The black hole of disinformation and bullshit continues to suck in huge portions of the US. Rabies is spreading in the US. One reason is that many people are not vaccinating their dogs. Why? Many actually believe rabies vaccinations will make their dogs autistic.

NEW: Politicians of both parties are pushing to expand forced hospitalization. In many cases, cops w/ minimal training fill out forms attesting that people are a danger to themselves or others. In Chicago, police forcibly hospitalize 6 people a day. It's how over 20% of CPD mental health calls end.

that’s part of the process. it sucks and it is why it is easier to stay in the comfort zone. ask yourself, are these mistakes harmful to me? can I reasonably expect to not make these mistakes without experience? is there someone experienced in the area I’m exploring to mentor me?
Fiona Cielo (she/her) (@fionacielo.bsky.social) reply parent
realize it is outside the comfort zone for a reason - it’s uncomfortable. give myself grace and also praise for being brave enough to grow (growing pains) good job! go make more mistakes!

i’ll never understand not accepting money in a business. weird way to operate a business. what was it costing to accept cash? going to the bank? lazy

once you shoot someone in the back I think a defending yourself reason is gone. Now add running after them? I am angry it took this long to charge him. I agree about the kids being out late, but factors such as cost of care and rising costs of food allow me to give his parents grace

Murder charges for the killer of an 11-yo 5th grader playing pranks. This scum chased the boy and shot him in the back, but charges weren’t initially filed.

pretty sure research can only be done in the library these days. maybe the internet can help, but going to the books is important. also, libraries give access to research sites. I do miss how great Google was for researching esp after a rewatch of Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

they weren’t delivering a modem I needed and wouldn’t go to a holding place if I didn’t get it. I had to get on the phone with the delivery manager to get it delivered. i’ve even written notes like I am def home and they don’t care

I have them with every single delivery but I agree fedex is the worst. UPS & USPS are like 50/50 if they try or not whereas fedex never tries
Fiona Cielo (she/her) (@fionacielo.bsky.social) reply parent
for fkn real! I have been there watching through the door and they tried to just put a sticker and leave and I opened the door like you’re not even going to knock? to be fair their delivery quota is impossible if they do have to actually get signatures for everything but jfc what is this company

it was misery. I have not met many people who like me stuffed their true self in a vault and donned a mask to stay happy for long. But if you want to experience the truth of money, do it. Every moment is a new chance to turn it all around

Everything we have been taught about being good little corporate capitalist fodder is preventing you from who you really are and what you are meant to do. Your authenticity inspires others to embrace their authentic self. How happy is someone pretending to be something the don’t relate to? for me…
Fiona Cielo (she/her) (@fionacielo.bsky.social)
want to know how to stop feeling like you’re pretending to be a normal human? humor me, but also realize I am being 100% serious. Stop pretending. The things that make you interesting and cool and worthy of people who truly appreciate you are being locked away for approval you’ll rarely get.

In times of feeling alone and outcast I remind myself of two things: what is meant for me is also seeking me, and rejection is a blessing. it is cold comfort until I find the bravery to lean into the trust I have in the timing of my life. then things offer themselves to me
