Sushi reviews his favorite spots around our neighborhood
Yes, this is a piece that I wrote in-character as my dog, Sushi. Some good (albeit unrelated) news: I was a guest on comedian Laura Lyons’ amazing podcast...

For fuck’s sake. I’m not surprised that the Dems folded like a card table but ugggggggggh.
Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

I just called and left an I-am-barely-managing-to-contain-my-rage (but still polite) message for our buddy Chuck 🫠
Can you call Chuck Schumer right now? No matter where you live, can you take a few minutes and tell Schumer that if Senate Democrats cave you will not support Senate Dems as long as he is leader?

I had one of those not-quite-awake dreams this morning where there was an alternate universe version of the movie Hocus Pocus called Locust Pocus. It featured the three Sanderson sisters as witch-bug hybrids.

We are delighted to post the first Bitch Media reprint on The Flytrap! In a piece originally published in March 2020, @annaham.bsky.social delved into Reddit’s r/Illnessfakers community, that purports to expose con artists, but really exposes the politics of disbelief.

Dick Cheney was a horrible person. If you don’t want people to celebrate your death, maybe avoid being a huge piece of shit while you’re alive.

In addition to its politics coverage generally, Teen Vogue was one of the few mainstream outlets that had incredible coverage of disability issues written by actual disabled writers.
Not sure what’s left on that front now. Maybe just @19thnews.org and @motherjones.com?

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

*thousand-yard stare in chronic pain* as Faine correctly points out, not everyone can do manual labor! Manual labor can result in lifelong chronic pain, or aggravate already-existing chronic pain 🫠 Anyway, fuck AI
“Humans can just go get manual labor jobs if desk jobs are repaired with AI” is both not going to suffice to provide enough jobs and is also going to result in massive societal anger because manual labor jobs often *are terrible*, which is why people have worked hard to avoid them for generations.
Even if society provided the food/shelter level needs for everyone, humans also need to perform useful work just for basic fulfillment. The vast majority of people cannot sit around all day letting AI and robots do everything.
(The definition of “useful work” here is malleable but still essential)

Update, Chelsea and Greenwich adopted!A group of Yorkies saves from a breeding and hoarding situation in which there were over 50 Yorkies in one house! Many rescues came together to get these dogs out and help them with a fresh start on life as beloved pets. Even though there were a LOT of dogs in the house it is clear they got attention because they are friendly and seeking affection!They are ready to meet their new loving families - they can be adopted in pairs or singly, hopefully with another dog in the home!Look up their bios and applications on our website, www.milofoundation.org#yorkie #yorkiesofinstagram #yorkilovers #adoptfosterrescue #adoptdontshop #foster #hoardingsituationsurvivors

Family size around the world is dropping. That choice by couples is triggering a population shift that's sending shock waves through economies.
