Apparently, I have to start packing a "just in case" outfit for funerals for any travel lasting more than 2 weeks. Sadly, this is not the first time I've had to change plans mid trip to attend one, and while I have lots of black clothing, I don't have appropriate attire for this.
Recently, a woman guilted myself and another passenger to sit in the same row with her children (ages 5 and 10, approx), instead of across the aisle from them. I was able to get another window seat in a different row, and made multiple comments about having paid for assigned seats. She got the hint.
✨Flight of Tendon✨@ilyvonn1.blacksky.app · 4d agoI don’t see the problem. As a FA… Book the seats together if you need to sit together that bad lol. People book their seats for specific reasons and if you don’t choose yours don’t feel entitled to theirs 🤷🏽♀️ I say no to switching when I’m not working all the time lol

“Again, the foundational view here is that Western men, white men, make history—they create, explore, build, invent. Non-whites are destructive and uncultured, lucky to receive Western colonization, and too dangerous to be allowed to immigrate into the countries that once dominated them.”

There is no "said and done" when it comes to fascism, just variants. We let police get away with brutality and extrajudicial killings, so ICE's violence was a natural next step with a corrupt Supreme Court and useless governance. Robot dogs and body-armored brown shirts are here now, and next up.

I'm having a great time in Aix, completely disassociating from the fact that I lost a loved one the day before I left. I am really not ready for the grief bomb that is going to hit me when I get back home and can process.
Scientists painted black cows with white stripes to test whether zebra markings deter biting flies — and the painted cows drew 50 per cent fewer flies, adding weight to the theory that zebras evolved their colouring not for camouflage or heat, but as a living insect repellent

You don't have to answer the door for the Feds. Do not voluntarily talk to the Feds. If they have a warrant signed by an actual judge, then they can do precisely what the warrant says. But DO NOT TALK TO THE FEDS. Do not answer the door. If you're arrested, your only words are "I want a lawyer."

A close friend-combat vet, mother, no criminal record-who was a volunteer observer during the ICE crisis, had a visit and was threatened for taking photos and videoed, claiming that filming was illegal.

A friend is in their second round of rehab for this, the medical detox alone took 3 weeks. The marketing and accessibility of this shit is so fucking predatory.

I'm not a pro-ban person when it comes to substances but it remains beyond insane that 7-OH is being marketed and sold like it's 5 Hour Energy. This shit is not normal "kratom" and it's not an energy supplement. It's fucking Oxy and if you get addicted to it you will get dopesick.
One of my pet peeves is seeing incredibly potent narcotics sold and marketed like fucking Red Bull. People don't know what they're getting into and that is super dangerous. Don't play around with this shit.
There is a pharmacist on youtube that has gas station pills tested in a mass spectrometer. Every single one of them is some controlled drug combo, it's insane.
Tobacco companies spent decades honing marketing strategies, flavor engineering, and processing tech that addicted consumers to cigarettes. In the 1980s, they bought large food firms and deployed these same strategies to sell more ultra-processed foods. www.npr.org/2026/06/09/n...
