seen some folks asking about lawyers who help federal employees so:

1. obviously, you can call us. we'll try to fit you in considering ~everything~

2. go to MWELA.org. that's the plaintiff's employment bar association in the DMV. go to NELA.org nationally. search for lawyers who do federal work.

so, is there even any like ... chatter? ... about the government getting funded?

i've been a bit offline today but it seems like we aren't even into the point of discussing the possibility of a concept of a plan.

btw, not sure if you care about this @samadams.bsky.social, but your name on Slate gives links to your (seemingly abandoned) twitter instead of your bluesky.

i'd google for independent pharmacy. i got lucky and happen to have one in my building.

Joshua Erlich @joshuaerlich.bsky.social · 11h

i'd recommend more specifically but the one i'm using is literally in my building

random rec:

i recently switched to a local compounding pharmacy that also does full service pharmacy service. it is, in every way, the opposite of dealing with a Walgreens or CVS. cannot recommend it enough.

The new Tron is like if a Terminator movie wanted you to cheer for Skynet. slate.trib.al/XZ9iQq4

One of Our Oldest Sci-Fi Franchises Is Back. The New Movie Is Woefully Out of Step With Our Moment.

Every generation gets the Tron movie it deserves. That’s bad news for the new one.

Link requested this be boosted so we can help Dr. Divya raise money for Palestinian families in need.

It is also a good day to reinstate Link’s account.

I agree asking for Trump’s help is not the best idea but she clearly did that. Also, stop calling him Hitler, there so many better nicknames for him, like Agolf Shitler, Epstien’s BFF, Cheeto Benito, etc.

I’ve been wondering about this. It seems completely arbitrary.

I’m exactly TRON age and I never even saw the first one.

mtsw @mtsw.bsky.social · 1d

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again
