Their marketing for their launch back in Aug ‘21 pictured fat folks and stated “Body Equality. We deserve it.” …help us understand, @OldNavy what it is that we deserve. Actions speak louder than words. Your actions are violent towards fat folks.

“It's been just two days since Elon Musk officially bought Twitter. Already, the billionaire businessman is using the platform to spread misinformation to his 112 million followers — about the biggest U.S. news of the weekend.” https://t.co/Qyf7hk3fhr

@KFFCats This is Helix, the rescue we got him from was stunned he took so long to be adopted because he's 12 pounds of FRIENDSHIP

If any other medical treatment had a 98% success rate (and remember, that 2% isn't all regret. Some stop due to financial reasons, medical reasons, or due to reaching a point of realizing they are trans but nonbinary so don't continue) it would be considered outstanding outcome.

I am begging you, if you live in Florida and have ANY ability to, get to the Board of Medicine meeting in the Hyatt Regency Orlando at 8AM (arrive 30min early or more) tomorrow October 28.

They are going to try to forcibly medically detransition all trans teens in Florida.

@adhdjesse When I was a student I'd bring a sketch book, and in-between taking notes I'd doodle.

[KSBD Amazon Teamsters @ieamazonworkers]

BIG NEWS📢 We’re going on strike this Fri, Oct. 14!

We're organizing to improve our jobs & Amazon has responded w/ intimidation, threats & retaliation. We gave @amazon until Oct. 10 to meet our demands & they failed.

Now it's time to #PayUpAmazon! #AmazonStrike #IEAmazonWorkers

we all know saint valentine is responsible for love and saint patrick is the patron of the irish.

but who’s in charge of more niche stuff, like clowns, hangovers, and bees? well, here’s a thread of saints you can talk to about highly specific problems! 🧵

Update: Water method is reliable, if not a little daunting! Honeycomb turned out great! Now, my fudge, which is an ancient recipe with steps like "butter, the size of an egg" does not have any testing for done-ness steps, just knowing it in your heart..? Looking a bit soft

[SomethingShort @SnappyErika]

Just made honeycomb and discovered my thermometer doesn't go up to 300 so here's hoping I was right with the water method and made candy, not a mess!

but obviously it’s much easier to blame individuals than it is to address the systemic issues
