Once again frustrated by how difficult it is to just *not* buy plastic garbage. Went on a quest for a new laundry basket this morning. I should have realized (but did not until now) that most of the laundry baskets you see in stores that *look* like wicker are actually... Still plastic.

Man, I miss having an iron constitution. I really took that shit for granted 😩 (This post brought to you by my tummy still feeling funny days after my fast has ended)

I did it! Procedure itself was fine because I was under sedation. The worst part of the actual medical stuff was just getting the IV put in because I have terrible luck with them. Now we await labs on the couple of polyps they removed.

Today is the day! I haven't eaten anything since Wednesday night. Prep is a bear, but my procedure is early this afternoon so there is light at the end of the tunnel!

My first choice is "zero billionaires," but if I can't have that I'll take "billionaires with night terrors of guillotines trying to buy off the public."

When you say 'all erotica is bad, no exceptions' you inevitably end up down the rabbit hole of conservatism where LGBT folks, queer culture and anything deemed 'strange' sexually is renounced and eventually banned through legal means.

A friend of mine works in AI and thinks bad things are about to happen. He sold his home and moved his family out the country. He said that if you own a home in a walkable San Francisco neighborhood near a taqueria with good veggie options, you should sell your home for super cheap right now.

Waiting in the Post Office lobby for the service window to open, and some guy comes in and comments "I see the Union workers are doing nothing still" ... Bro, WHAT? It is 8:20AM. You can hear them in the back sorting mail for delivery. Why are you such a dick?

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

if you are any kind of creative or artist or writer you *have* to understand sex workers and porn/erotica artists/authors as being members of the same class as us. to the extent society recognizes a difference between "legitimate" art and porn, it's only as a tenuous, convenient, temporary fiction.
