I always go into those conversations with the assumption that the customer service person has been dealing with shitty, difficult pissed-off people and I'm not going to be another one.
And it's not the goal but I have been thanked so many times for, essentially, not being an asshole.
We won’t rest til there’s a rotisserie chicken on every dinner table in America, paid for by Uncle Sam 🇺🇸🦅
BTW, this is one of the currently active, functioning, doing-good-science missions that the proposed budget would kill.
And just to be abundantly clear:
NASA AND SCIENCE IN GENERAL HAVE MASSIVE RETURN ON INVESTMENT.
Cutting this budget is a net financial LOSS in the medium- to long-term. It undermines our future -- intellectually, technologically, and economically.
It won't ge real till they give it an OTT name like megatopus
Also, even if that were true, that’s fucking monstrous? Are we not supposed to care when people who have other health problems die?
DC peeps: this Jorts Merch is closer to you than the beach is. Listen to this melodious cat! Adopt himb!
it is devastating to notice how few benches there are in the world and how some benches have been replaced by weird "leaning" things. the world is incredibly cruel to disabled, elderly, poor, pregnant, tired, homeless, and all people. there should be benches fucking everywhere for everyone
A four panel comic. In panel 1, there's an image of a closeup on the head of a yellow morph timber rattlesnake, with text above it that says "Behold the snake: Cunning, cruel, and bloodthirsty, it embodies evil and sin. Who knows what malevolent thoughts lurk in its mind?" In panel 2, the snake is zoomed out slightly, and a thought bubble rises above its head with three dots inside it. In panel 3, we're zoomed out more to see the whole snake curled up on a rock with a colorful background behind it, and there's a thought bubble rising from its head that says "Mmm warm sun." In panel 4, we're zoomed out even more, and the snake is sitting on a rock at the top of a hill with green grass and trees, a vibrant background of mountains and lakes behind it, and a bright blue sky with a golden cloud and birds flying. The snake is thinking "Nice day."
Behold the snake.

I totally did have the song playing while I picked Rogue up and danced around the room with her XD She likes being held/cuddled/wiggled like a boneless lil Muppet though 😅
Just A+ vibes overall, new fav. I might suggest it as a warm up song at dance class this week and repeat what you did re asking people to guess vibes XD
100% recommend asking your trans friends about hormones if you need to. I have asked for myself and others, especially people who need "hormones 101 in English not medic-ese".
I did some research for a (wo)man-out-of-time superhero character, and it is wild how many quintessentially *American* food elements are much, much newer than you'd think. McD didn't even serve fries when they first started.
everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"
Washington's ghost is staring into the distance and thinking about influenza and smallpox at Valley Forge.
The thing is you have a Secretary of Defense who quite literally does not think germs are real, he explicitly rejects germ theory
The question to ask isn't "why did pete do (x)," it's "why did roger wicker vote to confirm a guy who literally doesn't think germs are real"
youtu.be/Hic3jjoT_CU is the actual video, which is incredible
YES! I love that it's a black cat too, that song gives me vibes of my own void ^^ The art style is gorgeous and the song is a banger and it fits so well!
Also this. I literally cackled at the GOD DAMN frog.

Hey. Stop what you're doing and watch this. @frugit.bsky.social is amazing.

Sorry, I should clarify.
Instead of saying "homoeroticism," I should have just said "canonically gay."
I found some pretty fascinating incidents of Conan Doyle heirs and others trying to stop Sherlock and Watson from being a canonically gay couple.
Sorry for the vague earlier post! <3
As of 2023, Sherlock Holmes is finally in the public domain in the United States -- which means that Arthur Conan Doyle's heirs and random other rights-holders can no longer insist that the character be free of any trace of homoeroticism.

Anyone who doesn’t think men are nurturers has never seen @sonney.com with a baby animal.
Yeah, I’ve never quite got over the profound moral injury aspect of watching so many Americans absolutely refuse to even mildly sacrifice to help others during Covid - watching MAGAs somehow become even more evil was radicalizing.
And now the bastards are trying to destroy MRNA research.
Illustration of a California newt in a pond full of plants and bubbles. Text says “i’d rather have a pond full of newts…”
Doodle of a gross ai data center spewing out pollution. Text says “… Than an ai data center”
Fellow San Jose/South Bay residents, ai data centers are coming for us, but we still have a chance to stop them!
Ilovesanjose.org has a petition and a prewritten email to send to the city council. Let’s stop them before they build anything.
This quote is literal nightmare fuel. I may splurge and get some copies of @seananmcguire.bsky.social's Kingdom of Needle and Bone, where the first part *did* cause me nightmares.
