Got a letter from Kaiser telling my mom her Medicare advantage plan with them is ending. No offer of another, more expensive plan, just a “see ya!” from the docs she’s had for over a decade.

I’m so sorry. They live such brief lives, especially the girls. I got four when the pandemic started - The Plague Rats. Each death was so traumatic. Rest in peace, Wanda.

Rat jumps ship, TikTok at 11.

Perhaps he knows how humiliating it would be if he were cancelled and no one protested.

His staff have rebelled at his hungover moods and bitchy attitude at work. He’s a wanker.

All their lives, red hat Americans were told they were “better than.” We’ve always been a shallow country, but now we have social media and oligarch media to keep up the pretense that we are still exceptional, but have just been victimized and robbed of entitlements by anyone “different.”

I’m hoping to make it to the local protest on the 18th. I belong to the local indivisible group, and I live in a blue state, Washington. I just really want Canada to annex us, tbh. Our Governor and senators are fighting to keep us safe from our federal government. This is dire & yes, we must fight.

Very possibly true, but the citizens on Bluesky aren’t the ones with their head in the sand. We need people with blowhorns to wake people up in their comfortable places because we absolutely have a huge problem. It’s tragic and scary as hell.

“Don‘t you understand what they just said,” hon, go ask them on Twitter where maybe they *don’t* understand. I promise you, we’re not here on Bluesky for the great casserole recipes.

I think most of these guys are over-compensating like crazy! We know that many vile men of history had wonky wieners - Hitler, Napoleon, Harvey Weinstein, Trump - all confirmed abnormal or micro. The tiny dick energy of the GOP (Gross Old Penises) is why we can’t have nice things.

shrek is standing next to a donkey with the words do you think maybe he 's compensating for something below him

Alt: shrek is standing next to a donkey with the words do you think maybe he 's compensating for something below him In this case, he’s referring to the Gross Old Penis republicans and their tiny dick energy.

I can’t believe how under-utilized Elizabeth Warren has been! I expected Biden to appoint her to something big, like Secretary of State, but he did nothing. And though she persists, the men still treat her as invisible. She’d have had this shit sorted as Minority Leader. 100% 👍 on AOC and Crockett.

His obsession with the highest male standard suggests to me that some of the fashion catalogs he receives in the mail are not, in fact, for the ordering of his own underwear. After all, that’s what wives are for.

The Highest Male Standard

A skateboard attempts to find Pete Hegseth’s balls, manages to clip something squishy and inert. Hegseth, despite his obsession with other men’s bodies, is *not* an example of any highest male standard, unless you count limp-dicked alcoholic fascists who fail upwards. Put this little weenie in a room with those career generals and zero surveillance, and then bring in the skateboard of justice. Just saying.

I’ve been scrolling for a half hour and I’m only just seeing this? C’mom people, this is Top of the Feed reblog fodder!

It was how Neo learned jujitsu. We could use more of that, and she wants to deny us.

Coincidence or not, but of my friends who had daughters in the 2000s (including me), only one of seven is straight, and she isn‘t jumping on the baby train either. That epidemic of loneliness among men is only getting bigger, and young women are not going to be risking their futures for them.

I like this plan!

When my daughter confirmed she was gay I felt a wave of relief. She’ll never lower herself to trying to impress the men of her generation, or put up with married bosses trying to bang her, or marry a Republican.

His neck is easily seen at a distance. I suppose he has that going for him.

So supporters can cheer him, duh!
