i know you’ve probably been always taught differently, but this is objectively untrue. this country was literally built on genocide and slavery, it was steeped in misogyny and racism.

America has always been this.

Walmart doesn’t let you use contactless pay unless you use their app. several times now I’ve gone there to grab a few things, not realizing i didn’t have my card with me, and had to leave a full cart behind because i will not install their adware.

it blows my mind that people buy ebooks when Libby is free.

i looked into those myself. it’s worth knowing that they’re several Android updates behind, so the devices could be less secure.

it has been for awhile. cats have been dying from it too

you can get wider ones but mine are standard so they would clog probably, i got my first set here and they have extra wide ones. but now i just grab a set if i see them at Aldi or Ross.

they are dishwasher safe :)

glass for me. that way i know they get completely clean

i use them pretty much exclusively but i have a collection of glass ones i reuse. i have a weird thing about drinking from an open cup so i always have a lid/straw.

the only treatment i have gotten is gabapentin and another med that have helped a little with some of the pain, but I’m still in constant pain and have not been able to find anyone who can diagnose or treat joint disorders (I’m suspecting EDS).

smoking a j helps for a couple hours but that gets expensive quick lol. my partner has learned how to massage my ribs back into place but can’t help with my hips so they’re fucked. lol

all rheumatologists in my area have straight up refused my referrals, stating they don’t treat fibromyalgia or connective tissue disorders anymore. it’s crazy

that’s kinda where i am. I’m in the mindset to be as gay as possible and as loud as possible about my dissent on what’s happening here.

me and my partner are both also trans. our lives are probably worthless anyway, why would i cower now?? I’ve worked too hard to become my own person to let the fuckin GOVERNMENT take it away from me. they can strip my rights and even kill me, but they can’t make me not be queer.

then we will all get on WordPress or something and go back to rss feeds. they can’t ban everything, the Internet is too big. people will find a way

yeah my district hasn’t sent anything out at all…

thank you! i was hesitant to get one that was unbranded, but i am more inclined to get one by Logitech!

I’ve been eyeing this little gadget, maybe it would solve the inconvenience issue?

fast forward 10 years, he sits down to “tell you something important” and then is shocked when you already knew 😆

i used to request to work on holidays so i didn’t have to spend time with my shitty family lol

Jeremy Dewitt is the funniest serial offender of this. he’s in prison now i believe, but there’s soooo much body cam footage of him, he’s pretty much a lolcow at this point.

people on disability are only allowed to make a very small amount of money per month, usually 1000 or less, or they lose their benefits. I’m guessing that’s why
