You're not going to see a lot of political posts from me because I've seen this shitshow and I know my posts aren't going to move the needle.
Know that I support LGBTQ and BLM and I call out bigotry where it counts - in person and I've discarded many so called RL friends because of it.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.

My microwave is like Lucy when it comes to melting butter. No matter how little, or if I chop it up into little cubes, it almost always explodes and I end up redoing it on the stove.

Today, in Utah, homeowners *or renters* can simply buy a solar panel at Costco, take it home, and plug it in to a wall socket, like an appliance. It just sits there & trims about 15-20% off a residential power bill. If you move to another apt., you can take it with you.

Doctors and Dentist offices need to have a website like the airplanes to tell you the appt is delayed. It's so frustrating to make time out of your day and spend so much time waiting. I get it - things get busy, but they absolutely know they're running late.

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.
