I've got to delete bluesky from my phone. It never makes me smile, only infuriates me. I was interested in what was actually happening in the world, unfortunately

Glad Amy is well! Unfortunately, many without public assistance or with private insurance with high deductibles can’t afford or don’t prioritize appointments at the dermatologist. My deductible for a (benign) biopsy was $200. People with limited means can’t afford it. But if you can see your doc!

What a year inside a federal contractor taught me about why government software is bad — and why nobody inside the system wants it to be good.

The dumbest refusal to enact a policy in my lifetime. As if someone making $200,000 or $400,000 is never going to make less and won't need social security. Even if that's true, to pay what you can to make sure your fellow citizens can live a dignified life

What a dumb fight to pick and I'm talking to the esteemed Oliver Willis because who the f*** gives a s*** what Peter Sagal thinks about Caroline Leavitt. He is not a journalist on NPR and clearly people commenting don't know that. It's lame to post about people who block you. You're better than that

Murkowski voted for 21 of Trump’s 22 Senate-confirmed Cabinet and Cabinet-rank nominees. Her only no vote was against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. She voted for Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, Tulsi Gabbard, Russell Vought, and RFK Jr. Fuck her

The tragedy traces back to an ICE stop and deportation of Nixon Giovanni Pérez Paz. A year later, amid acute struggle, his wife, Glendy, decided to "self-deport." Weeks after reuniting, the couple was found dead in a field. “If my brother hadn’t been deported…Both of them might still be alive.”

She followed ICE’s advice to self-deport. Five weeks later, she was dead.
A St. Louis mother took her three daughters to reunite with her deported husband in Guatemala. Neighbors found the couple bound and shot in a sugarcane field.

The doctor who tried to save lives during Covid is being treated like a villain. The traitors who beat up cops at the Capitol on Jan. 6 are being treated like victims or heroes. It's American madness.

She's been studying the Odyssey for decades. Chris Nolan decided he wanted to make The Odyssey after he saw the subplot about Argos the dog. He referenced several translations including Wilson's but he made Hollywood would produce and it's not surprising that a scholar wouldn't enjoy the movie

He could save millions of lives with 10% of his wealth. Ask people if they would give up 10% of their wealth if it would save millions of lives and see how many people would say they would not. I bet even some maga would say "sure"

He could spend 5% of his wealth and prevent hundreds of thousands more from dying though that would be an acknowledgment that he is responsible for speakable human suffering

At least 79 kids have been harmed by tear gas or pepper spray during Trump’s immigration crackdown. In most cases, they were going about their days when officers shot chemical munitions near their homes and schools and into their cars. (Published May)

Kids Are Being Harmed by Tear Gas, Pepper Spray Under Trump. There Could Be Long-Term Consequences.
In several cities, judges have chastised federal immigration officers, saying they used excessive force. One former DHS leader called ProPublica’s findings a “bright red flag.”

Was he? Is that by he went along with big cuts to foreign aid, to USAID, to support for AIDS programs? Why he supported Trump who dismantled State and the NSC and attacked the intel community? He was on both sides of this. Be honest.

If I’m going to write about feeling excruciatingly depressed and not get a single pebble of engagement, Bluesky isn’t the right outlet. Not looking for a hundred likes. Three would be nice. Zero is invalidating, makes me feel I’ve launched my thoughts into a void.

Given what I’ve endured over the decades, I shouldn’t still be here. I happen to be cursed with some gene that makes me want to survive to try again another day. The awful truth about mental health care is that there’s really no acute treatment for some people. 988 is a joke—I’ve tried it.

Text I sent to a friend. No one is going to see this. I’ll delete it. This is depression. "I'm completely wrecked/numb/whatever so that's why my lack of anything to say about .. or .. I wish a mental health urgent care meant you'd get a massage and fabulous drugs. No way I'd go [to one]"
