And yet you voted to strip healthcare from trans and intersex people from thr NDAA. You aren’t a good person at your core, Senator.

Senator Angela Alsobrooks @alsobrooks.senate.gov · 5d

Republicans shut down the government because they don’t want people to be able to afford health care.

Now, they’re firing patriotic civil servants because what? They don’t want Americans to have jobs?!

This will hurt countless Americans who rely on government services.

Breaking news: The Trump administration began laying off federal workers while the government is shuttered, fulfilling threats from President Trump to take advantage of the closure to shave off more parts of the federal workforce he dislikes.

i hope nobody still accepts the bullshit "to appeal to more voters" framing. rich people are spending money to push the politics they favor, it has absolutely nothing to do with electability

Rock and Rule is so good. There's something to be said for movies that are lovably stupid, their only commitment to the rule of cool. Like, real craft and care put in to being cool but stupid. i love it so much <3

10 minute call with Visa and we went in circles, would give no specifics, pointed to the two month old statement on videogames. Asked why nobody wants to tell me if I can buy LOTR, eventually got hung up on. Melt their lines

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

I applied to be an assembly line worker, something doing the exact same thing and repetitive that I could get in a groove doing so I can save most of my mental energy for shit I really cared about at home, but nope, that fell through too.

Part of me wishes I could go back in time and force young me just to bite the bullet and take an interest in tech, law, or healthcare, you know the only careers society finds valuable enough to pay reasonably.

Your electricity bill is going up because data centers are raising demand, not because your utility started scaling out some renewables. Pass it on.

Bat grudgingly admits drinking water is helpful because they had a flawless blood drawl today. (Also still comfortably numbed with the EMLA cream, but not being chronically dehydrated actually works, who knew)

It makes me chuckle a little that our realtor is a year younger than me, and we all just interspersed our Very Important text conversations with emojis and smileys still.

Like Dad, I appreciate the confidence, but I am pretty much qualified for retail, food service, warehouse, or custodial.

Dad: “Oh, I don’t really think an assembly line would be right for you…You really should be teaching at an art school or something like that.”
Me: “….Ignoring the fact that I don’t have anything close to a Masters, there are no art schools in this county or the next one over. “

Enjoy!
