I know this is kind of a cliché, but sometimes I'm sitting here in my living room with my front door open listening to neighbors greet each other on the sidewalk and bugs make bug noises and I read some garbage thing on Facebook about how the place I live is a hellhole and the contrast is absurd

As someone who felt like I was going to be run over multiple times last night in Apple Fest traffic (just trying to get to an appointment), I can say with all confidence that this woman can fuck right off. (And that comment about her car being worth more than other humans is fucking unhinged.)

Oh I missed the very beginning. Yeah, I had to ride my bike in Apple Fest traffic last night and have never seen so many shit drivers at one time since I started riding my bike here. And yeah, they were all in the bike lanes, especially the contraflow one on Leavitt. 🤬

Meta has enabled Muse to build extensive and ever-growing profiles on the orbit of people in a user’s life. Based on user input but also “publicly available information.” Whether that means a web search, Facebook’s own extensive data, or buying data broker info…we don’t know? And we can’t opt out.

This is why I am always telling y'all you want your raw oysters to be from very cold water, and why I, personally, do not eat Florida/Gulf oysters raw, ever. Warmer water = more bacteria, a problem climate change is exacerbating. Love, your friend the oyster shucker.

it really needs to be more openly discussed that all the people advocating for “we should be fine with losing basic skills if we get more systems thinking” are men, meaning socialized to expect to be able to offload basic tasks of daily living onto a wife as part of their compensation for existing

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.
