@parasocialyte I was around western mass this past week and have received more dirty looks fake coughs etc than ever, and my hypothesis is that it’s 100% related to the Boston Globe article. I think a lot of people who would have ignored me/my mask now have active contempt & derision 👍 sucks!

@kirabira That self-perception might be accurate, but it also might not be. It’s human psychology to think we’re quieter than we are. 🤷

idk i’m child free and i have lots and lots of free time to spend how i like compared to parents. i choose to spend my time with things that keep me busy yes but it’s a choice i can make/change any day. this is very different from having your time governed by a small human being

[🦢 @ZainabSana2622]

"Childfree people don't understand how much free time they have."

I'm going to hold your hand when I say this: there are other things besides children that are time-consuming. Taking care of children is not the only way a person can be busy.

And you did not have to have children.

@NukitToBeSure 100%. This is why it’s important to always speak up about the effectiveness of far UVCs and this company’s ethics in every conversation if you have a position in a COVID cautious space, bc fear of being side eyed shouldn’t stop you from speaking the truth.

Interrupting my holiday break to say: iOS 26 is bad. Worse. It's not just liquid glass. Everything is now one or more extra taps away. Actions buried. Keyboard downgraded. Siri is essentially dead. Apple undid years of good work.

@hunteryharris @SiaMagenta i think they mean bc her team released a statement saying she didn’t know baldoni was there in blake’s apt, but the texts show blake texting taylor that he’s there & could she read the script & say good things abt it to him

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

These stories never fail to make my jaw drop. A CPS worker ruled this family neglected their son because they...let him ride his scooter a third of a mile away.

They’re now living under a government “safety plan” for behavior that was normal just a few decades ago.

Everyone is acting like it’s extravagant but that’s my budget for my family of two… we have 3 home cooked meals a day & rarely get take out, but groceries are EXPENSIVE where we live i’m flabbergasted at this thread

[Emily Zanotti 🦝 @emzanotti]

The worst part is that the USDA seems to be operating on the idea that $420 is a reasonable per week grocery budget for a family of four, and the best meal they could come up with is broccoli, baked chicken, and a tortilla.

@nomoreme @DaeronTargtower it’s lobster/shrimp (surf like surfing in the ocean) & steak (cows on turf/land)!

excellent thread - i want to add putting your phone on red mode!

I help people get their sleep on track as part of my job and if you're not doing these for your sleep, your should:

- Take 1mg or less ONLY of melatonin. Less is more with melatonin and you're not doing yourself favors with 5 or 10mg pills, which manufacturers make because people buy them thinking they're better. Not the case.
- Sleep in 100% darkness. Light of any level interferes with your sleep. Get a sleep mask if you can't get your room dark.
- Get better sheets. You should NOT be sleeping on polyester / microfiber - they trap heat and don't breathe either, promoting skin issues. Your temperature changes through the night, so a temp-regulating fabric like a linen/cotton blend is great for all seasons; or if you sleep too hot, try bamboo/viscose, which disappates heat.
- Get enough sleep. If you're younger (adolescent to young adult) you may need 9 or even 10. Uterus owners, new research is out indicating we need a bit more sleep, including right around menstruation - 8.5 or 9 hours might be more appropriate even if you're an adult.
- Try to get the same amount of sleep every day. A new study is out showing that it's likely healthier to get consistent sleep (ie 6h every night) over inconsistent but more sleep (ie 8, then 4, then 10).
- Try magnesium balm. Mag is good for sleep quality and skin balm less hard on your stomach than a tablet.
- GET YOUR PHONE OUT OF YOUR BED. I stg some of you are complaining about insomnia but still scrolling in bed - BLUE LIGHT SUPPRESSES MELATONIN. Your brain literally thinks it's daytime when you look at your phone's light so it's no wonder you're not sleeping. No phone or screens an hour before bed. Get a book, talk on the phone, or shower instead.
- Similarly, get out of bed if you're not falling asleep. Lying there for hours teaches your brain to associate the bed with not sleeping, so get up and sit in dim light on the sofa - no, get off your phone - and read something boring until you feel more sleepy.
- If you have ANY signs of sleep apnea or are overweight, I recommend asking about a sleep study - you can often get a small take-home device to do one. I was chronically tired, achy, etc but did not snore, so I was shocked when I found out it was mild apnea. Sleep onset insomnia can be a sign!

@ednewtonrex does anyone have a gift article link?

[angel @jinnandcoke]

in the book fiyero was a dark skinned prince of a small poor colonized nation & was killed by the secret police because of elphaba’s involvement in Animal radical movements but it doesn’t make any sense in the musical bc all the political context is taken out

no, marilyn was a great actress

Is Sydney Sweeney the Marilyn Monroe of her time?

@kevinmdraper I want an update to the article so badly

[angel @jinnandcoke]

@ribzoftiktok it might not be teflon tbf it could be cast iron enamel or ceramic or carbon nonstick

“Parkinson’s rates in the US have doubled in the past 30 years. And studies suggest they will climb another 15 to 35 percent in each coming decade. This is not how an inherited genetic disease is supposed to behave.”

Because it’s mostly environmental.

@stewartesss @STAR_GLACIER_ @GoomBoom08 this is the transmisogyny version of when white men make fun of “white women” as a way to be misogynistic while appearing to be woke, except much more nefarious + dangerous
