The German word for horse is pferd, and whenever I have to go outside the city for a doctor's appointment in a cab with my assistant, I make sure to yell "Pferd on my side!" on sighting a horse. My assistant is German/British and despite my best efforts cannot seem to get into this amazing game.

In 1986, contracting HIV meant you were going to die, usually slowly, painfully, and alone. Now it's a chronic illness like hypertension. In 1986, gay and lesbian couples couldn't have their relationships legally recognized and had to adopt elaborate legal workarounds.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

Congrats @abdulelsayed.bsky.social! If he wins in November, he will be the first Senate member with an advanced public health degree, which we so desperately need right now!

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

On this front, I just found out that (CN for SA) -- the guy who SA'd me in San Diego 40 years ago last weekend is dead. Good! Good!! I have been googleable for decades; he chose not to contact me and make amends and I am glad he is gone from the world. What a relief.

As I age, I am increasingly of the opinion that if a nasty shit died, then one needs to remember they were a nasty shit and not sweep the nastiness under the carpet.

Right now is the time to pre-order @charliejane.bsky.social's upcoming #startrek comic called Star Trek: Zero Point, published by IDW, art by Isaac Sanchez Gonzalez, lettering by Jodie Troutman. Charlie Jane explains how to pre-order comics here! www.instagram.com/reel/Ci57-0J...

omg. if you have at all a subway or tuuuube fetish, there are images, thought experiments, tunnel dreams in this piece you will love.

Early on @coyotemedia.org made a list of dream bylines we'd LOVE to have on the site and @annaleen.bsky.social was one of the first on it for me. So stoked to see this piece about ~~speculative transit~~ and big dreams for the Bay Area. www.coyotemedia.org/funding-bay-...

I have long wanted to write for the excellent Bay Area publishing collective COYOTE...and they let me write something that honestly no other publication would. All hail independent media!!

Every time you use genAI, you're supporting an ongoing genocide in Congo. Earlier this year, the US and UAE (which is, with our help, also committing genocide in Sudan) created a paramilitary force to ensure the flow of cobalt and rare earth minerals extracted by child slaves to create GPUs.

Congo Plans Paramilitary Unit for Mines with US, UAE Funding

The Democratic Republic of Congo will create a paramilitary unit to police its mines with funding from the US and the United Arab Emirates, the country’s General Inspectorate of Mines said.

Apropo of this, I have recently read on here that men never get compliments and it's a big deal to them. I'm like, I live with a man and I compliment him most days, thank him for little things every day? Are these men that awful that nobody says nice things to them?

I need a Rube Goldberg device that will eject me from the couch to bed, brushing my teeth midway, when my wee-hours doomscroll paralyzes me.

My husband and I were talking about the brilliance of naming it the pied-à-terre tax because every time they freak out it sounds like the monopoly man fired his butler for bringing him mildly cold toast.

"This is not rare. This is one of life's worst diseases." Professor Chris Ponting speaking about harm from graded exercise therapy and hospital care, and how patients have been let down for decades because #MECFS was wrongly thought to be psychological. (Clip from 2024)

We liked the Nolan Odyssey. It was a good entertainment, last night when I needed to be distracted for a nice chunk of time. I must say, I think the strongest influence on it is C.S. Lewis' unfinished novel fragment "After Ten Years". Reading that as a teen well-versed in Homer, I was gobsmacked.

Spoiler-free what I liked about Spider-Man: They gave him a NY accent Tom Holland’s as good at the role as ever. Shame he’s 47 They carried on the tradition of him being superheroism’s most relatable dude by making him a shut-in VolCel gig worker that constantly cooks his brain talking to ChatGPT

The heartbreaking, fiercely brave story of how Niko was moved home to his mother to be cared for with #SevereME.

It’s August now and the official Severe ME Awareness Day is the 8th of August. In past years our community has talked about how a single day for severe ME is not enough. 1/5 #SevereME #MECFS #pwME #Photography nikosuvisto.com/this-is-how-...

In an incident I absolutely do not recall happening a few weeks ago, one of our very young guests apparently hit Jeremy with a hula hoop, so his grandma said they had to go home. Today he and his brother sent apology cards and a dollar for Jeremy to buy snacks.

People with ME & Long Covid hate Fauci for entirely different reasons than the MAHA crowd

Alex@admiringbog.bsky.social · 6d ago

It’s hard to find a lot about this, but Fauci is also largely responsible for defunding #ME/CFS research, which is one of the reasons we can’t treat #LongCOVID. www.healthrising.org/blog/2021/04...

My #DisabilityPrideMonth is not pride in being disabled. Being a disabled person is value neutral. I’d much rather not be disabled by this illness. It’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to me. But my #DisabilityPride is my pride in the Disablity Justice Community and THAT is worth celebrating.
