This is also the last point where I loved the show, but let's not become ahistorical canon denialists. Doctor Who ended on a confused Billie Piper mugging the camera and we can't change that
People think the USA was some progressive paradise before Trump, but the reality is, the colonial regime was always fascist and has never stopped being an apartheid state-- they realized that appearances matter in a propaganda state. Now it's mask off, that's all.
Tell your children about Ruby Bridges, the first Black child to integrate an all-white public elementary school in Louisiana. She turned 71 last year-she's only 71.
Imagine my shock as a neurodivergent teen when I first realized that using large vocabulary and eloquent speech doesn't make you less likely to be misinterpreted, rather it adds an entirely new layer of misinterpretation I had never even realized existed in the form of people thinking you're being snobbish or condescending when you're just trying to be specific
Disappointed in the election turnout yesterday.
I think reporting of the numbers should include the number of the total eligible voters who didn't vote.
Imagine what could change if we said 52.9% voted for "nobody", and 18.6% voted for the winner. what effect would it have?

My bus is ALWAYS late by at least five minutes if not ten. The ONE time I'm the teensiest bit tardy, It passes me by as I wave to indicate I'm ALMOST THERE PLEAAASSEEE 😭
Early studies confirmed LongCovid patients have a lower quality of life than advanced cancer patients.
The CDC also confirmed this.
Then we deliberately normalized Covid & “accepted exposure,” because no one wants to pay for this.
A year ago, 48M Americans had LongCovid.
When women and girls talk about sexual assault, men’s first response is usually, “happens to men too.”
But when men talk about high rates of male suicide which is a real, serious problem in our society, you almost never hear a woman say, “happens to girls too.”
Because we understand basic empathy, and that the conversation doesn’t take away from women’s lived experiences.
You know what really bugs me these days? We can't own anything. Everything is a subscription service, like literally everything. You can't buy Microsoft Office, you have to purchase a subscription for a year. You literally have to pay for everything FOREVER. Isn't anyone else bothered by this?
🚨NEW: Every hospital in England has been urged to disobey an NHS directive to use software operated by US analytics software company Palantir.
A coalition of human rights, health and patient organisations, and unions sent out the plea to NHS trusts by email

@lady_valor_07 I think there should be flights with pets and flights without pets. Pet free flights for people who want to pay extra. Then the animal flights separate Dog-class cabin. Cat-class cabin. The seat costs the same as a human they must be in a carrier or harnessed.
I used to think JKR just became a better author as the HP series developed, but with how she is now *gestures vaguely to everything*, I'd bet money it was just a more thorough effort on the editing side.
@sciencegirl Not being on-call 24/7 with the expectation of being available for contact every waking second or the day. Leaving the phone at home and just being free when away.
