Indianapolis, but not Indiana. Never a hoosier. Ever.
I like to partake in sim-racing and pickleball and other worthwhile endeavors that I'm honestly not very good at doing.

Zero vaccines are “injected directly into the bloodstream”
Approved vaccines are:
• Intramuscular
• Subcutaneous
• Intradermal
• Oral
• Intranasal
No approved vaccines are administered intravenously.
Hope that helps 🙃

there is no legitimate definition of the term "democracy" under which maps like these are "democratic." this level of stovepiping is banana republic shit. this is effectively no different from stuffing a ballot box
Indiana Republicans have unveiled their proposal to re-gerrymander the congressional map & expand their current 7-2 majority to 9-0.
The Dem-held 1st would flip to Trump+12 & the 7th to Trump+19. All 7 GOP seats would be at least Trump+18.

The billionaires who own much of the the infrastructure of our 21st century lives have progressively enshittified that infrastructure while expanding their wealth, and then they scold us for being small-souled peasants who don’t believe in progress anymore.
it is amazing how so much tech gets unremittingly worse year on year at whatever you once used it for and less pleasant to use and more bound up with creepy politics as well as personal and environmental harms and yet also still less productive of actual goods and these are somehow great visionaries
