Unwanted DMs get you blocked. So does hatred and people who double down unapologetically on unwarrented rudeness. And just general assholery. I don't got time for that.

No one who claims to care about kids' wellbeing should oppose them. They're safe, they're reversible, and the only problem they can cause (in some kids, not all!) is a mild calcium deficiency that's easily treatable by a $10 bottle of calcium gummies.

"Oh, but we don't know enough about long term effects and safety--"

Yes we do. We've been prescribing puberty blockers for cis kids experiencing unwanted puberty they find distressful for decades. It's fine. It's perfectly safe. They need some extra calcium. You can buy 60 calcium gummies for $10.

A PSA-style poster displaying an assortment of brightly colored pressed pills. The text reads "ATTENTION PARENTS OF TRICK OR TREATERS: THIS IS NOT CANDY. These are ecstasy pills and they are expensive. No one is going to give them out to your children as Halloween candy."

Every year, all of the safety tips we see are aimed at trick-or-treaters behaving more safely around cars, and none of them seem to focus on how drivers should behave.

What if we changed that messaging just a little?

#halloween #halloween🎃 #halloweenparty #halloween2025

Halloween Safety Tips:

• Watch out for kids when driving.

• Slow down! Nowhere you have to be is more important than someone's life.

• Observe all signs and signals. Come to a full stop at stop signs & red lights.

• Don't make it the responsibility of children to avoid your multi-ton vehicle.

Halloween is the single most dangerous day of the year for children pedestrians. You can help change that.

I've made nice, seasoned, low fat chicken breast. French fries turn out amazingly restaurant crispy, as do hush puppies and chicken nuggets. My sister did tye best steak I had in a couple years in hers. AND I've done a pack of cinnamon buns. Air Fryers are so freaking good.

Lots of lovely folks want to cook for neighbors, fill community fridges during SNAP shutdown but are intimidated. A mutual aid group in Flatbush, Brooklyn has been feeding 80+ people every single week for a year and a half or so now. Nobody is born knowing how to cook for 80, so here's our guide!

I'm so sorry. The Healthcare shitshow is even worse anywhere remotely rural.

My fellow Appalachians, may your commutes keep your cars intact and your kith and kin safe.

Daylight savings ends this weekend in the US...so watch out for DEER.

Yes. REALLY.

Deer.

Deer-vehicle collisions spike when daylight saving time ends

In the week after much of the United States turns the clock back, scientists found a 16 percent increase in crashes between vehicles and deer.

Genuine question/suggestion, first I have heard of your issue.
Have you tried calling her insurance company and asking if they provide any transportation assistance?

Nudes sock puppetry that he will excuse as performance art and will hopefully lead to an existential crisis and the dude actually getting a fucking life? Look, we can hope here. We can dream.

Have you heard of card weaving? Inkle looms? Rigid heddle looms?

Sure, there's a limit to what you can do with any of them, but they're great to start weaving and a lot less space intensive than the giant ass looms!

(I, too, want a giant ass loom.)
