Yelp review of the vet hospital by one of my canine patients today:
“3/5 stars. I died twice here but they did bring me back to life and give me head scratches and my favorite wet food, so it was a mixed bag.”

I see the results of this in many of my fellow students, who are ~8 years younger than me. They struggle tremendously to sound out unfamiliar words & may substitute similar words because the first letters are the same.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.
All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Schumer said the Dems will "keep fighting". Keep fighting their own voters? Keep fighting off effectiveness? Keep fighting being held accountable for anything? As far as I can tell the Democratic leadership is good at one thing only now, which is sending fundraising messages to my phone.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?
Federal workers aren’t furloughed.
Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.
Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.
It puts the politicians jobs on the line.
They get the budget passed.

It’s a shame I’ve had so little time to ride Alecto recently. She’s extremely rusty under saddle, and it shows. She was a menace today, but at least a pretty menace.

For most of my political life, Republicans have refused to treat me and the people I love as fellow citizens, while coyly (and increasingly openly!) fantasizing about hurting or killing us. I've seen liberals exhibit a frankly astonishing degree of patience with this. That patience is running out.

I don’t know how people see the blocklists they’re on in here and I also presume I’m not really on any of them, or if I am, it’s inconsequential. Idc about that.
