Well, my white blood cells fell off a cliff over the weekend. Had to go to the er on Monday. They are recovering, slowly, with daily booster shots. My final chemo is postponed to Tuesday from today. Took the long-planned thank you cupcakes to the nurses today anyway

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

transiticsnews.comI’m a Texan Trans Kid Who Almost Died Because of Ken Paxton. The World Should Know What He’s Done.Regardless of Talarico’s recent statements on trans people, Paxton cannot be rewarded for the extreme suffering he’s inflicted on me and tens of thousands of Texan trans kids.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Like any good proof of life photo, Mitch McConnell is holding a newspaper to corroborate that he was in fact alive on July 12, 2026.

Mitch McConnell has released a photo and the first statement on his condition: "I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital. While receiving excellent care over the past several weeks, I’ve also had to deal with a mild case of pneumonia."

I think it's really cute that we let the men have their moment to shine in football/soccer before the real World Cup happens in 2027 This Mens World Cup has shown that men belong on the pitch too. Obviously theyre not as good as the women, but still somewhat fun to watch

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

If you read the quoted thread, you'll see that the situation is moving rapidly for Sunshine. That must be unbearably hard on her. So: I'm thinking. Why not give her a little breathing room? 1/6 #UglyDogs

Some of my kiddos from work are at risk of losing their home. This single mom has no one. I am the village. If they lose their home, I lose them. 💔 www.gofundme.com/f/save-sunsh...

I stole my cat back from my mom (she’s basically my mom’s now) so I could have some company. She’s entertaining and occasionally cuddly. But yesterday i discovered how much more painful it is for a cat to step on your port vs just your boob 😳

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

Stolen from threads: “My neighbor has 5 kids by THREE different women (cheated on all of them), hires "escorts", is married to an immigrant who barely speaks English, tore up beautiful landscaping to build an ugly patio, there's a bunch of unfinished construction all over the property….

…”and his house is constantly being shot at -- it's so ghetto and law enforcement refuses to do anything about it!! Take my advice and avoid 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW for your own safety.”

My rep is leading the charge. So happy to be in her district

The last time the federal minimum wage was raised was 2009. For too long, our economy has relied on underpaying the very workers who keep this country running. That harm has fallen hardest on women, workers with disabilities, tipped workers, Black and brown workers, and working families.

This is exactly what we have been begging for! Yay!

Thursday's vote in the House provides funding for DHS after a more than two-month shutdown, but does not include dollars for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. n.pr/4n1YFYv

These videos make me so MAD because what do you mean NYC has the BEST mayor and the rest of us are stuck with career politicians lining the pockets of the fat cats

I hate AI so much. So. Much. Please stop trying to make me use AI. I will never use your ChatGPT, your Copilot, your Grok 🤮 I will die on this hill. It is unethical. It is error prone. It is predatory. It is destroying us. I hate it. I hate it all. I will hate it forever.

The first half is slow but the second half is on point (this is anti-generative AI, in a beautiful way)
