Faced with a problem, my brain will consider quitting my job, burning my house down and faking my own death before it considers that I could ask, out loud, for what I want. What do we call this kind of brain?

I only have meds because of Medicaid expansion

Every person on Bluesky should know:

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.

This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Anti-vaccination rhetoric is also a policy failure.

Healthcare is so expensive people turn to alternative healthcare settings and groups which lead them to conspiracy theories and the alt-right.

Indigenous Food Reciprocity as a Model for Mutual Aid.
For centuries, Native communities have focused on the collective rather than the individual. civileats.com/2025/03/03/i...

People will make it sound like Palestinians are soooo different than people in the West- but Mohammed was an accountant at a dentist’s office, he had a cat.

We are so much closer to Palestinians than anyone in power in the West.

"We will not let Guantanamo’s horrors be repeated. Close Guantanamo. End indefinite detention. Stop this order. We are not just survivors of Guantanamo. We are witnesses. And we will not let the world forget."

I'm going to say something that a sector of this app is going to really be ruffled by. I'm noticing a weird trend on here that has ramped up since the inauguration. Where ✋🏻 folks who call themselves liberal jump crazy in the replies of Black folks' skeets randomly with unprovoked negativity.

Dems are, like, constitutionally addicted to trashing their own base. Why on earth would you target teachers here, other than as a cheap ploy to play to misogyny (teachers=effete, out of touch, feminine; factory workers=strong, in touch, masculine). It’s gross and it reaffirms the right’s worldview

Imma be honest. It's really easy for me to boycott. I'm broke. So many of us have already cut out any "extras" we used to enjoy say 5 years ago. I used to get my nails done pretty regular, eat out once a week, purchase clothes when I saw something nice, travel for concerts. All cut on my end.

the denigration and distortion of "identity politics" is anti-Black. Black queer women coined and defined the term just a few decades ago, yet it's constantly demonized and stripped of its true meaning and value.

Things are coming apart quickly, so a word to white folk: you’re going to have to get used to property damage if you want to survive. Getting upset protesters set an empty Target on fire & making THAT & not police murder the focus is part of how we got here.

Now the planet's best hope for scientific and industrial breakthroughs to wean us off of fossil fuels, is for China to do their homework, and then do ours too.🤷🏿‍♂️

Elon didn't make significant progress, and then he destroyed the USA's ability to make progress as a nation. NSF, NOAA, etc, are broken.

JK using gender neutral "they"? Luv it!

The FIRST thing Kluwe says against MAGA is that they are trying to erase trans people from existence.

Did you doubt me when I said our community could lead America back from the brink by serving as a symbol of all the freedoms Americans are losing every day?

This is exactly what I meant.
