I have never really read romance, but I'd read a meet cute between the Tumblr bone witch and the Harvard morgue manager written by @jamieloftus.bsky.social in a heartbeat.

oh, ok so now it's a crime to steal skin and brains from corpses. this used to be a free country.

The Supreme Judicial Court says Harvard failed to adequately supervise its former morgue manager, Cedric Lodge, who admitted to stealing skin, brains and bones of bodies that had been donated to the medical school for students to learn from.

The Riyadh comedy fest feels like yet another result of nihilistic hypercapitalism where people who got famous supposedly speaking truth to power are still absolutely going to take a giant paycheck from openly evil people because "getting yours" is the only recourse anyone feels like they are given.

I know there's a lot going on but this is a huge deal: Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin will stop providing abortions next week in an apparent bid to keep accepting Medicaid. The GOP budget law "defunds" PP affiliates that offer abortion care after October 1

We broke the story on @autonomynews.co

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin to Halt Abortion Services

Sources say the affiliate isn't scheduling abortion appointments after September 30 in an apparent attempt to avoid Medicaid "defunding."

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
