Still plugging away at Midafternoon Nature walk (was on vacation for part of the week so didn’t work on it as much)!

That’s not even counting the time the pro-life group at my university drew hearts all over the campus to represent aborted fetuses and then also drew hangers by them and tried to blame those on the Planned Parenthood group on campus.

In response to “propaganda Thursday” at my school (mostly just a person posting anti-Bush memes) some guys decided to start “misogyny Monday” which was mostly just “women get back in the kitchen” or “make me a sandwich” memes.

As a fellow Italian-American against Columbus, it is also my sworn duty to post this reminder

Scene from “The Good Place.” Janet, speaking to Chidi, says “Fun fact: Columbus is in the Bad Place because of all the raping, slave trade, and genocide.” Michael looks ok in the back, making an “oooooff” expression

Trump's call to split up the MMR childhood vaccine revives long-settled debate

President Trump's suggestion that the combination measles, mumps and rubella vaccine should be separated marks a sharp break from decades of immunization practice.

The only reason Bluesky exists in the form it does today is through the efforts of an entire community of trans shitposters. They are the bedrock foundation of this place and Bluesky needs to acknowledge that and take special measures to protect them. This is the very least Bluesky owes trans folks.

Imani Gandy Corn 🎃 @angryblacklady.blacksky.app · Dec 9

Which is why Bluesky needs to yeet Jesse Singal out of here. And to yeet JKR on sight when she brings her hate brigade over here. It should be non-negotiable.

Casey Explosion @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · Dec 9

It's extremely hard to convey to the average cis person just how bad the harassment of trans people on social media has gotten and how aggressively we're targeted, because if you've not been on the receiving end of it for years, you can't really grasp how relentless it is, and how isolating it is.

Your annual reminder about foods colored with charcoal!

Lacrima Mundi - Indie Book Reviews [requests closed][hiatus] 📚✍ @lacrimamundi.bsky.social · 14d

Important PSA!

Charcoal is a natural absorbent. Unfortunately it's quite liberal when it comes to WHAT it absorbs, meaning: it absorbs ANYTHING that goes into your stomach and gut.

That includes all the active substances from ANY kind of medication you take (incl. contraceptives, vitamins et al).

Voirey Linger @voireylinger.bsky.social · 14d

Friends, Spooky season is upon us.

Remember... foods dyed black with charcoal can interfere with medications. Don't eat them if you have an Rx

Shameful from Pink News here. The threat in question is a month old social media post that they’re spuriously linking to current negotiations. This sort of cheap and misleading fearmongering from the queer press is doing Trump’s work for him.

Trump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned

The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

So weirdly they fall into two camps, one is the more consumerist side of buying things to remind you of the 90s and the other is just revisionist vibes that don’t have the consumerist bent

But as it turns out, investigators have now found Cs-137 contaminated spices, specifically cloves also from Indonesia. These wereInterestingly, the spice manufacturing facility is about 500 miles away from the shrimp processing plant. So, again, what is going on?

Continuing the saga of "radioactive shrimp" from Indonesia, the FDA this week posted a summary of all recalls so far flagged for Cs-137 contamination. It includes not only frozen shrimp but cocktail shrimp and shrimp skewers. 1/2
