Sign this petition to require med schools to teach ME/CFS and POTS diagnostics and care. These are incredibly common conditions that somehow docs have never heard of, and sub-standard care makes people's quality of life go permanently down. That's what happened to me. c.org/pnyF4Grgxt

I was 15 when I developed ME, also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue syndrome. This was pre-COVID, and no one believed me. I…

Hot take (for some reason): If you refuse to be bound by even the lowest standard of the social contract, you shouldn't get to run anything.

the real answer to "how do you defeat the far right in an election" is "you say they can't run."

Sally Rooney is such a real one

Yesterday, Wizards informed us that it doesn’t intend to voluntarily recognize the D&D or Studio X units of our union ahead of a vote. We remain committed to creating a workplace focused on wellness, transparency, and collaboration by winning our coming election.

Just a reminder today for no reason whatsoever.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

there should be a name for that consultant stink that dems get about them, the miasma of bad of advice, ill-considered knee-jerk centrism in the face of actual fascism, the reek of cowardice that only comes from abysmal advice

1. Anti-trans Democrat Seth Moulton just lost his Senate primary in a LANDSLIDE to outspoken trans ally Ed Markey. To Moulton, trans kids were a liability the Democratic Party needed to abandon. But to Massachusetts voters, the only liabilities are Democrats like him.

a great place to start, if you own things that burn stuff, is making a list of all the things you own that burn stuff which one is gonna kick the bucket first? your car? your gas stove? your furnace? your dryer? you can make a plan to replace that thing with an electric thing when it dies

"We have been telling stories about the end since the beginning. And the story we like to tell is that it’s not, in fact, the end." Author @jrdawson.bsky.social draws from speculative stories such as Hadestown, Legendborn, and The Good Place to measure how we face the ultimate unknown:
