The French Left has shown how not to capitulate to the far right. You don't negotiate with fucking fascists, you don't normalise them, or try to act helpless amid their rise. You don't move to the right to please them. You move further to the Left and BEAT them! That's what you do!

Among the many evils of "crisis pregnancy centers": they are not medical providers and so do not follow HIPAA or medical privacy ethics. Instead, they gleefully give away (to right-wing orgs) and sell (to data brokers) all information you give them. They should be illegal.

Google “Massachusetts crisis pregnancy” and this link pops up. It’s part of a statewide campaign, including public signage (highway billboards!), urging people to avoid crisis pregnancy/anti-abortion centers. The Commonwealth is not fucking around with this.

Definitely didn't think that she might still poo herself when I agreed to the 5.5 year old and 4 year old getting a bunk bed, with the older of the two sleeping on the top bunk. Gonna need another ibuprofen after wrangling the mattress onto the floor.

Liberals are okay with suffering as long as it's not them. The Left wants wealthy people to stop hoarding money.

Try to get "Glaswegian-accented Hungarian was formerly the diplomatic language of much of Europe during much of the 1570s" into a sentence with a straight face.

There's a guy a few towns over who used to have a ferret armoured car standing in front of his house. I saw it get removed and building works start two years ago so I figured they must have sold the house. There's a howitzer in front of the place now.

Tonight, I installed Linux onto a 12 year-old laptop I had languishing in a drawer, one which hadn't been booted up since 2019. I've never even used Linux, but not only was the install completely smooth, it runs as well as it did new. This is some voodoo shit, I'm genuinely amazed.

Really need to get some of those dissolving laundry bags they have in hospitals and care homes. Would make it easier to deal with child related biohazard incidents.

It’s amazing the extent to which our billionaire tech bro overlords are just telling us out loud that they are rooting for fascism. Makes me slightly nostalgic for the days when American plutocrats plotted against democracy in secret.

Two kids have diarrhoea, one has a high temperature, nice start to their summer holidays. Guess we get to play the "is it covid or a random childhood bug?" game this week.

Since my band of wannabe squirrels has provided me with more than enough pine cones to decorate the Christmas tree, I'll have to figure out whether we want to spray paint them and how to best preserve them if not

We’ve returned to the olden days, when word-of-mouth was the only real way to advertise. As an author, if you enjoy a book, please: tell your friends. Your group chat, your sewing circle, your family WhatsApp, your work Slack, the voice channel of your MMORPG guild, anything.

Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

People act like OSHA is this gang of fun-haters who make up stupid rules to make their jobs annoying. Literally every single regulation OSHA has ever written was in response to someone getting maimed; usually killed, but sometimes merely losing a limb or two. Occasionally breathing corrosive gas.

Really need to get one of those zip up CD cases like we used to have in the 90s and 00s, the kids are subscribed to magazines that come with stories on CD and that'd be a good way to organise them.

Nice thing about the clean patio is the ability to put the children's outside toys there instead of on the lawn and having them play outside within view.

Fell asleep to people making their own model rocket motors and woke up thinking that I have access to a 3D printer and could do then same.

Happy #primeweek! I just want to let y’all know that the Amazon shipping warehouse where my husband works is denying workers fans during a nationally recognized heat emergency and everything you order during time week places workers’ lives at risk.

For the record I would also be less traumatized from the pandemic if people I knew stopped dying from it which we could reduce to as low as possible IF THEY WOULD JUST WEAR A FUCKING MASK
