Funny to suggest that I would be interested in “very very good music” some of us like to listen to dogshit music by people who can’t sing or play their instruments correctly or mix the recording appropriately.

I took my three year old to the cvs minute clinic for her flu vaccine yesterday and it was such a clusterfuck. I cannot imagine how awful it must be to staff one of those things or work any job at a retail pharmacy in 2026.

If rapists actually faced consequences for their actions we wouldn’t have nearly as many rapists. In reality many rapists actually benefit from their actions

If you buy that they care about women's sports, you're a mark and you're going to get financially scammed someday.

My three old is very into dinosaur train and has started telling my husband that she and mommy are smarter than him because we’re scientists and I love hitting her with “being a scientist doesn’t actually mean you’re smart it just means you’re good at asking questions” just look at mommy’s coworkers

dog it’s so crazy to say you don’t need geometry in real life. If you’re too lazy to actually teach math well in homeschool what the fuck are you doing. LBR none of these girlies made it to calc tho.

what a strange coincidence that every woman has friends who have been sexually assaulted (and quite possibly has been herself) and no man seems to be friends with any rapists!

I hate Trump’s legion of cruel, brain-dead ghouls. I hate that they have power over everything I devoted my life to. These people despise the mind itself.

Rafah, a city which had a pre-war population of 170,000 and once hosted the "humanitarian zone" for over a 1,000,000 Palestinian refugees, no longer exists in a meaningful way. Literally ground to dust.

I took my phone (a 13 mini, the goat iPhone) to apple to get the battery replaced yesterday and the tech spent so long trying to convince me to buy a new phone instead of spending $89 getting a new battery but unfortunately for him I can do math to compare $89 to $1000.

We have to say it plainly: a lot of people—a lot of men—just don’t think that rape is very serious.

Meanwhile lots of recent stories about cops using Flock cameras to stalk women and plenty more about domestic violence and assault are a reminder that the criminal justice system is often far more part of the problem than the solution.

One of the best feelings having a young child is being out on a weekend morning running an errand without them and seeing someone else saddled with like three kids. You have never felt so free.

I’m a single issue voter and that issue is, for some reason, what toilets people can use. This is the most important issue facing our society. I would rather every child on earth starve to death than someone use a toilet I didn’t personally approve first.

as always with these things, I'm baffled by the controversy over the Nikole Hannah Jones essay. It's not really a sacrifice to send your kid to public school, since private school risks turning your kid into a privileged little freak. I think everyone knows this even if they won't admit it.

Outside the obvious timebomb of selling out trans kids to appeal to ~16 bigots in deep Ohio, an underplayed part of the whole "trans kids in youth sports" stuff is making the most psycho Little League parents the most important political demo in America. They're joy vampires for the kids themselves!

Foods are making people sick in numbers not seen in recent memory because FDA is not inspecting food bc they fired their food inspectors, yet for some reason this same FDA is still fixated on trying to deny 46 years of evidence that mifepristone is safe, including 4 major FDA reviews finding it safe

When my colleagues and I started digging around in CDC data on pregnancy-related deaths, we noticed something surprising: the rate of ectopic pregnancy deaths had more than doubled in recent years. Nearly 200 women died between 2020 and 2025. So we set out to learn why 🧵
A chart showing an increase in the rate of deaths after an ectopic pregnancy, normalized by the number of live births. In the three-year period starting in 2014, the rate is a little above 4 deaths per million live births. The rate rises sharply for the 2020-2022 period and continues to increase, to 9.8 deaths per million births, in 2023-2025.
