Hello new friends! If you came here for dog pics, you will not be disappointed! If you came here for slightly unhinged shitposting about the state of our society, you will also not be disappointed! Here’s a bit of both:

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

As an extremely petty bitch I love this thread and also cannot even begin to narrow down my own list of many, many dumb things I’m still mad about years later

John Moe @johnmoe.bsky.social · 18h

What meaningless thing/experience are you still mad about? Like it should not matter at all, DOES not matter at all. But you’re still MAD.

And how long has it been?

I bought some bagels at Hy-Vee four years ago. So bad. Too big. Hard. Bland. WORTHLESS.

I’m still FURIOUS.

Gave a talk this evening and naturally Vivi made an appearance

Now that the final 20 Israeli hostages are free, remember: those claiming violence “began on 10/7” want us to ignore that Israel was forced to free 2,000 Palestinians hostages—some 20 years w/o charge—& 8,000 remain.

If Hamas holding 20 is violence—& I agree it is—what is when Israel holds 8,000?🤔

Gazans aren’t asking for privilege just the chance to live with dignity.
To study, to work, to heal, to dream again.
That’s not asking for too much. That’s asking to be human.

I still remember my two elementary school best friends’ phone numbers, just go ahead and mummify me

bleary @bleary.off-the-records.com · 2d

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

I’m gonna be real with y’all for a minute: my whole heart dropped out of my chest. I *know* my body, I *know* that it was a valid question, I *know* I am not stupid, and I still doubted my entire existence for a minute. It’s taken me several hours to move from shame to anger.

Doctors, listen.

This whole thread (incl comments) is an EXCELLENT little insight into what people with endo go through, even after diagnosis!!!! Spoiler alert, it isn’t great!!!!!

👻madeline boOoOoOodent👻 @oldenoughtosay.com · 2d

a fun thing about achieving the holy grail of a surgical endo diagnosis is that you will still occasionally come across doctors who call you stupid for asking if a mysterious abdominal pain might possibly be related to endo
