I find saying "hey these usually knock me on my ass because my immune system reacts pretty strong, any suggestions for getting ahead of that?" or similar works pretty well for threading the needle there, though they may just say take a couple Tylenol and tank it out or "idk have fun"

I have concluded my immune system has some sort of pick-me I'm-not-like-the-other-leukocytes personality to it because it always knocks me flat when everyone says it wasn't that bad and this year it was more or less "my arm kinda hurt for an hour or two" when everyone else agrees it SUCKED

you only have to read the Court's public corruption jurisprudence to realize that a bipartisan belief on SCOTUS is that it is almost ipso facto impossible for a public official to commit a crime related to the office they hold. which is insane when you spell it out, but also an accurate summation.

imagine if she was on set all the time lol like I 100% believe this story and the key part is its a captive audience type situation

I've heard straight men talk about trans women as though they're fallen
men to whom sympathy ought to be automatically extended, but there's
deeper stuff going on, too.
I asked a lefty straight man I know (this is irl) whether he was aware how
many penised "lesbians' are involved in the push to access female
spaces. The subject made him incredibly uncomfortable. He simply
didn't want to hear it. I then asked him whether he knew what his
straight male friends wanted from women in the bedroom, kink/sex wise.
Horrified look: "no, of course I bloody don't:
I said to him that if you put 100 straight and bi women of our age and
average sexual experience in a room together, they could write an
authoritative compendium on straight male kink in an afternoon, from
their own direct experience or that of women they know. I said I
presumed he knew that a cross-dressing fetish is one of the most
common paraphilias in heterosexual men and that this has been in the
psychological literature since Freud.
I cannot overstate how little he wanted to talk about this, let alone
acknowledge that any of it was real and happening. I don't know
whether it was the idea that women actually talk about what they meet
in the bedroom that touched a nerve, or whether he found the whole
subject ick, or didn't like the suggestion that he was naive or poorly
informed, but the impression given was that I was depraved to say such
things aloud, and that he'd much prefer a seemly silence.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

Richie Torres figured it out?

What they're saying: "The ads were deeply offensive to the Equality Caucus and the broader LGBTQ community that we represent," said Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), who co-chairs the caucus' political arm, Equality PAC.

He told Axios: "The Equality Caucus is not going to stand by passively and allow anyone to scapegoat the trans community. It is a red line for us."
Equality PAC "is absolutely not supporting her campaign at this time," the group said in a separate statement to Axios, calling Kaptur's language "unacceptable."

To be clear, that's more contempt of court charges on TOP of the minefield they already ran full-tilt into here, possibly even from entirely different litigation/judges, and at a point judges who might've previously levied fines start thinking it's gonna take jail time to get the message across
