinian racist justifying genocide on Palestinians. Too many people on here follow her including a good handful of my mutuals. Unfollow and block her (@/rachelbitecofer.bsky.social).

I've been asked so: I would not vote for Nirav Shah. He was decidedly unhelpful as deputy CDC director. And, through incompetence and negligence, he is responsible for the deaths of disabled veterans at the Illinois Veterans' Home in Quincy, Illinois in 2015.

I just want you all to know that this is what your granny meant when she said a lie don't care who tell it. www.instagram.com/reels/DajPL7...

Must be fun to throw a party for people whose only personality characteristic is that they don’t follow orders

IDK there's something really funny about event planners not planning for forecasted weather that was reasonably accurate despite the fact that this government has gutted the National Weather Service in an attempt to privatize weather forecasting.

Just learned that diners were designed and named after the dining car on trains and this never occurred to me despite some of them literally being train cars and being named “this is a pretend train you are eating in”

Ha! Found the perfect solution for mom to get fiber in her and combat dehydration. I bought a watermelon at the store - there is very little mom will eat anymore and I took a chance. Cutting it down, I hear a tiny voice from the bedroom, "Is that the watermelon you're cutting?" Oh yeah!
