Ha. I do the same. I'm not exercising. I'm commuting/running errands.

Considering planting a tree for earth day? 🌍

I beg you, remember that trees grow. Sometimes very big!

Please don't plant a tree that can reach 70 feet under a power line

Maybe don't plant a River Birch in a dry area (the name is a hint!)

Don't plant a tree that grows 8' wide 2' from your house

'SWIMS' upside down is still 'SWIMS.'

If it’s induction, it likely is on a 240V circuit.

I'm glad they're winning these cases.

Seems to me, though, that the elephant in the room is the question, "why do IDs even need gender designation?" Why do birth certificates? I've never understood this. (except to be a means of identifying and controlling women.)

AAHHHHHHHHHH

This just in: The idea that hygiene conveys anything about one's habits and ability to attend to matters is "unhinged."

I bet if they did some insider trading, they could afford a bigger desk.

By all means ban infinite scroll and autoplay, but why on earth do you want to gift megacorporations the personal data of every single person living in your state?

Have you even listened to a rights group about who these laws actively end up endangering marginalized groups.

Today on Reddit:

Nails with dirt under them and jagged edges are not a hygiene issue but only a fashion issue.

No one should infer anything about people with filthy hands because not everyone has money for manicures.

Interview checklists that include clean clipped nails are discriminatory.

Your family is now in their files as "known to CPS," and obviously nothing comes of reporting a child care as weird other than that you're now on record as having done that. Like, yes, call them if your child comes home with serious marks and the staff is sketchy about it, sure. But not this! 2/2

Yes! The number of people saying to report a child care based on vibes. No no no. A CPS investigation is focused on "whether a particular child is safe." So your baby gets listed as "reported child," and they visit your home, call your ped and others and tell them you have a CPS investigation. 1/

This.

Reminder that shes not just a bigot with bad opinions

She actively funds hate groups taking regular trans people to court for doing their jobs, signal boosts lies about individual trans people to her millions of followers and lobbies courts and government to attack us

Me w 20+ years of doing child welfare court evals: Just get a new sitter. There's nothing to investigate, and CPS will interview your child care, employer, pediatrician about your family. You risk getting a case for "choosing improper caregivers."



Them: Why do you want babies to be murdered? 2/2

"I think this babysitter is weird and my baby isn't super comfortable with them"



Hundreds of people on Reddit: Definitely file a CPS report because the sitter might be murdering babies and hiding them and they would magically figure that out if you filed a report that the sitter is weird. 1/

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?

ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

I feel like batman could carry more things if he wore cargo pants instead of tights and a belt

Mmhmm. I also block at the first hint of entitlement, demandingness, whataboutism from someone I have no relationship with. Just no interest.

I do think for "normal" stuff, this type of block cuts down on drama since it just nukes the whole thing, but the bigots definitely know how to weaponize it. Like, all sunshine and roses on my dogwhistle here, definitely no one calling it out and me abusing them then blocking.

The bigots weaponize the blocking here, because it cuts off the whole thread. I had one go anti-semitic on me the other day, then quote me and start their own threads about me. Didn't block me, but blocked everyone calling it out (after abusing them) so context was gone and I looked oversensitive.

No matter where you are on your journey, whether you're socially transitioning, medically transitioning, both, or neither, whether you're binary or not, whether you have one gender or many or none at all...remember that I love you and you matter.

Nope. Some don’t allow updating at all, some require a doctor’s letter, some require the letter to state they’ve had certain surgeries, some allow complete self-selection without any documentation. Some states only have two gender markers.

Bike fatalities in San Diego:
- Child killed on a sidewalk by driver speeding down alley
- Man killed rearended on quiet residential street suspected distracted driving
- Woman killed in Gaslamp sideswiped by pickup driver
- Mother killed on ebike by driver running a stop sign

The cars are problem

For people who’ve updated the gender, the original birth certificate is impounded and no longer legally exists. Same with adopted people and others. They have valid birth certs, but not original birth certs. And some people’s birth certificates have X gender, which passport agency won’t use anymore.
