I had my quarterly alcohol indulgence last night with two bottles of Yeungling at a comedy show. Today I am profoundly hungover and my liver physically hurts (not hyperbole). Luv 2 be chronically ill.

Zero new NSF grants in sociology, anthropology, political science and economics. The agenda of this US govt is to stop documenting the society in which we live while they are destroying it. We will find other ways to track and explain our times and fight to restore our research funding.
Finally, this has gone a bit under the radar, so I want to highlight it: The social, behavioral and economic sciences directorate (SBE) has simply ceased to deliver grants to many of its subareas. Any topic not specifically OK'd by the Trump administration is receiving zero new awards.
I smushed the mosquito in my apartment that’s been biting me for four days on the first try. I caught no sight of it til tonight.
I hope Jason Voorhees finds the rest of his goalie gear
I have idiopathic hypersomnia. I don’t think I ever haven’t been really tired.
have you ever been really tired? like REALLY tired?
I will repost this every time it shows up on my feed.
Good morning
this entire issue is downstream of the fact that kids are trapped in car-dependent suburbs, unable to develop any sense of autonomy until age 16, when they're suddenly allowed to drive a 4,000 lb vehicle
The moral panic about e-bikes... "In New Jersey, the state legislature passed a law requiring registration, a license and, in some cases, insurance for anyone to ride an ebike...In this regulatory wild west, legal ebikes are caught in the crossfire." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
super happy for you about your loud muffler sorry your parents didn’t love you tho
I've learned the hard way that if a supposed "community" does not include children and elders, it's not a real community. It's just a friend group of colonized people cosplaying as a community.
Every single Republican and gender critical person, including JK Rowling, supports this happening to you. They brag about building a future in which this type of humilating incident is common.
Minnesota teen says server forced her to prove her gender in restaurant bathroom The 18-year-old high school student alleged the server would not let her exit the Buffalo Wild Wings restroom until she unzipped her hoodie and showed she had breasts. For @nbcnews.com: www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-...
We have higher rates of kidney and bladder problems compared to the general population, and historically rather than address this, medicine has chosen to either ignore it or blame our healthcare. Nope, turns out marginalization just destroys bodies. Quelle surprise.

Don't quote me on this in like 10 years but I think one of the defining issues of the 2020s is "a better world is actually very easy to achieve, the powers that be are just not interested in achieving it."
The DSA in Wilmingotn, N.C. has created a "crisis" by putting benches at city bus stops, after literal decades of the city promising and failing to do so.
today is we the unhoused’s last episode at iheart, but the show’s vital work is moving to patreon and could really use your support— here’s theo’s statement ❤️
Not to get political but life should be easy and free
It remains baffling to me that when my insurance and doctors can't communicate it becomes my responsibility to untangle, under threat of being billed for five grand I definitely don't owe!
FedEx just updated the estimated delivery window for a package that I need to sign for to 11-4. When on gods earth will I siesta? I just ate lunch and I’m so eepy!
Philly, and anywhere affected by wildfire smoke, you should be busting out those n95 masks every time you go outside until the air quality alert returns to normal. Please don’t exercise or take your dog for long walks outside.
I cannot recommend n95 and kn95 masks enough. I've covered enormous wildfires multiple times throughout my career (southern california reporter) and they have saved my ass time and again. Remember, burning houses also means burning household chemicals
As the nation is engulfed by wildfire smoke, you should all know that there's a clear statistical link between exposure to drifting wildfire smoke and chronic respiratory, cardiovascular, and oncological (cancer) health problems. 🧵
got the cyclospora variant that gives you explosive turds. beefy, dense logs that launch with the violence of a potato cannon
Joke’s on you, all my most embarrassing moments are things I’ve said that were poorly received, and the Benny Hill soundtrack would drown them out.
what if when you die, they make you watch a highlight reel of all your biggest mistakes with the Benny Hill theme as a soundtrack
A reminder that as you see photos of those Patriot Front douchebags today, they are marching on a holiday because none of them have anywhere else to be. None of them have friends or family who want them around on a holiday. No one is missing them today. They're already with their only friends.
