I wrote this thread in a fury. I neglected to note that trans men also need knowledge about menopause. As do nonbinary people.

Back to your regular scheduled annoyance at the patriarchy
If they hadn’t burned all the witches and midwives back in the day, we’d probably know more about perimenopause and menopause right now. We know fuck all about a condition that half the population goes through because men are a bunch of plonkers*

*not all men**

**but most of them

Listen, grace must be given to those of us with menopause brain. If we have a track record of saying things the right way, people just need to assume that our brain just didn't allow us to do it right this time, if we forget. No one should have to apologize for menopause brain.

Race-baiter: But this is one of the good ones! He’s educated and integrated and he pays taxes!

The media successfully convinced itself all the humorless scolds were on the left, and while we certainly have our share of them, oh, baby, is it not even CLOSE to how many there are on the right.
NEW: Dr. Oz is quite literally telling his federal employees to eat less.

“You don't have to try every cookie on the holiday table,” wrote Mehmet Oz in an email to all Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services employees.

I do try to use this stupid power to do as much good as I can -- promoting important causes, shining a light on good reporting and scholarly work, etc etc.

But this is a volunteer gig in my free time. I'm not your monkey.

If you stamp your feet and make demands, I'm just going to block you.

"You're a big account, so you have a duty to ..."

Look, at some level, I get that.

But also ... I didn't run for the office of Big Account with a promise to you, the Bluesky voter, to deliver on certain issues.

I just logged onto the same site you did, made some posts, and people followed me.

It’s time to talk about my cat. To which you might be saying, “Chuck, I didn’t know you had a cat!” and I’d respond with, “I didn’t know I had a cat either…

A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

Very shitty people who become opposed to other very shitty people are still very shitty people

LESLEY STAHL: You contributed to the toxic culture. You were out there pounding, insulting people

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: You've contributed to it as well

STAHL: I want you to respond to what you have done in terms of insulting people
