In the 1990s everyone was obsessed with gendering the Adam’s apple

If you ever find yourself tempted to make some comment about how Jews who survived the Holocaust were somehow smarter or better planners or anything other than lucky/wealthy/well-connected, I invite you to think about how ghoulish it would be to frame Gazan survivors in those terms and STFU.

"You're a big account, so you have a duty to ..."

Look, at some level, I get that.

But also ... I didn't run for the office of Big Account with a promise to you, the Bluesky voter, to deliver on certain issues.

I just logged onto the same site you did, made some posts, and people followed me.

Every time I finish an episode of I Love LA, HBO is like “so… Girls?” And on the one hand I obviously understand the similarities but on the other hand it feels a little forced

Is it worth watching the latest season of Stranger Things or would I derive more pleasure from stabbing myself in the face repeatedly with a dull knife?

It's just so awesome that Piers Morgan gives a softer interview to an actual Nazi than to literally any Arab lol

Also, "performing abortions" is really just "emptying the contents of the uterus," which is a skill medical providers need to have independent of abortion!
This change would be disastrous. If you are taking care of pregnant women you need to know how to perform abortions even if you don't intend to perform them routinely. I have heard horror stories of doctors who have not been trained absolutely butchering women who have needed them in emergencies.
Ob-gyn residency programs are required to offer abortion training, and people can choose to opt out.

Anti-abortion advocates are pushing a seemingly small but consequential change: to make the training opt-IN. Jody Steinauer explains how "it’s really hard to go out of your way to get trained."

A seemingly small change could have big implications in the number of physicians qualified to perform abortions.

People are asking me to make plans for January/February and my brain is like "am I even going to exist then"

Relatedly, every December my building management puts a Christmas tree in the lobby which I do *not* like, but I would feel even weirder if they tossed in a menorah TBH
I get why people do the whole “put a menorah next to the Christmas tree” thing but it is also kind of weird because like… I just think it misunderstands what Chanuka is

I have this image in my head of a woman with octopus tentacles instead of legs sitting so that you can see the underside of the tentacles and the beak is a vulva and anyway, not only does this sound like hentai but it's also really hard to draw

אני מקבלת כמה מיילים בעברית, וחושבת שהאהובים עליי הם אלה של נטפליקס. אני נהנית לקרוא על סרטים וסדרות בעברית, מופתעת לומר לכם שהם יותר כיפיים מהמיילים על שוקולד ממקס ברנר.

If you ever mention to someone that you feel overloaded by the number of emails on a listserv they will inevitably tell you to just switch to daily digest and I must speak my truth: daily digest is SO MUCH WORSE.

One of my dearest friends was Libertarian-identified when we met and went through a similar change. I think there are more than a few Libertarian (or libertarian) folks who are coming from a good place and just operating from an idealized vision of the world, FWIW.
Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

ME: I don’t want to date someone who grew up Christian because I don’t want to deal with the expectation of celebrating Christmas

ME: But if you date a Jewish girl she might have a Jewish practice that conflicts with yours

ME: … where are the single Muslim sapphics

Part of what I was trying to get at here is that when people discover sex/kink it is natural for them to go through a “GUESS WHAT GRANDPA, I HAVE SEX” phase, and while some people eventually do the stereotypical post-rebellion retreat into suburban conformity, there are also older freaks who just…
There’s that episode of 30 Rock where Jenna and her boyfriend decide that they’ve discovered this apex of kink called “normaling” and honestly, relatable
