I just straight up walked out of a medical appointment. Stopped speaking when it was clear I was not being respected and that I was not being allowed to correct inaccurate information. Got up and walked out with her yelling through the building after me.

Like that was a miserable experience but on the other hand the power I felt???? Untouchable. Did you know you can just leave?? Happy Pride Month my friends!!!

"a potential gold mine for criminal hackers or domestic abusers who may physically access their victim’s device. Images include captures of messages sent on encrypted messaging apps Signal and WhatsApp, and remain in the captures regardless of whether disappearing messages are turned on in the apps."

In 2024 it still somehow isn't standard practice to ask in the design process: Are we building the killer app for domestic abusers?

"#Colorado #Republican Party issues call to burn all #Pride flags"

Is there anyone out there who thinks the #GOP means anything anymore except "I'm a bigoted sadistic asshole and it's my entire identity"?

Hey kids, if you want to hear how great recorded music used to sound before the loudness wars won and everything got compressed to shit, listen to an early Eagles album like "One Of These Nights."

I mean, DAMN, it sounds so rich. So balanced. There's so much space between the instruments. The harmonies are electrifying. It sounds like they're playing together right there in front of you. Incredible.

This has been another installment of Gen X Jason Yells At Cloud. Thank you and goodnight.

Giving people some water and/or a granola bar while they’re waiting in a long line to vote isn’t going to sway their choices. Banning it is voter suppression, especially in areas where Republicans try harder and harder to make it difficult for people to vote.

Below are pics of the entire #quilts, and close-ups them. These were both made by my mom + are in storage at her place in New Jersey. Both would be great for anyone with small children, they'd be great for swaddling aa little one with. The dimensions of the 1st one are 44 x 54 in (112 x 137 in), the 2nd one is 52 x 72 in (132 x 183 cm). If u like either of these ones, or want to inquire about other quilts, send me a msg! I have about a dozen other ones to choose from too! ✨✨✨ #quilt #art #arts

This is an article from last year but I just want to remind everyone that taxes work and particularly taxing millionaires works.

Some people, particularly libertarians and Republicans, will tell you it doesn’t. But it does.

It’s inherently infuriating about having an unmasked healthcare worker ask you if you’ve experienced COVID symptoms while checking you in for an appointment.

Well, for your sake I fucking hope not! Why even ask me?

What if I say “yes”? How will my experience change? Are you gonna send me home? Suddenly put on a mask?

What if I DO have COVID and say “no”? Sucks for you, I guess, because my COVID is flying over to you right now.

“According to that data, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) was the program’s overall top spender, with nearly $30,000 in lodging expenses and more than $10,000 for meals in 2023.”

This "recall" is such a bad idea.

It's so, so very bad that I'm wondering if perhaps, maybe, possibly this has already been happening and it's a scramble now to legitimise it as "we were developing a new product" before someone blew a whistle and let us all know that everything we do has been screenshotted for some time.

That's a conspiracy theory by the way, and not true as far as I know. My brain occasionally goes off on one and comes up with these wild, wild ideas.
