I now want to make a coffee shop/bookstore/slam poetry bar scene, put it nearish to the local university, and call it "Third Space". Open from 2p - 1am. Coffee, teas and a limited wine selection; keep it fancy.
GenX POV:HR and PR are typical pink collar domains, and I have a tsp of appreciation for a plain menopausal woman with a typical career, who didn’t both to cover her gray roots before her date, was shagging and bagging a CEO. Note: I am not commenting on their choices, character nor their families.
How did the House GOP block releasing files that, according to Pam Bondi, don't exist?
No doubt, but these times call for bold language to fight back against the BS, the simpler and more direct, the better.
I want a strong, simple, brutal noun to use.
The English language lacks a specific noun to describe people in power whose enacted decisions causes a rising death toll.
I saw the uproar about Etsy allowing "Alligator Alcatraz" items for sale. I logged on and did a search. Sunuvabsssshh! Loads of sellers popped up!!
Boycotting Etsy and all of his asses going forward.
Yesterday I saw a conversation pop up ma o ka 'ŌH, between two I've never heard of, and our community is small; there is no degrees of separation for us. One wound up being an AI tool. I'll be mulling over this for quite some time to come.
Ei nei e Void: pehea i kaupalena ai kāu waihona ʻikepili? ʻAʻole moākāka iaʻu ke kaʻina hōʻole a hoʻopau paha.
That “bubble gut” comment is the brutal humor we need. 💀
Dudley and Dobby, watching their Master cast spells.
I'm down to participate in Lenten practices of sacrificing for 40 days. It builds resilience and appreciation. I'm stuck this year; I have no fresh ideas on what to choose; the news is clouding my focus. I would love ideas!
Now, if you are ethnically White, you are luckiest; measles' exposure and survival is multi-generational in your family's history. For the rest of us, it's a swift killer and a painful way to die. Every sore hurts. Nerves overloaded. For the lucky, maybe your kid will come out of it just deaf.
If your child can’t fight it off, death will happen in 7-10 days (earlier for infants). It takes 10 days after the 2nd shot to sufficiently build antibodies. If your child is already fighting measles, the shots might be too late; it depends on how strong the scourge is in their bodies.
If your child succumbs:
- keep them quarantined
- keep them hydrated
- fight the fever as diligently as possible
- high doses of Vitamin A is NOT effective and an addtl stressor on the body. Remember: the dose makes it poison. So, rethink your trust in such theories if your child’s life is at stake
We have four hospitals on my island and they are all 90 min apart by drive. And when we factor out auto accidents, my island sends more medivac flights to the main hospitals in the big city than all other islands combined.
Let's talk about #measles
reluctant to remind everyone that the DOJ site still has up its page of links: Overview of The Privacy Act of 1974 (2020, last updated 2022), in case you want to answer that appallingly stupid meme going around about questioning giving DOGE bags access to our SSNs but everyone else gets to see it:
Likewise, those who were complicit as they decided to sit the last election out or voted third party.
Elon’s kid spent the press conference yesterday insulting Trump and reminding him who’s actually in charge… #news #elonmusk
Seeing #Trump-neutral™ people seem to describe him as old and wacky, while surrounded by nefarious businessmen. Their words include "all of his efforts will face a stay through the courts", confident that it's adequate. That this is all just for show and eventually the real governing will happen.
Re: Trump's EO rapid-fire shenaninaniz: This is where the weakest links of checks & balances reveal themselves. Is it the mosquitos in Congress, failing to pass unassailable laws, or the jackals on the Courts failing to interpret correctly according to the Constitution?
Hawai'i needs to shut down travel from these states. We do not have the medical bandwidth to handle these outbreaks.
the worst thing that could happen to gifted, intelligent children born in Idaho is for the parents to raise them there.
The vibes are giving Lockdown 2021 all over again. Tired, fussy, and I want all of this bs to hurry up and fix itself.
stop talking about RFKJr having his kids vaccinated. In the 1980s and 1990s when those kids were all born, it would have been their mothers who made that decision, trotting them off to the pediatrician. Famous daddies didn't bother.
Not sure how long we reports like this will remain available on gov websites, but coffee has threats here, too.
((waves furiously))
Please take care of yourself!
