ADHD is fun because I can remember poems I memorized when I was 8 but I can't remember that I left something boiling on the stove 10 minutes ago. Edgar Allen Poe 1, singed pot 0.

Light 'em up, folks. According to my car Obama is still president, we have a functioning CDC, the major provisions of the ACA just came into effect, and "Make America Great Again" is a relic of the 80s.

It's fun how some people think that since I'm not a teacher or a parent that I don't get to have an opinion about how children are treated. Bitch, I WAS a child. I had parents. I went to public schools. I live with the fallout of both every goddamn day.

Being a corporate paralegal right now feels like being the only person in the library that cares about things being in alphabetical order.

I'll say this to my deathbed. Be angry at the people that voted for Trump and his fascist promises. Don't spend a moment being angry for the people that voted for their hopes and dreams... universal healthcare, and end to the war in Gaza, streets safe from cops.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.
* very unconstitutional

I think Galaxy Quest, Iron Man 2, Moon, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and all other Sam Rockwell movies are all part of the same universe. Each role actually represents a step in the evolution of the character that is Sam Rockwell, ultimately crystallizing into Zaphod Beeblebrox.

Recently BetterHelp's ads have started on 2 new tactics: 1) "Did you know you can start therapy the SECOND you feel a little bit off?" and 2) "Sometimes once a week just isn't enough!" Gosh, could it have to do with their revenue tanking last year? www.healthcaredive.com/news/teladoc...
Teladoc posts $1B loss in 2024 as BetterHelp lags
The direct-to-consumer mental health segment’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization was down 43% last year from 2023.

The right has been planning the dismantling of the New Deal since its inception. They played the long game and they are succeeding. Everyone who warned about this for the last 50 years was treated like the boy who cried wolf.
It took the entirety of the 20th century to build what they're already destroying.
I think this is what is most enraging about the damage they're doing not just to US alliances & partnerships, but to the federal govt, science & universities.
They are vandalizing, defacing and destroying public goods that were the product of collective effort and sacrifice & belong to all of us.
