Just realized that the whole time I was at the dentist no one mentioned or asked me about flossing!

Today I learned that the monster from “Love and Monsters” (Dr. Who episode) was designed by a 9 year old in a competition, and that makes so much sense.

I appreciate that Contrapoint’s penultimate video ended with “Harry Potter is dead to me. I’m switching to Twilight” and her new video begins with “So I’ve been reading the Twilight saga…”

Can someone please translate Barbaras Rhabarberbar to Yiddish so I can justify introducing it at Shul?

I’ve had Skyrim on my switch since the day it released, but I’ve never played it. Well, today’s the day!

There’s nothing quite like lying with your legs open air drying and suddenly realizing you never set your hour long timer and you have no idea how long it’s been. #grsrecovery

Here we have a 53-year-old woman who is so consumed with hatred for her trans kid that she pretends to be nonbinary to show the world how quickly you can get hormones and surgery.

It takes 10 months just to get a referral.

I Pretended To Be ‘Nonbinary’ To Expose a Medical Scandal at Kaiser Permanente
Kaiser gender specialists were eager to approve hormones and surgeries, which would all be covered by insurance as “medically necessary.”

The right's opposition to IVF is confounding for anyone who believed they ever cared about life or babies. But IVF not only helps queer couples start families--it also allows cis women to wait longer before having children. Banning IVF is about forcing them to have children earlier.

Almost done the stint of my recovery at my parents’ farm. I’m going to miss walking through the fields (and so is my dog!)

I will never let it be forgotten that the largest newspaper in the country published a 4,500-word essay comparing trans youth like Nex Benedict to a contagion. www.motherjones.com/media/2024/0...
Anti-trans bills keep citing the New York Times
“By any objective measure, the paper seems clearly devoted to advocating against this care.”

I recently made a comic complaining that NASA refuses to listen to my good ideas for improving the Solar System (xkcd.com/2750).

To my delight, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate has sent me an actual expert panel evaluation of my “flatten the planets” proposal! Sadly, they decided not to fund it.

Jews in KY are challenging that abortion ban bc the state is limiting their ability to dispose of their IVF embryos as they see fit, viz Jewish law’s POV on when life begins.

God willing that will end favorably and set a religious freedom precedent.

Because fuck this shit.
