Now that you mention it, I can't think of any comments RFK Jr has ever made regarding age related health issues, or medical care for seniors. He talks about kids & transpeople but hasn't offered batshit ideas about healthcare for people in his own age group. Hmmm.

My point being, if they flubbed the virtual interview, maybe you dodged a bullet. It's your interview of a potential employer, too!
Brandy Snap (@brandy-snap.bsky.social) reply parent
Once I got ready for a teams interview but the interviewer never sent the link, so I had to talk to him on the phone in a full face of makeup & hair done. He blamed me for not getting onto teams (which I've used many times) & misread my resume & tried to dismiss me over not having the degree I have.

If they are monitoring this intersection, maybe it's a good idea to cede it & recreate the Pulse memorial on every other intersection in the state. On that scale, it would be impossible for them to keep painting over or monitoring all of them & their effort to do so becomes more & more ridiculous.

Yes, it takes a lot of effort to obtain these permissions & they are rarely perfectly implemented. Framing a convo about access in a way that glosses over our existences leaves room for teachers & others to forget we exist & have fought for the accommodations that keep us alive.

Newsom gives Dems permission to be implicitly transphobic. They act surprised when I frame trans rights as human rights, preferring to situate it as a fringe quirk they are free to shrug off in favor of "important" things. Dumbasses don't get that human rights ARE the important things.

I can't help but ponder the choice of chips. I'd never bribe anyone, but if I did, I'd use plain chips for a neutral odor. Due to greasiness, chips wouldn't be my first choice. A bag of cookies makes more sense to me. I'd want to see this degree of consideration in anyone trying to bribe me, too.

One of the core duties of the left right now is to model liberatory practice in defiance of the eugenic, genocidal, totalitarian numbskull ethos that governs our state. That includes lived, embodied, everyday practice. Which means masks at our large events, and ideally our small ones.

I don't want to be party to violating another person's bodily autonomy (via execution), even if the person violated mine (via SA). I think the idea of revenge can be healing but in reality, it's ethically & emotionally messy. I don't think it would give me peace.
Brandy Snap (@brandy-snap.bsky.social) reply parent
Respectfully, I don't understand why you suggest the commenter be more pragmatic. The post, sardonic as it is, is about voting for Newsom for prez, not gerrymandering. Newsom doesn't believe the commenter is entitled to the same rights you are. Are human rights negotiable?

It's alarming that I had to scroll this far to see Kenji's name. I'm a fan of one of Adam Ragusea's pizza recipes & some of his others. I am compelled to add The Perfect Loaf, Maurizio Leo's sourdough channel. Obsessively meticulous & educational. I don't know who Chef John is.

Sourdough discard pizza with fresh mozz, sliced tomatoes, oyster mushrooms, baby bellas, & garlic. Easiest pizza recipe I've ever used. Crust is crisp & crackerlike. It is one of the better pizzas I've made but there is a lot of room for improvement. www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/sour...

Human rights for transpeople are non-negotiable. Being okay w/ the idea that some people get to have autonomy & self-determination while others don't, makes Newson deeply problematic. I respect his efforts to argue against tyranny, but arguing โ fighting back. We need a lot more than rhetoric.

The notable thing is fidelity to social media vs. trusting the scientific model. Antivaxxers believe sources crafted to elicit strong emotional reactions. But imo, this is not unrelated to the fact that US healthcare is a for-profit industry that prioritizes massive yields over human life.
