Putting aside what I want to say about Mitch McConnell falling over, please remember for older people who you care about, the first priority should NOT be getting them back on their feet. Injury assessment including for orientation to their surroundings FIRST before moving them.

What are the consequences for you and your family when you get fired?

A general strike requires strong unions and VERY high levels of solidarity. The U.S. doesn't have that...and also, the larger your country, the harder it is.

Akinator, the mind reading genie

Akinator can read your mind and tell you what character you are thinking of, as if by magic. Think of a real or fictional character, answer few questions, and Akinator will try to guess who it is. Wil...

I removed a repost bc I overlooked the word, but Jesus, there has never been and will never be any kind of white slang with the depth, complexity, snd simplicity of “***-nog.” So damn brilliant.

Also since I like to complain, here's the opposite: some national media outlets are doing great Propublica (which would be doing even better if it wasn't fighting against workers rights) and Wired and Rolling Stone have all been doing good work in hard times

New Braunfels Independent School District (TX) has just banned middle and high school students from using their school libraries. Why? So officials can go through the library and remove any books they deem inappropriate, per the state's SB 13 law.

The venue where I work is currently running a production platforming a vocal transphobe/Islamophobe. As such, as a trans person I no longer feel comfortable or frankly safe in my workplace.

I do not want to return to work until this run is over. Any donations will compensate for lost wages.

Just got a call from a lovely but very nervous Dr, who advised I wouldn't be routinely screened for breast cancer because I'm not indicated as being "biologically female" on the central NHS database and my biology wouldn't indicate I'm at risk.

My records have been altered, which is upsetting.
