Opened my meditation app for the first time in months and it was all "omg I missed you! So glad you're back, so proud of you, you're doing such a good thing! Shall we set some usage goals to keep you on track?" And frankly I find this rude, we both know I've been gone, just let me come back quietly

It remains weird to me that even in NYC there are people who cannot comprehend that not everyone sees Christmas as a neutral, secular, and universal holiday.

1. write a nice, vulnerable heartfelt message. struggle to hit "send" because society has dumb implied rules, and you are a COWARD.
[drawing] message that reads:
hey I just wanted to tell you that I am so glad we're friends! I'm a better person than I was before I met you, and knowing you has improved my life in every way. Thanks for always being there for me! Nothing makes me happier than dicking around and talking shit with you. I will always be there, fighting in your corner. Love you forever (or until I die) <3
2. strategically place spoiler tags. now it's funny, so you HAVE to send it, or go to jail for the crime of
"not committing to the bit" haha get cherished, losers!

okay folks, “government name” doesn’t mean “work for the government.” it is a slang term meaning “your full name”

Newsom could’ve said “we need to focus on common goals” - neutral, reasonable
Instead, he chose to say “culturally normal.” This is loaded language. It warns you about not conforming. It stigmatizes those who do not. It’s a bad and divisive choice, and i think it’s worth noting.

This got really sinister with the use of “back to normal” re: Covid. For people with compromised immune systems or a self-preservation drive, it was entirely normal to keep taking precautions. Their behavior continued to be normal, it stopped, however, being common.

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."

Notice how they don't bring up at all that Black and brown people will likely be harassed the most under a mask ban because both police + some white people will assume they're "up to mischief" bc racism.

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns.
Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

Also USPS didn't loss money because it doesn't make money because it's not a business and if never makes money to begin with.
It did however deliver over 112.5 billion pieces of mail in 2024 and that doesn't even include packages.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
