Well…I am here!
The star video of my college intranet
Everyone is posting non-English language bangers and yet I've yet to see anyone post one of the greatest things to ever happen to the internet, so I'm leaving it here. When was the last time you listened to this certified fucking banger?

This is another reason alt text is so important. Like, you really don't need to post that screenshot. But if you MUST, alt-text it so that people's mute filters will work!
Like, I know he's an abject racist, we all know he's an abject racist. Please, if someone in my orbit (friends, local businesses, etc) is saying shit, let me know. But gosh the inability to mute the skeets that are an un-muteable one word comment over a screenshot are so exhausting.

Just your periodic reminder that if you, on a fannish pseud account, share an Instagram post without deleting the referral info after the ?, you are giving the internet your IG username.
Many times I see this happen with people who I assume do not intend to cross the streams.

All right, what is the best way to patch jeans these days? I’ve got two pairs fraying in the crotch but otherwise fine, and my sewing supplies do not currently include any appropriate fabric. Have you bought a denim patch kit that worked and would recommend?

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it
Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

I’d really love us to reverse this life-ruining policy choice before an entire generation gets trashed by it. Like. We have the power, and instead we’re just gonna let people descend into ruin anyway. In a country with a scant safety net at the best of times.
Prediction markets are going to become a real problem for society, aren't they?

Was scheduling three medical appointments in one week my best move ever? No. But now that they’re all done, tonight I can chill the fuck OUT.*

One simply does not need to repost the President’s racism! Why is this so hard.
Like if we all wanted to see what he posted without warning we’d be on the platform with him. Meanwhile my experience is how many other people are spreading it as wide as they can.

The guidance for your first colonoscopy is now age 45 in the US! And earlier if you have any risk factors. Given the way the numbers are going these days I would not delay. I’m on a countdown to scheduling mine this summer….
Hello Bluesky user—are you, yes you, approaching 50?
Well, I have some bad news and some good news: you are at increased risk of dying a horrible painful death from colon cancer—BUT—there is something you can do to prevent it!
Yes, you should schedule your colonoscopy today!

BISEXUALS! I need your help for a project on The Mummy (1999). I want to know what appealed to you about the film APART from the fact that everyone was hot. What is it about the Mummy that appeals to you more than, for example, Gone With The Wind or The Avengers?

Congrats to the latest corp to send me an "I'm the biggest creepiest stalker" email trying to convince me to buy the thing I ordered on Monday: Yeti.
This is a bad business practice. This in fact should be illegal. And if you don't have an opt out you're telling me I shouldn't do business with you.
