"[B]irth control has been in conservatives’ crosshairs for years. And while Trump’s administration will undoubtedly attack it, he’ll likely have additional help from his appointees to the Supreme Court."
The Supreme Court Could Gut Access to Birth Control This Year
Opinion | With Trump back in the Oval Office, access to contraception is, sadly, not something that people can bank on anymore.

Opinion | The World’s Richest Men Take On the World’s Poorest Children
I’ve seen U.S.A.I.D. operate around the world, and it’s not woke — it’s lifesaving.

Has anyone actually read the complete list of people Trump already pardoned & their crimes? I have. Every damn one of them. GTFOH w/your both sideisms & false moral equivalencies. People are sick of that old BS. I’m so tired of our hand-wringing weakness & refuse to participate.

My cat can only eat “Sensitive Skin & Stomach” by Purina One or he barfs everywhere. I sent my man to the grocery store tonight for the same blue bag catto has eaten for 8 yrs & he brought back a similar looking blue bag of Iams. I have a new rug. 😫 Happy Thanksgiving, this will be interesting. 🙄😳😑

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero.

I have to be up very early tomorrow and should have gone to bed an hour ago, but am instead going to bed at midnight because my cat was playing Cat Games on my phone and I didn’t have the heart to tell him screen time was over for the night. Finally- Goodnight, Blue Sky.

One of the biggest challenges of being neurodivergent, is the resistance & existential dread my entire being feels, about doing all the things essential for my survival in a capitalist society. Work, grocery shopping, socializing: all are exhausting. I just want to exist & dream, create & write.

Americas back started aching around 2016. Now it’s her heart that’s breaking. 😢
You know how in your forties or fifties everything in and about your body just starts becoming a bit crappy and you know it's not going to get better in your lifetime? That's what happened to America starting in 2015—we may have hit the point at which the generation that'll fix this isn't alive yet.

Spatchcocking the bird is strictly forbidden in the Butterball Turkey employee handbook, and lineworkers are advised in orientation NOT to spatchcock the birds. So don’t encourage them.
Pro tip: If you are cooking for Thanksgiving, spatchcock your turkey for a bird that is crispy, juicy, and slightly suggestive (this is from last year)

My Apple Watch keeps congratulating me on reaching my “Stand” goal for today, but I’m literally rotting on the couch. Any suggestions on tweaking my settings to be more accurate?

Starting a new social is always so lonely at first, while trying to find connections and community. Hoping to grow here! 🦋💕💙
