Season 2 Bridgerton is so funny with Edwina pushing Anthony and Kate together like my two favorite people must adore each other or I’ll never be happy and then she’s completely caught back footed when they actually adore each other.

So one of the really fun things about dating my partner is that he doesn’t take my hesitance to do something as unwillingness, but as willingness in need of support. Which is how I went on a poker run on Saturday, on my own bike, and finished the ride without needing rescuing.

Highly recommend these. I’m rereading Deep Wizardry right now and it’s exceeding the expectations my nostalgia set for it.

I got brake checked by my car in traffic this morning because someone on the exit ramp, fully out of my lane, slowed down (as they should). Fuck modern "safety" features. I've been put into a full skid on ice because the car decided brakes were appropriate.

I don't even think drivers are that much worse. There's just so much the car is doing that isn't safe in the name of safety that you can't turn off. The most reliable drivers have older cars that aren't pulling this shit.

Doing something new, somewhere I’ve never been. Naturally my brain is just yelling “NERVOUS” at me on repeat. I have no backup because my friends are busy and I promised someone else I would show up, but I don’t know this person enough for them to be default safe.

My pedo cousin got murdered and there are people in my family who won't speak to me because I refused to suppress my joy and relief even a little. And if I'll celebrate reprehensible family members dying, you bet your ass that I'll celebrate when a reprehensible colleague dies, even if I lose my job

My hot take is that Lindsey Graham did many contemptible things but if you’re furious that his Senate Democratic colleagues are posting nice things about him today you need to put down your phone, get some fresh air, and remember a time when a colleague you disliked departed this mortal coil.

You can only do so much against a system designed to harm certain people. Medical misogyny sucks and is much worse for Black women and it’s never the patient’s fault. Frequently, I’d even say it’s mostly not the doctor’s fault because medical school still teaches the gaps. It’s a designed harm.

I’ve had exactly this conversation, out loud with my mother. Being disabled, queer, and child free made for some soul crushing, mother centering, conversations.

No I’m pretty sure many parents are just normal about it instead of whatever this is

Pride month as a trans man is going to a public flag raising ceremony and almost getting sat on by the local state representative who proceeds to just not care. (Twice because I refused to find a different seat after the first time.) I really need to get louder when people are in my space.

Something I’m likely to start and unlikely to finish. Witcher 3 or Assassin’s Creed. A game I should like and just don’t.

This whiplash where the president terrifies the world for a few days with unhinged threats and then says “never mind” and then there’s this implication that anyone scared of his unhinged threats was overreacting is very domestic abuse but make it a country.

Note that while the regular age has been increased (from 35 to 42) you could already get a waiver up to age 42 if you were very fit or had specialized knowledge.

Those in their late 30s and early 40s can now join the U.S. Army. #Flashes

We're making a game where you play a courier rider in 13th century Mongolia No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness. Would you play this?

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

🚨🚨NEW POLL ALERT🚨🚨 Mike Rounds is vulnerable and he knows it. That is why he is already up on television. Join my campaign and let’s tip the scales in favor of everyday people, not special interests, and give South Dakota a new voice in Washington this November.

This thread. I had some really thin times when I was in college and trying to live on $10/week in groceries. This was 1998 or so, not as little as it sounds like now. It was doable on a technical level but it sucked so hard.

Here’s my my pitch for why you care about your state attorney general. The entire conservative judicial machine *depends* on conservative state attorney generals. John Roberts can’t take a case asking to destroy voting rights if a state attorney generals doesn’t bring it.

I’ll believe that covid deaths are down when the entire medical apparatus is actively screening for it the way they do flu. Not now, when entire states are running a covid denial platform and refusing to test at all.

Maybe unpopular take but I think "during COVID" is fine! Death data show a clear acute phase from spring 2020 until spring 2022. Since then deaths have steadily trended downward and this winter fell below flu deaths. You can take COVID seriously and still talk about the worst of it in the past tense
