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:

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 · 17h

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 · 20h

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

“Endo is in your PELVIS” bitch I wish that’s the only place it was

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

Oh wow could’ve sworn I blocked her ass after the last colossally bad take!! No time like the present I guess 😂

You shouldn’t not be scared 😂

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
