Hey, BlueSky, serious question: If I, a highly organized person, offered you a reasonable price to help you go through your papers (bills, receipts, etc.), books, and overflowing drawers, would you give it a try EVEN THOUGH I don't have an Instagram presence or a video about my successful methods?

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

Yes, "imagine"!! Imagine every moment I’m trying to work filled with “look at me look at me!” Imagine trying to fill weekdays, as well as weekends, with playdates, bc we don’t live in an imagined suburbia where all kids are the same age and all home over the summer! Imagine never having time alone!

Screenshot of an article title and subhead that read "Why Not Let Your Kids Have a 'Wild' Summer? Sure, you could sign them up for the usual however many weeks of camp - "baby jail" as my son calls it - but imagine if you didn't. By Amil Niazi"

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care! EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

sreenshot from the new york times reporting that Stanford University’s provost is talking about how the loss of funding from national institutes of health funding will cost the university $160 million. that’s not the way to get this changed — the people think “stanford is rich; no big deal.” leaders need to talk about what this will cost the public

I’m #autistic & #Jewish. I know plenty of other autistic Jews online. How do you think it feels for us to watch rich, powerful men use autism as an excuse to spread Nazism? It’s such a thin, ridiculous excuse, it should be dismissed out of hand, but this is the Discourse now, every day.

One thing I hope we can avoid this go-round is training friendly fire on progressives/leftists/liberals who are mobilizing on an issue that isn't ~our~ primary cause. Any given person/organization can only do so much; it doesn't mean that they're indifferent to other injustices.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect

Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

Completing the pre-surveys for my annual physical, and the questions on the anxiety screening page are hilarious to contemplate at this particular moment in U.S. history

Survey that asks user to indicate how often in the last 2 weeks they've experiend "feeling nervous, anxious, or on edge"; "not being able to stop or control worrying"; and "trouble relaxing"

The backlash to #metoo has been astonishingly successful, as the 2024 election and recent confirmation hearings amply demonstrate. But it's also clear that we are not shutting up and we are not going away and we will not stop insisting upon our ownership of our own bodies, selves, and histories.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

I hope Gisèle Pelicot will remain proud of her clarity, courage, fury, and dignity all the rest of her days. And I hope, though I'm not optimistic, that every man who found himself for a single second sympathizing with any of the 50 men who raped her will think about why he had that impulse.
