We only rate dogs. This is spaghetti con salsiccia. Obviously has the noodles and the sausage, but is notably missing sauce. Please only send dogs. Thank you… 13/10 (IG: futrinka_tacsko)

Texas was devastated by deadly floods. In the aftermath, FEMA Acting Administrator David Richardson is nowhere to be found. In any other administration, this would be an epic scandal. But with Trump, it's treated as business as usual.

There's no other award or prize I could imagine that means half as much to me. Le Guin is literally the person who taught me what it means to be politically engaged as an author. To see The Sapling Cage on this shortlist is everything to me. And in such good company!

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa.
It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;)

Looks like ACIP isn’t going to deviate from its evidence-based processes after all.
The only difference now is that the evidence can be made up

Slides posted for thimerosal presentation at ACIP included citation of study that appears not to exist
“I don’t have a publication in Neurotoxicology by that title,” the apparent lead author told us

I pitched the NYT on this and they passed cause "all democrats are good with LGBTQ people"
Zohran Mamdani is the only democrat in the mayoral race that released an LGBTQ platform and the only democrat in the country (that I know of) to commit to safeguarding gender affirming care for youth + adults with $$.

Putting up a fierce fight at the opening of the poem is the way to stop the rest of the poem from coming true.
The fight for migrants and to stop ICE is the same fight as the fight to protect LGBT people (citizens or not), reproductive autonomy, and everyone else the fascists want to fuck with.

The male seahorses foster the babies until they’re ready to live on their own so therefore this is a Father’s Day card. Idk if my dad knows that so I made sure to include that information in the card. I forgot to buy a card and am about to go see him, is what I’m saying. I think this works.

In case you didn’t know, cholera doesn’t come from air, it literally comes from POOP, at least the bacteria (vibrio cholerae) transmitted through feces, which usually end up in water or food. Not airborne, not even droplets. And hopefully everybody knows that obesity is not cause by smelling food.
