I can't count the number of times my wife has emailed a list of things she needs to her sales people only for them to have possibly read the subject and call or reply asking about things that would have been answered by reading. I don't tend to have that problem but I see it too much for sure.

Silly you expecting people to:
1. Read
2. Understand
3. Care

Very unreasonable of you to

I don't know if my parents got me the vaccine for measles. So, I went and got it last week. I recommend you do too if you aren't sure 💜

I guess it's a blanket dismissal

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

Made it to Friday but at what cost

So the thing about being trans is you go from barely existing to loving life and then everyone who isn’t trans wants us to be quiet and polite at best while we’re exploding with the first real joy we’ve ever experienced

So

Anyone who thinks we need to be civil and quiet can fuck all the way off

Picked this up about 6 months ago to replace a similar model that was ~8-9 years old. Not quite your $150 mark, but it was 150 last week and I think it goes on sale relatively often as I picked mine up at 150.

And here I am wondering...

JWST continues to kill it

Probably be differently annoying, but would be nice to some degree to have a ‘person would like to add you to starter pack, described as this, to you approve?’ And include a setting that is ‘allow to be added to starter packs’. I’m sure minds better than mine have reasons why not, but, maybe?

The only thing wrong with Iran is a bunch of religious assholes control everything

A bunch of religious American assholes are going to fix that

Thoughts & prayers to the EPA :(

Too bad many ‘coders’ also think that LLMs think and/or do things right the first time, every time.

I report every bit of that as spam and absolutely will have a hard time donating again with anything associated with my (actual) phone number.

Definitely exceptions, but yeah, 6+ hours is nuts. Good luck to you in them realizing that it's time to leave.

NGL, I'm probably OK with NOT having any of the people he would have picked to succeed survive, given his record on competent decision making.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

You will never regret the post you didn't post.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed

So, do we need a petition or something to get history to call this the Nobel Peace War (or Nobel Peace Combat Operations)?

Block was a really great place to work for the past four months. Unfortunately, I’m part of today’s 40% layoff.

If you need an old hand at web stuff, who has staff software engineering experience at multiple international corporations, hit me up. ❤️

I know you're not US, but a little trans Trek would be some great support for the many places in the US being particularly stupid right now

I'm not here to preach but I will just remind you that Trump doesn't lie to be believed. He lies to be repeated. So you don't have to help him.

Perhaps you can sell tickets to this fight and donate all proceeds to the paying off of this ghostly ticket

Let's see if we can raise $10,000 today for red state or national queer orgs. Post proof here in the replies that you donated to a red state or national queer organization and I will share.

Who's with me?

(I can't donate myself because I'm a journalist who covers these orgs)

Honestly if you were already thinking about it there may be enough reasons to go ahead and do it anyway. Given things like what's happening in Kansas it wouldn't shock me to see something attempted to be forced on an expedited basis causing problems if you weren't prepared.
