I can't believe I've now met two people who didn't eat or at least know what avocados looked like growing up, it's blowing my mind

Today I learned that my 34 year old partner has never seen an avocado before, because his parents never bought one and he never knew what they looked like. They asked if this was a date when I pulled it out of the bag 😂

A picture of Cinnix holding a firm avocado in their hand, standing in front of an open fridge. Various other food items are in the fridge.

Recently I entered perimenopause, or the intersex version of it anyway. When I got my labs they showed low estrogen and for the first time ever, low testosterone. My sex drive died completely over the last year. I'm on HRT now. Plus side, I have a sex drive again. Down side, I have a sex drive again

I have a Gen X colleague who only ever talks to me when she wants something, but she always starts the convo with small talk and fake niceties and it drives me fucking nuts. Just tell me what you want so we can both get back to work, I do not care about your ass kissing 😑

That's what happened with my dad too, except he was Portuguese. Same shit though, why fight for a country that hates you?

People think Operation Paperclip is where we went wrong and that not punishing the WW II Nazis is what led to the alt right and rise of Neo Nazis

But America inspired Hitler with Jim Crow laws. This country has always been a cesspool, it's just that *some* white people are finally noticing

My power bill keeps going up even though my usage is down and we have solar panels, and my local energy company can't tell me why. I know it's because I'm paying for the fucking AI data center in Liberty Lake

At the time they posted it no one was covering it, maybe actually give a shit about the victims?

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Why am I only learning about Typhoon Halong hitting Alaska from bluesky and not any major news outlet?

To no one's surprise, it's come out that the South Shore raid was performed in cooperation with the landlords, who wanted an excuse to evict everyone so they could sell the property, which will be developed into luxury apartments. Always follow the money.

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'

The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

All the videos we see of ICE/police/military assaulting people on camera are happening because they know they will face no consequences for their actions. They're breaking the law because they believe the law no longer applies to them. What kept them in check before was fear. Now they have none.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

I made panko encrusted chicken breasts with garlic and lemon and the first thing my partner said is that they couldn't wait to smother them in hot sauce 😭
