I need a dresser.

My closet and linen shelves aren’t really cutting it anymore, as I rebuild a wardrobe.

But this is the goal, next year:

Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force.

(Also, I just learned one reason the FDA rejected it at first was that they said the name Plan B was too glib!)

Great obit—no paywall.

I normally do not link substack pieces, but this is Josef Mengele shit, happening and escalating in the States.

This person is correct in their video statement.
I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

This was Alessandra Korap Munduruku this morning. She lives in the Brazilian state where COP is taking place this year! She was not given a pass into the Blue Zone.

These are the voices you should be listening to, boosting, and celebrating. Not the politicians who are attending #COP30!

MRIs are gold standard for checking for strokes and “age related brain volume loss”

Which is the natural path for humans.

But should not have an already dangerous man leading the States.

This is what the 25th amendment should be utilized for.
President Donald Trump appeared to have little to no understanding of why he underwent an MRI scan during his medical checkup last month, telling reporters aboard Air Force One that he had “no idea” what they analyzed.

The president told reporters he had no idea what his doctors analyzed, but that the results were amazing.

Just an incalculable loss from which we won’t soon recover.

Alice was the best of us and I hope we all do (or keep doing) the kind of good work that burnishes her memory.

Fuck ableism. “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.”

I’ve been playing Warcraft Classic to ward off the winter barreling down on this area, and touched into retail yesterday.

Holy hell did they ever just wreck the game and be like, “End Game, fucking get there as fast as you can, no need to interact with anyone. The Journey was the problem.”
