Well, then Jeffries should not expect Democrats to pursue his or any other sitting Democrat’s re-election. Primary them ALL.

If you won’t impeach over murder, you‘re endorsing it. Aid and abet.

WTF is wrong with you, Jeffries? This is not keep the powder dry time, this is USE THE POWDER time.

Another enthusiastic vote for the Paprika recipe app! I’ve used it for more than a decade and love it! It’s also super easy to add recipes from online sources! Go for the sale!
Heads-up, my favourite recipe manager app, Paprika, is on sale right now. 40% off the mobile apps, 50% off the desktop apps. They offer a sync service across devices, but you pay upfront for the app(s), not for a sub for the service (it's free)! They make it really easy to get your data in and out!

Buying a new book incentivises the production of more books just like it. I don't know how to put this more clearly.
Authors: we're broke don't steal from us, please.

Some person on the internet: this person is an idea landlord. I've uploaded every book they ever wrote over years to a streaming site because fuck them.

We're tired.
And idea landlord was a lift from Twitter. Literally aimed at us to shame us.

Since this year of all years I think skipping the big stores and shopping small businesses is a great thing, I asked my discord community to give me links to their shops!

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

I think we should be a LOT louder about the people who are the loudest anti-trans crusaders being the same people protecting a ring of ACTUAL child predators. Like, very super loud so your bananapants aunt starts to feel like you maybe think SHE’S a child predator if she doesn’t knock it tf off
An incident in a locker room has always been key to Riley Gaines’ anti-trans fame.

But @msjpauly.bsky.social spoke to swimmers who were present at the same 2022 meet. They shared a very different narrative.
How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

Hey I just want to remind everyone that even if vaccines did cause autism (they don’t), they also cause ALIVE CHILDREN, and if you don’t think an alive autistic child is something to celebrate, please fuck off into the sun forever
The U.S. government is now inarguably spreading medical disinformation that is going to kill babies preferentially.

Period.

This is an INTOLERABLE. UNPRECEDENTED. DANGEROUS. ATTACK. ON ALL OF US.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

If you’ve got a Senate Democrat who is not calling for new leadership, they’re part of the problem.

We should no longer trust Senate Dems who decline to come out against the leadership that led us here. Until proven otherwise, we should assume they were in on the game to fool their own supporters.

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.

We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

Handwashing. In 2025.

Allow me to big up Ignaz Semmelweis.

Managed to reduce maternal mortality from 18.27% to 1.27% by making obstetric workers WASH THEIR HANDS. In one hospital, it was 0.85%. In 6 months of 1848 no woman died under his care.

It didn't end well for Ignaz.

Most local parties are run by people who've done the job for years because no one stepped up. So step up.

Be authentically you. Speak to your community.

There is a MASSIVE leadership vacuum at the local level almost everywhere outside major cities. Fill it.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

I am not one of those people that thinks they are all evil, though I do think too many of them are selfishly clinging to a system that rewarded them with power and security.

But I think they are terminally incapable of understanding the lives & mood of their base & that is disqualifying.

yep we'll spare whoever deposes Schumer
The test is a Schumer leadership vote in my opinion

Even if he didn't support this cave, which is maybe possible but I honestly can't know, he failed in his job of preventing the cave. So time for new leadership and see who votes no.

But...yeah this shit sucks and sucks hard
