mokie in a few other other places - any pronouns, it's fine If you're here because I saved your post: intent's not to be creepy, I just want to read/reply when my brain's cooperating. I, too, wish saves were private.

Love is patient Love is kind It does not envy It does not boast It is not proud It cannot be bargained with It can't be reasoned with It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead

Twice in two days now, I've seen Bluesky posts where someone's being weird about Twitter checkmarks in 2026. Weird in a way that feels inauthentic, but I can't see what the angle would be, because dude, it's 2026 - if it still bothers you, just...don't go there? I dunno. WEIRD, man.

That thing where you casually talk about something in your apartment and then get an email from the property manager that references that thing and then start thinking about checking the smoke detectors and how that would be an actual mental illness, right?

Extend this to just everything in general, I feel like it’s time I start seeking a spot that’s kinder and healthier. I have been allowing a lot of harm to come my way in exchange for running my own bar program but I feel like it’s about to kill me. So. If you’re in Chicago and you work in a bar…

If you are a bar person in any American city with an airport, I am open for guest shifts for the first week in September. I specialize in savory-fruity drinks and hypergarnishes.

One question I never see being asked is why do street cops seem to have such casual access to this stuff at all? Being able to access it in the course of a legitimate investigation should require a judge to sign off, just like a search warrant, at minimum

Body camera footage shows police surveillance abuse is common: "We’ve told them over and over again: 'You see a hot chick, you don’t look them up in a database.'"

We all have to be one of two people now: The person who rips these fucking things off the face of anyone doing this, OR, the bystanders who 100% have the back of the person who rips the fucking things off the face. The aggressives and the passives must unite to make it unsafe to wear these.

NEW: Teen boys are using smart glasses — mainly Meta's AI Glasses — to film themselves harassing classmates at school, following girls around and "rizzing" them or "ragebaiting" them w/ insults. In several videos we reviewed, girls plead w/ the poster to stop filming. futurism.com/artificial-i...

BREAKING: A DC judge has blocked the Trump administration from implementing its proposed changes to the Teen Pregnancy Prevention grants program, but hasn't yet ordered the grants that were cancelled be reinstated. My story about the cancelled grants and the new proposed program from last month:

Feds have a new teen pregnancy prevention plan: Fertility and ‘reproductive goals’ • Stateline

The Trump administration has a new plan for teenagers learning about pregnancy: Beginning this summer, it will steer millions of dollars toward organizations that focus on anatomy, fertility tracking,...

every time I think about the fact that I was 45 fucking years old before I managed to get stimulant medication explicitly because of this bullshit, I want to FUCKING SCREAM. 45 years of every fucking aspect of life being impossibly more hard than it had to be, because of moralizing little shitheads

I'm 42 years old and have been fighting the "ADHD is overdiagnosed and meds are overprescribed" contingent for access to my meds since like 1996

Cat enjoys having something to listen to when she's putting me to bed. A quiet podcast, EU radio, etc.. I put it on a timer, because once I'm clearly dozing, she leaves. Except I started Kim Stanley Robinson's The Years of Rice & Salt, narrated by Bronson Pinchot, and she is INVESTED. And HEAVY.

I don't think people understand the extent to which this has been a decade plus long billionaire funded campaign (obviously Thiel is involved). We've tried to ring the alarm about these eugenicists but it is too easy for them to get parroted by the mainstream media. bylinetimes.com/2026/08/18/t...

The media's coverage of the academic's life was fuelled by the campaign of an established far-right network
