I mean... That's kinda true... they don't want "community." Which would be the most typical way for people to give a flying rat's ass about them. But that would involve reciprocating, and they don't wanna have to care about anyone else but themselves.

Just found out about a massive data leak at Twitter/X. I don't use it anymore but I keep my account alive so no one else can claim my username. I just changed my password and suggest others do too. Also use 2FA whenever you can.

At my job I've started putting things in emails that normally would be verbal conversations bc we have a couple of folks who are unaware of the rapid impairment they're operating under. The wild part is other ppl (presumably w/o LC)seeing this, still refuse to mask. 😬

We didn't have a barf bowl cause "you ain't using my good [insert item] for that!" We either had the large grocery bags we put in a small trash basket and put it next to your bed or you just get a towel and just lay in the bathroom until you felt better

Also, immigrants produced this victory. The actual people who produced this victory were the West Africans & North Africans in France who banded together to fight the far right threat. It's not the time for white people to do their happy smiley let's celebrate revolutionary French people thing.

This cannot be emphasized enough: in healthy democracies, this is absolutely normal. It is in “banana republics” that criminals go into politics to stay out of jail.

IMHO, every piece on #SCOTUS's recent radical decisions (especially those invoking "history and tradition") should emphasize the unprecedented nature of the Court's power in our history--power that was never intended by the founding generation these justices claim to revere. /fin

Maybe I'm cynical & will owe up to that... But when I hear they are "surprised" It's surprising it's happening to them. It wasn't a concern when it was folks they deem deserving of mistreatment.

After much pushing from the public, the CDC has decided the right thing to do is to recommend the new booster to everyone above age 6 and not just to "high risk groups".

I hate that the common sense thing has to be a "victory" or moment of celebration instead of a norm.

In my brain I KNOW 1/4 cup is smaller than 1/3. I'm putting away measuring cups & I thought, "Great, the 1/3 is already there I can just put the 1/4 on top" BUT YET my hands move the 1/3 to put on top of 1/4. Brain: wtf... I just said put on top. Why did you do that?! Hands:

Everybody, I already said this yesterday, & this is time for you to practice what you preach. Yesterday the Supreme Court made a ruling that makes being homeless more hazardous than it's ever been. There are tons of mutual aid seekers with you on bluesky that you can help spare from homelessness.

Mask bans are evil and dystopian and I am appalled that they’re even being proposed. Wearing masks to protect your health and the health of others needs to be recognized as a right for all and an absolutely essential protection for those who would otherwise be unable to participate in society
