If Kennedy is so concerned about teens' future fertility, he should know that mumps & many other vaccine-preventable infections cause sterility. Instead of inventing weird shit about minor childrens' fertility, he should recommend that they all get the MMR, HPV, HBV, flu, & COVID-19 vaccines.

Went through the list of govt agencies that've popped up on here... every fucking one of them was posting baldly political, incendiary BS so I blocked them all. This one, though, was particularly fucking bleak. We're so fucking doomed.

A screenshot of the Department of the Interior's bluesky account. Their only post reads "Hi bluesky, we are new here. Anyone want to talk about how climate change isn't the biggest threat to our country and that it's actually losing the AI Arms Race to China?
Oh and to @schumer.senate.gov - Stop the madness of trying to give illegals free healthcare and FUND the government!"

I understand if you don't want to use this one, but I feel like this protest song out of Portland needs some love.

And if red flags arise, then hopefully we'll see them. But his background is very different.

Saff 🌈 @saff313.bsky.social · 4d

There were multiple red flags with Fetterman, he just had a good comms team and was running against Dr fucking oz.

Saff 🌈 @saff313.bsky.social · 5d

The thing is, though, there were signs that Fetterman would suck before the stroke. He just had a really good comms team and was running against even worse people.

This monster has tried to steal the gem off my ring. It was quite painful when he got his teeth between my finger and the ring. Little devil.

Cut a fringe on an empty toilet paper roll and they go wild for it. My Simon's favorite time is when my partner switches out his insoles in his work shoes. When he trims off the tops of the new ones, Simon gets a new toy that he obsesses over for a week. Cats are junk monsters.

Her response was bad but did you see her director's response? So... obnoxious? Dismissive? Heinous? I'm having a hard time finding the words. But it was worse.

Chickenshit response from Keira and an absolutely heinous response from this Simon Stone dickhead.

Scrolled way too long before this one popped up

I don't want to jinx it, and I really hope you stay well... but 3 days isn't long enough to declare victory just yet.

I still know my high school bff's number. Her parents still live in the same house, dunno if they have a landline anymore but if they do I could call it.
I do not know my parents phone numbers... but we're not close so they're not the numbers I'm worried about 🤷‍♀️

Eh, Amerigo Vespucci did participate in Spain's slave trade and genocide of the indigenous people of the Americas... He maybe wasn't as insanely terrible as Columbus but no, we should not be celebrating him either.

The thing is, I do like dogs! But at that moment, I had an injured kitten who was my main concern and this woman seemed to think her dog had a right to stress my kitten out just because he was curious. Nothing against the dog. The owner was the problem.

Saff 🌈 @saff313.bsky.social · 6d

Ugh. I was at the vet with my kitten. This woman was letting her dog roam free in the waiting room. I blocked it from my cat carrier. She got offended and said "this breed doesn't bite".
I saw red. Proud of my self control in the moment, but for sure wanted to stab the bitch.

For goodness sake, Maine, do the right thing.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · Aug 19

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.

I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

When I spent a week visiting my grandparents I missed my cats like crazy... but I was also able to crochet an entire hat in like 2 days without little beasts crawling all over me and biting my yarn so...

There’s a viral video reposted by a lot of news people nationally about an abduction at West Loop Elementary School, but there is no school with that name. The video seems to be of ICE detaining people near UIC yesterday. Details matter. We need to try to get them right before sharing.

Saff 🌈 @saff313.bsky.social · 9d

I thought it might have which just makes it so much funnier to me 😆

*Your. He used the wrong "your" while insulting someone else's intelligence. Just 🤌
