Temporarily back at the nonprofit I was at until last August (woo!). Very sweet older lady caught me in the break room to compliment me on losing weight since she last saw me. Says I've definitely slimmed down. I haven't, so I'm a bit confused.
Few minutes later, I remember I'm wearing a binder. 😂

Even though I specifically planned ahead so I wouldn't go buy lunch on my lunch break, I am very tempted to run out and get something. Bad habits are, in fact, habits.

also the implication that the must vulnerable demographics will lose their HIPAA protections first.
the ones who do not have advocates or the advocates who do have little to no actual care for them.
this should chill everyone, not just the ones who knew this was coming and are already afraid.

this should be chilling for anyone and everyone. if a case can be dropped because medical records were purposefully exposed for a demographic you don't like - how long will it take to mutate to you don't have HIPAA protections anymore?

I've got a sinus infection so my partner went and got me fancy tissues, cuties, and a chocolate shake. 💙 He's also picking up extra wings for me while he's at lunch so I have some leftovers. 💙💙💙 I feel like crap but I also feel loved.

Who would have foreseen that by effectively stealing music from artists by stopping paying out on songs that have less than 1000 streams in the past 12 months would result in a first ever annual profit for Spotify?

Hear me out —
If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is.
Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

Yes folks please process that what’s happening right now is that Mr Nazi Salute has access to the personal information of every Jew in America, along with every person who gets/has gotten disability benefits, and so on
The Holocaust was an administrative process that included lists of targets

I just called my House Rep and was told by his staff that he’s being briefed and I said we need to hear a clear plan from the democrats about how they’re going to protect our us and democracy from an unelected open Nazi who has access to the personal information of Jews and civil servants
Everyone please call you Congress offices this morning and ask them why this has been allowed - make noise

I am begging us to understand religion as a system of power and not only theology
white American Christianity is a supremacist system, and has been, forever
It has forever shaped our laws, publics, etc, from their inception
it is not about the text or faith
it is about having & keeping power

Fox News: The church is in trouble because it is focusing on "wokeism", you know stuff like "helping people of different race, or sexual persuasion, whatever, instead of focusing on The Word."

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Ace here to remind you that anything you do with a partner, you can do with a friend. Go to the movies, run errands together, rant about your day, cuddle, and if it's in both of your wheelhouses, you can even have sex. You just have to communicate about it and make sure you're on the same page. 🖤🤍💜
