Ibuprofen. Bliss gummy. Grapefruit seltzer. Clean dry pajama pants and T shirt since I was SOAKED even with apron. But the client’s kitchen is a LOT cleaner.

"stay at home mom" does not mean tradwife. "Person who cooks or does domestic chores" does not mean tradwife. It's a very specific set of fascist adjacent anti-feminist ideals that complement the fantasy of men's place in MAGA. It is toxic, harms women, and enables abuse of women and others.

Scabby the Rat is a famous inflatable champion of the working class, yet there is no Scabby the Rat inflatable costume? Big Halloween is afraid of what a Scabby Army can do.

ok remembering that I bought a bag of frozen BBQ pork bao at Costco and hadn’t even touched them yet because I put them BEHIND the very opaque box of Uncrustables? Win And no I wasn’t going to just eat an uncrustable. I don’t like them. Milo does.

Teach your son to wait. Teach him that other people are as important as he is. Teach him to apologize and go back to the end of the line if he made an entitled decision. Teach him that girls and women deserve respect in *all* scenarios—not just during sex.

One anti-pattern that I really, really hate is - when "offering" a feature or upgrade - only presenting a choice between Do It Now and Ask Me Again Later. I would guess that 90% of users, if given their druthers, would actually choose Fuck Off And Never Bother Me Again.

Apparently the CDC has lost a third of its workforce in one year leaving the agency “zombified,” so considering that the agency which is responsible for controlling diseases appears unable to do so, it would seem our problem is not the people still taking precautions.

I'm beside myself. Studies consistently show that when rapists hear *jokes* about rape, **they** believe IT IS ALL MEN & feel safe to rape. What do you think rapists think when they say "want in on this gang rape?" AND YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING TO STOP THEM.

So Dworkin wasn't saying that every man rapes. She knew full well "not all men." What she was saying was that rape and the threat of rape are woven into our culture in a way that even non-raping men refuse to examine, much less challenge.

Yesterday the barometric pressure dropped about 0.5in/hg in the span of 12 hours, went back up in the next 12, and now it's dropped right back down. It's interesting to think of how migraines have been affected by climate change, as every summer is the hottest and every winter the coldest etc

There are plenty of things that are fine to do in your personal life that are not appropriate to ask colleagues to do because they might FEEL pressuring, even if you genuinely just want to share a thing you love doing. Sex parties are very much at the extreme of this scale!

Instead of dragging out Arendt, re/read Clara Zetkin. For Zetkin, it was “evident that fascism is different in every country, but it always has two key features: a sham revolutionary program [that reflects] the moods .. and demands of broad social masses; and the use of brutal and violent terror.”
