Yeah object permanence is not strong with mine either. She’ll go into another room, forget I exist, scream, I respond, she’s like, “Oh hey, you’re right where I left you!”

Tiny fuzzy airhead.

Not even that though. Like if my chronic medical condition is adequately treated, I’m able to work, be productive, pay taxes, contribute to the economy, hopefully contribute to my community.

But that would eat into an insurance company’s profits, therefore they’d rather opt to let me die and replace me with a new unit that can pay premiums longer without needing any actual medical care.

The only entity that has a positive financial incentive to pay for the medical care that keeps me healthy is the government.

Medicare for All, now.

I can walk to CVS from my house. That’s the main reason I stay at this pharmacy. The staff there know me and I like them. But fuck the corporation for real.

My CVS went through a period at one time where even in person prescription, they would ask me to come back later to pick it up. CVS treats its employees like trash, but apparently customers got mad enough that they finally hired some more people because that hasn’t happened in a while.

I call in a refill on my prescription. It takes them 4 years to fill it. Then they text me every five seconds for the next three days until I pick it up, threatening to throw it into the fires of Mordor if I forget.

Multiples of 3. Multiples of 5 is too large a jump on most systems. Multiples of 3 gives satisfying sound and visuals.

And then they blame it on the Democratic president, so…yes.

Me being a nurse makes me glad I’m bad with regular smells lol

Hey fam, as a person with ME/CFS who works in healthcare, just wanted to say that I appreciate you.

I was gonna say, actually thinking about pocketing the excess next time I pull some from the Omnicell to see if this works lol

Went to a comedy show Saturday in Chicago and was delighted by the rolling jubilee of compliments happening in the ladies room queue. Just people passing the queue on their way out complimenting those waiting in line. It seemed like each of us just wanted to keep it going when we left. Heartwarming

Ok this is actually adorable though

Of course it’s a fantasy about what I want. Everything that ever happens in the world starts out as a fantasy of what some people want.

I think there are more cracks in that galvanizing than you think. Overturning Roe is not turning out to be the grand success they’d hoped. Yes, it’s because people who vote conservative require the truth to impact them personally and emotionally before they get the point. Yes, that’s fucked. But it’s the sad reality we’re dealing with here.

I don’t expect people to flip full socialist LGBT ally overnight. But if someone starts suggesting we take up arms against our fellow residents of the US, a depiction of reality might cause enough people to pause and think, “You know, maybe let’s not.”

Don’t act like fictional depictions have no impact on real opinions.

No, I think conservatives who think they want to cosplay as soldiers are exactly the people who need to see what their fantasies would really look like, if brought to fruition. I think the ad placement was deliberate and the movie is intended to be a shock lesson for all people, but especially these ones.

Thanks

And mine won’t let me upload even using the “upload image” button on desktop site. I’m getting some error “Unexpected token…DOCTYPE…is not valid JSON.” I’m trying to upload a JPG taken on a Pixel 5, so idk.

But @tehcooles@programming.dev pics are great! I couldn’t capture the diamond ring effect and the more subtle parts of the corona on my Pixel 5.

I got a great picture of totality and I can’t post it with the damn Boost app lol. I’ll have to try once I get back to my laptop

LITERALLY HAPPENING

Only a handful of people on Arrakis really knew Paul’s full capabilities at that point. Remember this is the first time even the Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother who trained Jessica really knew what Paul could do.

By their genetic calculations, Fayd was a contender. This fight proved he wasn’t.

The point better explained in the book and kind of glossed over in the movie is that Fayd and Paul both about equally fit the characteristics of the Kwisatz Haderach that the Bene Gesserit were trying to breed. They were sort of shadow images of each other, and it was a real coin toss which one would win that fight and show himself to the the real KH.
