"I grant you one wish," the magic fish said.
"To eat my mother's pancakes again, just like when I was a child."
"Are you sure?"
"You think it frivolous?"
"No. But to grant it I must send you back to the child you were, with no adult memories."
"Would my life change?"
"You ask that every time."
They complain about disabled people not working all while making it nearly impossible for disabled people to work or find employment.
An image that says "The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance not as a moral standard, but as a social contract. If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it. In other words: the intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance. Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should not be tolerated.
Had cause to bust this out yesterday, and figure it can't hurt to share it again more widely.
yes you fucking morons free preschool for everyone or it becomes just "free preschool for the poors" and then you call them leeches and ask for tax breaks when really we want free preschool for everyone because we want smart well adjusted kids why is this so hard?

Ah, gotcha. Your skeet read like you *were* doing those things and would only stop if you didn't get an updated vaccine.
Glad to encounter another masker!
Unfortunately, I'm a long way from my final years, plus I have a kid. It's not what I wanted for me or for them.
Sound ON, so you can hear how *stoked* the pilot is.
Call. Your. Senators.
They just killed off the forest service.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled last week that it’s unconstitutional to automatically sentence someone to life in prison without the possibility for parole for a killing they didn’t participate in or personally commit.
I haven't been able to do any of those things without wearing an N95 mask (and the eating in restaurants and karaoke not at all) for the last six years, so this won't be a big change for me.
These vaccines haven't been much good at stopping transmission since Omicron.
FUCK.
I mean, if I had known, I would have enrolled! There isn't enough goddamn advertising of these things!

It’s literally all I want. Twenty-two episode seasons that return on a reliable yearly schedule and run for 5+ seasons. We used to be a country.

I have been losing it at this post from the Dems on instagram.
I’ve heard it said
that it takes around 17 years
in order for health findings
to truly impact
mainstream practices,
which I suppose means
we’re just another 10 years away
from people realizing
they should really try to avoid
catching Covid repeatedly.
This is #LongCovidAwarenessMonth btw. And yes even vacinated kids get long covid. Vaccinated people of all ages are far less likely to die or be hospitalized from acute covid but anyone can get long covid. Even previously healthy kids.
This article doesn’t mention long covid. Long covid has surpassed asthma as the most common chronic illness in children.
A thread ...
Utterly depressing.
It is understandable
if on this occasion
(six years
since the WHO
declared Covid
a pandemic)
you find yourself
reflecting on
all you lost
in this pandemic,
but do not forget
the 7.1 million reported
(the 18.2-33.5 million estimated)
who lost all
in this pandemic.
Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didn’t applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldn’t now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.
There's a tendon that runs along the base of a cat's foot, just between the toe beans, the 'digital flexor tendon'. Contracting it causes the claws to extend, but notice that the motion isn't "forward", it's "rotational".
Let's look at the remarkable claws of the cat!
Yeah, my local county one is smallish, but living in PA lets me join the Philadelphia Free Library, which has a lot more.
Not gonna lie, I would shop that sale. I'm still peeved they closed the closest thrift-by-the-pound location, because I got some deeply astonishing stuff there.
Gotcha. I mostly can't cope with audiobooks, so I don't have a good sense of how many Libby has.
Iranian hackers threatening to hack into the top 3 credit bureaus and wiping Americans debt… and I just wanna know who I gotta speak to in order to expedite this.
That sucks.
Can you use the Libby app to connect with your library for the audiobooks?
holy shit
Last summer (or was it the one before) Mr Vesey and I canned tomato soup. Tonight we cracked one open, heated it up, and added a bit of cream. I added avocado to mine, then added some greens powder I made last summer from dehydrated leafy greens.
It's delightful and extra nutritious!

Our species is insane.
