All. Of. This.

why does no one talk about the fact that trump treats every speaking engagement like an abusive manipulator treats their victims? it took me awhile to realize why i have the emotional response i have to him, and now i remember. it's called trauma.

Jesus. In this country even white men who are doctors can't always get doctors to listen to them when it counts. www.huffpost.com/entry/doctor...

I'm A Doctor Who Almost Died Because My Own Doctors Refused To Do This 1 Basic Thingwww.huffpost.com Unfortunately, my experience is all too common. If you find yourself in a situation like I did, here's what you should do.

Someone once said, "if you've sided with the dumbest person in the room, you're on the wrong side." what if you can't tell who is dumber?

It's been practically a year since I've really started using Linux for everything and I kind of want to write out all my conclusions about it and the community that I've experienced. Considering how Windows 11 is shaping up

so i got alot of flak for mentioning that linux is a viable alternative to the two party system (of computers) and so i am wiping out my system and installing ubuntu from scratch as an experiment, to try and envision what it's like from a windows or mac users perspective. 1/n

"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds... I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." - Carl Sagan (📷: NASA/JPL)

America, nay, the world is on the edge of a precipice. A mere feather, and all those horrible apocalypse movies come true... Sorry, I think we're all fucked.

Internet! You know what to do!

So Utah, having passed a transphobic bathroom bill, has launched an online form for people to snitch on folks they think are in the "wrong" bathroom or locker room. Be a real shame if people on the Internet flooded it with fake reports: ut-sao-special-prod.web.app/sex_basis_co...

Being autistic isn't hard. All you have to do is remember the 3 things that make NTs most mad: - Misunderstandings - Any effort on your part to prevent a misunderstanding - Any attempt after the fact to clear up a misunderstanding So long as you avoid those, functioning in NT society is easy!

@wittcase.bsky.social i just read your blog post, and i think many have same issues. have faith in the deity, not the humans. i always felt that love and tolerance took precedence over church rules, and all else would be sorted out in the thousand years after. you are doing fine.

so much of the pronoun bullshit is just people being angry at being asked to treat others with a basic level of respect you don't have to understand gender dysphoria or being nonbinary or neopronouns to just... respect people's wishes about how they want to be addressed

End of feed.
