Today, we highlight single mom Mai, who's increasingly struggling to secure food and diapers for her three kids, including her five-month-old baby, due to Gaza being on the brink of famine. Read that back.

My mom also succumbed to the satanic panic

Woman let me read Stephen King and Clive Barker as a preteen, didn't blink an eye when the books on witchcraft showed up in my teen years, but the D&D was a step too far

I've never let her live it down 😂

Yep! I think about it every Christmas season

I've made it a few times, not as much as the mrs, but enough to miss the taste of fresh out of the oven

Spaaaaace

I moved to American Samoa and saw how the US absolutely decimated both the land and its people in the pursuit of war, then abandoned the entire island and left everything to rot

C, I found gluten free phyllo the other day. $40/lb

Might be worth it to have baklava again.

“But think of all the good things AI could do”

Yeah, rich people have said that about money forever, and yet I’ve almost never seen them use it for good so forgive me if I’m wary

Alt-text: Screenshot of a Bluesky post thread by Pavel (@spavel.bsky.social) doing a cybersecurity-style pronoun joke. The main post says: “Make sure to rotate your pronouns periodically, so that if your gender becomes compromised, attackers can only access it for a short period of time.” It shows 155 reposts, 9 quotes, 631 likes, and 7 saves. Replies continue the bit: one says you should not reuse any of your last 7 pronouns because that is “more secure”; another jokes that replacing a pronoun field with an emailed magic link is not user-friendly for most “gender users”; and a final post says pronouns are written like “he/him” for this reason, quoting someone who adds, “Two factor gender is more secure.” Overall tone is dry nerd humor, mixing trans/pronoun discourse with password-security language.

omg that's awful, I want to scream in sympathy

That was quite the read

It's pretty obvious that gaslighting as a service is the next big thing in the c-suite

‘It’s a Nightmare’: The Human Toll of the Catholic Church’s Trans Healthcare Ban Missing hormones. Canceled surgeries. Bureaucratic denials. Late last year the Catholic Church banned all trans healthcare across its sprawling networks. The impact on trans people's lives is devastat...

Crossing state borders for HRT. Insurance denials. Missed surgeries.

U.S. Catholic bishops imposed a ban on all trans healthcare throughout the church's massive networks. That's left working class trans people struggling even more.

Our latest, by @davidforbes.bsky.social are some of their stories:

Twice in one year, in two different homes across the state from each other

and still not the worst thing that happened that year

Thankfully long in the rear view. I hope this year is treating you more kindly

That's one I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing, the book was terrific

Yea, it's been a hell of a year here though. It's nearly April and I'm still trying to recover from February.

Having experienced two of the three I'm right there with you

Getting a shingles vaccine in a couple of weeks so I don't follow you on the third

A screenshot of a tweet from user @RadishHarmers that reads "I cannot believe my life lasted long enough for computers to stop being fun."

Ain't that the fuckin' truth. Goddamn.

What bravery, to _almost_ take a stand against bigotry but take a fat paycheck and side with the bigots instead

I hope the project humiliates them all and everyone associated walks away permanently tainted with the stench

Thanks for rocking with me y'all. In the short term, I have a phone bill due on Friday and an appt I need to uber to tomorrow, so there’s an immediate goal of $160!!!

I have questions about the bbq muskrat

Housing, food, medicine. Those who have the least get the most.

The way that you get another Fetterman is simply by ignoring everything right in front of your face

and once you got him... he's yours

once he's in power... he's empowered

take seriously the character of your elected leaders

That man is the mental equivalent of a microwave baked potato

...whrrrrrrrrrrrrr *ding!*

And here men wondered why I carried multiple knives on me during my 20s. It's because you manhandled without my consent; put me down or you'll lose your balls

I didn't transition to get away from straight men but I greatly appreciate how less desirable I am to them

One can only hope

Oh gonna have to add that one to the pile

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
