Parsnip's Guide to Reporting Street Harassment by Nat'l Guard Troops

The holidays are bearing down upon us like an out-of-control tractor trailer, so this is you reminder that
1) it is ok to be happy by yourself

This makes the second time holiday travel has been canceled by the same person coming down with COVID like two days before bestie's flight.

The kicker: patient 0 is a Dr doesn't mask, married to same.

Why, in the year of […]

There is something super wholesome about people who make videos explaining DIY projects on YouTube.

Yes, show me a person opening the housing instead of looking for the model number online to get specs, and then having to go search anyway. Show me video taken of a smudged laptop screen when […]

one of the many ways #doordash sucks is that the email they list on their help page gives an autoreply that it's not being monitored. 😘

Last year I canceled my free trial and they charged me anyway, and when I went back I noticed I didn't get email conf, it had just been the web page UI. My […]

[celebrity predators, abuse]

Hey all, does anyone have orgs (US or NZ preferred) to recommend that focus on preventing abuse/sexual assault in the #kink and #bdsm communities?

I want to donate because of Neil "Fuckface" Gaiman, and I thought I had something west coast bookmarked but I surely […]

US: CVS is now taking appointments for #covid vaccines with the 2025-2026 formula.

For those just tuning in, the FDA and CDC are pwned and the national vaccine guidelines are no longer reliable. There is no evidence that you *don't* need a COVID vaccine.

for those of us who don't actually want to see our feeds full of pictures of famous sex offenders, it would be super cool if you use the word Trump or Epstein in either your post or your alt Text about same so that our filters can work.
