absolutely sidestepping a bunch of handwringing bullshit about electorialism by simply looking at assholes and orienting yourself correctly

notebeans reposted

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

ok but this is actually an appropriate way to honor Bacchus and i think the ancients would have agreed

On April 5, 1977, people with disabilities occupied government buildings across the country with simple demands: access to education, jobs, and public spaces. It has been fifty years since the Section 504 sit-ins, but the fight for those with disabilities continues.

posted this a year ago today and way too many cis people still seem to have not gotten the message

right wing bigots have admitted - the “trans women in bathrooms” issue - the “trans women in sports” issue and - the “trans kids getting surgery” issue were all MADE UP TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY are you paying attention?

there’s no middle ground position on this. either musk is forcibly rooted out of government infrastructure or every war proceeds at the whims and dictates of a generational buffoon

if i die from sepsis, the er and about six other doctors in my fuckass city are all responsible for completely failing to screen me for a bacterial infection

i got sick nearly two fucking years ago, had a bitch of a sore throat, and even after a round of antibiotics (despite no one ever running a culture or testing for strep) the swelling in my throat never fully went away. And I suggested i might have an abscess and no one has ever fucking checked.

because my throat didn't "look swollen", it "looked normal" to the ER nurses I mentioned said concern to. bitch it doesn't look normal to me! either there's an abscess, some other kind of mass back there, or permanent damage!

popping in briefly to say the only reason this is ever a discourse is bc western nerd/geek/fandom subculture broadly does not have a frame of reference or cultural comparison/trope (YET) of "female nerd who has a deep artistic and Libidinal obsession with f/f". from the recent gal x gal chapter :

The French police are so militarized they blew up a 15-yr-old’s hand and took the eye of another one. Why are grenades being used to quell student protestors who are unarmed? Now the labour unions are stepping in to protect the students

watching someone realize in real time that i am actually disabled and i wasn't just saying that, i actually meant it, then suddenly start ignoring my existence sure is something.

"have you tried [pain killer]" well they wouldn't need pain killers if you actually found and fixed the problem

my sister or squirming and crying in pain from period complications and these ppl are like "have you tried [pain killer]" doesn't help the emts were cis men too. unhelpful

omfg thank you it is SO much safer to have center contraflow bike lanes in areas like this where they can go onto dedicated bike intersections, instead of having them cut across from the right side for turns. They're the obvious solution but it's exceptionally rare around here

Mark Sussman@mark-sussman.bsky.social

Contraflow bike lanes are a cheat code for navigating city streets and calm traffic by narrowing extra wide travel lanes. This new lane in #bikeDC at 13th and South Carolina SemE has been on my list for a decade and it's finally here!

I'm addition, it's not just to sell democrats to queers, it's to sell "democrats love queers" to cishets. it's straight up pinkwashing. rainbow flag ai-powered genocide. trans people say fuck no and we get tossed out on our asses for it. and we still say fuck no.

every "pride" Democrat org: "For party leadership, the caucus is simply a recruitment and sales team. The job, in their eyes, is not to represent the LGBTQ+ community to the party, but to sell Democratic candidates to the LGBTQ+ community, regardless of the harm those candidates may cause."

I was given an urgent referral to an allergist who is one of the only people in my state who knows how to treat mast cell disorders, and I never heard from them. Turns out, the office has refused to even SHOW the doctor the referral or communicate with the referring doc's office about this.

And people wonder why there's such a massive gender disparity in positions of power, why cis men dominate academia... Ask yourself why survivors should be expected to leave to protect themselves, over the predators that made the environment unsafe

if you don't want old rapists making laws it's time to start getting rapists kicked out of colleges and the administators who cover for them fired. You have to actually stop them from gaining power in the first place.

Obsessed with this van in my town owned by someone who is in a feud with a local car dealer (Pohanka) for not honoring the warranty on their van so they spite covered that same van front to back in stickers with bad reviews, emails from the owner, and “Puck Fohanka.” 10/10 Hater behavior.

im so fucking sleepy and i know it's bc i havent done my T injection yet but the problem is being sleepy makes it harder to do the injection. can never win

I think im gonna try to shower and see if that helps bc the combination of Adderall, caffeinated tea, salt tablets, and creatine hasnt done it and usually at least one of those helps but no im Still stupid tired

See this only works if your ideological priorities that people are disagreeing on aren't things like "I deserve to be alive and healthy". MAGA republicans want to take away my access to the literal only medication that made my body work well enough to participate in society again.

Justin Wolfers@justinwolfers.bsky.social

The best cure for ideological bias is find someone on the other side and go to lunch with them.⁣ ⁣ Sometimes we disagree about facts. Sometimes we disagree about values. Figuring out which is which is fun part. https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/my-libertarian-friends-were-right

It's not a matter of "other side". It's a matter of "do you have enough basic respect for my rights as a human being to allow me to live and be healthy" and so far, most people have failed to clear that bar. If you think it should be harder for me to get HRT, we can't be friends.

the last hurrah was really that first round of paid verification when people were pretending to be Nintendo and Eli Lily and shit, GOD that was a fun couple days

i could probably technically still show up for the out but they've already replaced me at this rate, and god i am EXHAUSTED. i literally slept for like 13 hours and im still stupid tired i need to get more quercetin man it was actually helping with that

they've convinced themselves that being a politician is gainful employment and "old people need to get back into the workforce" is their excuse for not retiring when they're on death's door

Republican Congressman Mike Collins signals his intent to end Social Security: "[Old people need to] get off of Social Security [and] get back into the workforce."

physical fitness is not required to perform a TSA security checkpoint agent's job, this is ableist as fuck, and I hope they get sued into oblivion over this by current TSA employees

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

TSA says it is removing chairs at document checks in airports, requiring staff to stand for their shift. TSA explained the reason as twofold: to ensure its employees meet its fitness standards and to create an amiable environment for travelers.

i've met quite a few people who've worked TSA or similar types of security guard jobs and not only is their job insanely fucking boring, they have to enforce stupid menial rules that we all know are unnecessary and unhelpful. The least you can do is let them rest so it goes more smoothly

fascists are absolutely fucking obsessed with the crusades and this idea of holy war but the thing about the crusades is they weren't even holy wars. The crusades were characterized by collaboration between Muslim and Christian powermongers who fucked over everyone they could to get rich.

Nancy Levine Stearns@nancylevinestearns.bsky.social

No one wants Hegseth’s extremist holy war. VOTE

i literally wrote an essay about this for my final in a history class and got an A so while I'm no subject matter expert, i think i am qualified to say that hegseth doesn't know fuckshit about the crusades and he should maybe take a history class

rotting potatoes smell remarkably similar to dead mice. i know this because mice sometimes die in the vents at my dad's house and every time we thought we smelled a dead mouse at my mom's, it turned out to be a rotting potato buried in the back of the pantry

Kristina Killgrove@killgrove.bsky.social

I was not prepared for how much of adulting is trying to figure out what That Smell is. Not the trash can. Not the other trash can. (Took them out.) Not the garbage disposal, the dishes, or the cat box. (Cleaned them all.) Aha, it’s a rogue potato that decided to liquefy itself in the cabinet! 🥔
