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.

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.

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.

Yes, I think areas of specialized knowledge can be an exception, depending on how the info is offered. This topic feels quite subjective & context dependent.

V. Birchwood does recreate historical diets (for about a week at a time). Her videos are a lot of fun! She is skilled at sewing historical garments & I think that was her segueway into experimenting with antiquated diets/ways of life firsthand: www.youtube.com/c/vbirchwood

As a horror fan terrified of haunted houses irl, I'm impressed. There's usually a survivor in those movies & your chances are probably good if you remain calm & rational.
