Man.
The world fucking is on fire.
So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people.
Live whats left of your only life.
If you canβt be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul.
Fuck the haters.

EU policy might change someday. But today, someone in Europe is trying to figure out how to afford an abortion. A donation to S.A.F.E. will help cover:

Solidarity is lovely. But solidarity plus money buys abortions. π

i actually think "books should be difficult and somewhat painful to read and you are Bettering Yourself through Struggle" is a worse attitude for mass literacy than "I have specific preferences and like reading a lot of fun stories" tbh
Tweet from Paula Scanlan that reads, "the number of people I still see wearing face masks in the year 2026 is genuinely concerning" Tweet from Jerome Adams that reads, "Why do you care? Honestly asking. I thought the original mantra was βto each their own.β It sounds like youβre wanting to impose your priorities/belief systems on others while saying they shouldnβt impose theirs on you? What am I missing? Also, beyond Covid β many people have found wearing a mask, has lowered their allergy symptoms- and pollen counts are rising this time of year. And Asian cultures have worn masks for years β are you bothered by Asians? Again honestly asking. π€·π½ββοΈ"

Oh wow Indiana governor Mike Braun has banned child labor and now to take a big sip of coffee and finish reading this headline
Every time a woman runs for president I hear that sheβs too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

Black text on white background reading: Time, mystical time, cutting me open, then healing me fine.
All of this is just profoundly evil.
Hitting desalination plants is so bad. Not just evil but strategically incomprehensible. Without desalination 75% of the entire population of the Middle East will be refugees. Israel and Kuwait depend on desalination for 90% of their water and other Middle East states arenβt far behind.
President Lula of Brazil: βMy message to the US, Israel and Iran is simple: the world is tired of your conflicts. Diplomacy is not a sign of weakness; it is the highest expression of human intelligence. Those who die are not the ones signing the attack orders; those who die are the innocents.β

Hey Baton Rouge and New Orleans folks, I think weβre ready to start looking for a home for Patches. Heβs a sweet little guy, neutered, got his rabies and FeLV shots, and heβs a big fan of inside life. Heβs FIV+, but I think he can be integrated with FIV- cats with training and supervision.
I just bought Gorillaz tickets! I also bought a ticket for a dear friend so I have support, but they donβt have an income right now. Would anyone be willing to donate toward the $94 cost to help my friend out? Weβre both disabled and need each otherβs support πβ€οΈ

I just have this radical idea that we should make sure everyone can afford to eat and also that we shouldn't micromanage how folks spend their meager food benefits.
Nooooo UAB is on there too
