Give me recs: Protein bars and/or shakes that will just do the deed of feeding me when I’m in the depressive episode and can’t think to make myself something. Also that don’t taste like Splenda flavored chalk.

There’s an hour in the morning. Everyone is on their way to work or school and my work isn’t open yet and it’s too early so no one can really have any demands on me. No one will (for the most part) text/call me. And I think that’s the only time of the day/week/month/year/ever where I truly feel ok.

I buy a book the same way I buy a bottle of wine: do I like the little picture on the front, do I like the little blurb on the back, and does it look like it’ll &#% me up for $12

Every day is a new chance to pep talk myself OUT of using q tips in my ears.
And every day is a new failure on one end but total and utter satisfaction on the other.

Counterpoint: no, you do not have to stay on Twitter.
You’re not on Friendster anymore, right? Or MySpace? Google+?

Been thinking a lot lately about that episode of Parks and Rec where Leslie and Tom have to rebrand fluoride in the water as TDazzle in order to get the public to support it.

This is all what we need right now. Time to build and time to support and most of all, time to not give up.
As an Indian, as someone who lived in Egypt, and who has, modestly, remained committed to my politics despite that, here are my rules for living under fascist regimes:

I love seeing this mass exodus to Bluesky…and finding my Twitter tribe on here. Feels like going to a house party where you know literally everyone and the nachos and guac are endless.

Just to make this point to my followers: Trump can’t just make a department out of thin air. The Constitution clearly states that departments must be created by law, I.e., by Congress. The necessary and proper clause supplements Congress’s power here.
This “department” would be unconstitutional.

My plea to reporters is to not call it the Department of Government Efficiency. It is not a Department. It is almost certainly going to a Federal Advisory Committee, and it is very important that reporters accurately convey that Vivek and Elon are working on an advisory committee.

I’m a public librarian in a degenerating democracy, and I am pleading: Care about your library. Use it. See what programs and events it offers. And pay attention to its governing body. See who the trustees are. Consider running yourself. Libraries will need all the community support they can get. 📚

You know what gets me? Why am I not allowed to be mad. Why do I get to lash out and post memes about how I want to cut you off if you voted for him - and I get messages asking if i had a mental break, they’re worried about me, etc.
Would you ask that if a man posted those? DID you?

Good morning. I hate it here.
But people I love are here, and there are still children inside this burning house.
So today, they are my reason.
