at the airport awaiting my flight to norway. I packed for 10 days with just a wheelie carryon and a backpack. will I be warm enough? will I see the northern lights? will I get injured by snow, an arctic animal of some kind, slipping on ice due to my own clumsiness? stay tuned!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you are on this earth for a reason. It may be you are someone’s best friend, it may be you are the caretaker to a hurt animal, it may be you smiled to someone on the bus & so they made it through the day. But you are needed. Thank you for existing.

while talking about trump, my 95-year-old nonna—whose family was targeted by mussolini and his goons because they owned a store and fed people during WW2 in italy—tells me, “I didn’t vote for him. my conscience is clear.” nonna knows (and hates) a fascist when she sees one. be like nonna

Porsha's death was preventable, according to more than a dozen doctors who reviewed her case for @propublica.org.

It was clear she needed an emergency D&C, the experts said. The obstetrician on duty would only give her misoprostol but she continued bleeding.

Hours later, her heart stopped.

Thirty-five-year-old Porsha Ngumezi’s case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

Dr. Oz had to pay $5.25 million to settle a class action suit for promoting phony weight loss cures.

He is a conman. No wonder Trump likes him.

You don’t bury an ethics report that would exonerate Trump’s pick.

You don’t skip FBI background checks unless his nominees have something to hide.

See what they’re doing? Please tell me you see what they’re doing.

I am loving this app and the people on it. I’m more of a reskeeter than an original poster but going to work on that to (hopefully) be a more worthwhile follow 🤗

If you’re “strongly discouraging” the release of an ethics report, you’re on the wrong side of history.

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark."

That's how horrifying Twitter is right now.

There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
