Anyone complaining about the health effects of “ultra-processed” foods who isn’t also concerned by global poverty, climate change, HIV, Tuberculosis, the abrupt ripping away of USAID funding: You’re not fooling anyone. Pack up your table and go home.

I love that the alcohol lobby (there’s an alcohol lobby?!) managed to sway Senators to support banning hemp but no existing lobby (health insurance, hospitals, churches) can even get the attention of same Senators to support Medicaid or SNAP to keep poor and disabled Americans safe, fed and healthy.

People! Please! You don’t actually need Google or a.i. You can call or go to a Library! Librarians know special languages to search for answers in all kinds of databases. And they don’t need a bunch of electricity or fresh water to do so. You might even make a friend!

The writing is stellar and the atmosphere is remarkably drawn. In the first 4 chapters the plot is more depressing than A Series of Unfortunate Events. That’s right, Lemony Snicket is uplifting compared to Booth, which I finally had to quit bc I just couldn’t take it. #booksky 💙📚

Could folks mispronouncing Mamdani actually be an indicator for their need of reading intervention? Having learned 2 other languages beginning in grade school …. SOUND IT OUT YALL!

If you are a person using the word “kiddo” with a straight face- please stop. When I was one, back in the Reagan administration, it was clear to me it was patronizing. Now, many decades later, it’s like saying ‘Daddio.’ Find a better word. ‘Children’ or even ‘kids’ will suffice. 🤦🏻♀️😎🤩🤣

NPR using their top of the hour news to plug the Capitalist favorite DST- contradicting research indicating that Standard Time (“fall back”) is best for everyone is just… unbelievable? No, predictable at this point. Tsk tsk I am so tired of watching my favorite institutions just roll over.
