My buddy's ditch weed and a manga on this Saturday morning lethargy 🫡

10/10 Akane Torikai has me fucked up. Check the trigger warnings. This is a complex drama with NUANCE. Reminds me of Sayaka Murata minus the surrealism.

My desk top with the manga Sensei's Pious Lie Vol 1 by Akane Torikai, a mug of half drank coffee, and a glass chillum with a bic lighter

Being on Bluesky is watching people with years of experience doing community care work get lectured by people whose biggest contribution to the cause is ruining their family's Thanksgiving.

I bet! Going through chemo is a cluster fuck of feels while your body just... does body things. Big hugs 🫂

The frustrating part about being American and navigating Healthcare in the setting era of Medicaid is that so few people understand that your taxes pay into your annual premium on federal plans. So yeah, you're paying double now with a private plan, while the tax man lobs another bomb at kids.

And there's an indigenous grassroots effort to develop pangolin farming practices to reduce impact to wild populations, and in this 26 part thesis, I will--

You're the only person on chemo I've ever heard of doing 5 mile walks after, no guilt, ma'am. Get your rest so your body can heal! No matter how fit that stuff will knock your rhythm off kilter and you just gotta rest n let it run its course. THREE LEFT!!!!

Yeah, same 😫 we had a closer one but it only runs a few months in peak spring-summee. And one of the affordable grocery chains got bought out and a bunch closed, damn food deserts

I’m an asshole. I made a younger lawyer cry this evening.

I gave her my honest opinion about her.

I told her she was amazing, and brave, and deserved every good thing that she was getting in her new job. And that I was super proud of her.

I’m not ashamed. And no one can stop me.

My new company sent me a little care package through Diversity Press, and idk I'm kinda ready to drink the kool aid. 🤷‍♀️ They've been taking pretty good care of me so far.

He didn't get to the moon but he got his crew home, and that was the more remarkable task.

Astronaut Jim Lovell, famed Apollo 13 commander, dies at 97

Lovell was also the first astronaut to go to space four times and part of the Apollo 8 crew, the first to launch on the Saturn V rocket and first to orbit the moon.
