I now have 10,000 followers here but over 5.9 million at the other place. If you want Me to switch for good I need you to get the word out that I'm here, pathetically desperate for worship (just like in real life), and filled with even more contempt for you here than I was there.

Hi everyone.
The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.
We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.
We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.
I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

If your response to this is "okay, bye" ...maybe take a minute! Folks do this ALL the time — and it drives me up the wall. Nearly two million LGBTQ+ people lie in Texas. That's second only to California. There are more Black people living in Texas — 3.8 million — than any other state.
The Texas Nationalist Movement has shared that 10 new GOP legislators signed a promise to “work toward a fair and expedient separation of Texas from the federal government” when they get to the state Capitol in January

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I now check iron levels on all women referred to me for POTS or inappropriate sinus tach! Treating it almost always helps atleast some.
We found that almost 40%(!!) of females between 12 and 21 years of age are iron deficient!
And yet there’s no recommended universal screening.
Wonder how different things would be if it predominantly affected males?!
