I'm 100% supportive of discussing the hateful president feeling inadequate because a far more accomplished entertainer is the center of attention by posting your favorite Princess Bride clip.
“Wallowing in freakish misery forever.”
This is what a repulsive social media post by the emotionally defective President of the United States brought to mind.

I was able to get an RSV vaccine 2 years ago and it is LIFE CHANGING. I’ve only been seriously ill once since then, like I cannot stress enough how much of the winter miserableness is RSV, and kids are catching it ALL THE TIME. Not only should babies have access, EVERYONE should have access!!!!

Another enthusiastic vote for the Paprika recipe app! I’ve used it for more than a decade and love it! It’s also super easy to add recipes from online sources! Go for the sale!
Heads-up, my favourite recipe manager app, Paprika, is on sale right now. 40% off the mobile apps, 50% off the desktop apps. They offer a sync service across devices, but you pay upfront for the app(s), not for a sub for the service (it's free)! They make it really easy to get your data in and out!

Buying a new book incentivises the production of more books just like it. I don't know how to put this more clearly.
Authors: we're broke don't steal from us, please.
Some person on the internet: this person is an idea landlord. I've uploaded every book they ever wrote over years to a streaming site because fuck them.
We're tired.
And idea landlord was a lift from Twitter. Literally aimed at us to shame us.

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

An incident in a locker room has always been key to Riley Gaines’ anti-trans fame.
But @msjpauly.bsky.social spoke to swimmers who were present at the same 2022 meet. They shared a very different narrative.
