Anyway, your problem isn‘t finding the time to take notes. The problem is that taking notes is thinking and thinking has to be done by someone. women have been doing a lot of metacognition that looks like a task when it’s really thinking.

Two years ago i caught a cold and was stuck in bed unable to work upright barely able to get myself to the bathroom or to make food for 13 weeks. And guess what I didn’t enjoy losing 1/4 of my year.

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

It will never cease to amaze me the dumbass things people will hold against others that have nothing to do with competence. What we wear, what we drink, etc. Expecting people to learn an ever evolving, ever stupider social code just so you can feel superior or keep a class of people out of jobs

Can’t eat a sandwich until you subscribe to sandwiches. Can’t eat today’s sandwich until it has applied daily sandwich updates. Sandwich now has adverts even though you paid for ad-free sandwich. Can pay again to have less sandwich adverts. Now you can eat the sandwich, but it’s smaller.

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

Pointing and laughing at people who created a community to try and protect the disabled and chronically ill is not allyship actually.

Covid in 98% of airport air samples. A reminder that you can wear an n95 when you travel, even if you don’t wear one all the time, and why wouldn’t you want to avoid getting sick while you’re on a trip?

I'm serious when I say I've lost track of all the recent revelations of literal Nazis working in high-level positions in Republican congressional campaigns and I would very much appreciate a journalist who took the time to detail as many of them as can fit into an article.

I swear adults have regressed in basic public health decency since Covid. Someone came up and hugged me then told me they vomited this am and don’t know why. Adults rolling their eyes at me when I ask that folx wash hands before sharing food. Leaving the bathroom without washing hands.

I wish. My partner killed one with their hands in our house, an enormous amount of human blood emerged from the mosquito’s body + dripped onto our kitchen island, + we realized we didn’t know if the blood belonged to one of us or a complete stranger. Since then killing mosquitos feels pretty gross.

When Democrats attempt to triangulate on trans rights, it's my sense that many liberals and people in politics don't understand why many trans people are so upset. I wrote about the differences between then and now, what trans people have lost, and what we still stand to lose

If you're trying to propose to people with trans children in their lives that their lives are a worthwhile sacrifice for other Democratic priorities, consider whether you'd be convinced that your children should be sacrificed for the greater good of someone else's family.

I hope ppl realize that when someone says "This is the situation" and doesn't ask for advice that A) they're not asking for advice, so don't offer any, but also B) when you offer really basic advice it's fucking insulting because do you think the person involved has never considered anything before?

Yes and they saw the masses get expanded SNAP benefits, not kicking people off of Medicaid, remote work, etc. etc. and decided Oh shit we don’t like the masses having a better quality of life it makes them harder to control. So let’s strip away at any semblance of a safety net and keep them sicker

From their perspective, if A.I. isn't going to get them a good job (and the A.I. narrative is boasting about eliminating good jobs) then college should at least match their idea of what it used to be -- personal, inspiring, chats on the quad, experiences. Then their class is all about tech.

While everyone is concerned about ICE acquiring “Shock Gloves”, it’s important to note they’re already being used in schools and jails. A man in Kentucky was killed when a guard held the glove on him for over a minute. Even more egregious, shock devices have been used for years on disabled kids:

ICE's New "Shock Gloves" are Already in American Schools...

In fact, shock devices have been used in schools for disabled children for years. Now they’ve entered the public school system in Nebraska. Why is no one talking about it?
