It's only Cancel Culture if it originates in the Cancelle region of France. Otherwise, it's just sparkling consequences.

It's time for the annual repost of the 🦃 country vs bird thread
Spoiler: turkey the bird is, in fact, named after Türkiye.
The answer has to do with another bird: The guinea fowl, native to eastern Africa, was imported to Europe through the Ottoman Empire. Istanbul sat on the silk road & became a critical meeting point for commerce between Asia & Europe.

Just sitting here watching the camera on Farrah's feeder to see when she'll actually eat.
The vet gave her 3 shots, so it's not surprising that she hasn't gotten out from under the covers but also, I just need her to eat before I freak out 🙃

Farrah hadn't eaten in a day, so I took her to the vet. Slight fever, signs of infection, but labs are clear of any signs of her cancer returning.
She is on antibiotics.
I am a wreck.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I just called them for the first time since moving into my new apartment. He congratulated me on the move, updated my address, and threw in some free gummy bears to my order.

Ppl w #LongCovid in nyc: avoid the Mt Sinai clinic in union square.
It is not connected to the one lead by David Putrino. The union square is run by a nurse who is pushing SSRIs as the only possible Covid treatment & if you don’t want them they refuse to offer anything else.
And they insult you.

OK - met with my new skip-level, who will be my direct manager until my manager is back from leave. She's intense but I get it and I can vibe with it.
Just have to survive working Pacific hours while in Istanbul for the first 2 weeks of December until I'm back in Seattle.
*sigh of relief*

Access to doula care can be the difference between life and death, especially for Black and brown mothers. That’s why New York City Council fought to provide free doula services in underserved neighborhoods across NYC.
Now, Trump’s Medicaid cuts threaten to strip mothers of this essential care.

We're a week away from Thanksgiving, which means Die Hard discourse season is around the corner.

an important message to the media: no matter how much you flatter and curry favor with this man, he would enjoy seeing you dismembered with a bone saw
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
