I work with refugees. Historian. I believe in humanitarian action, in helping others, in making society better for the most marginalized. Jewish folks are welcomed. Zionists are not.

Shockingly, I can read actual words. But thank you, you entitled, ignorant man. Definitely helped.

A random man Indie internet wanted to insist this was about Android and not Samsung

Women, including those of us with advanced degrees, shocking though it may be, are capable of reading and understanding words and their meaning.

It's so cool that @tmobilesupport.bsky.social can just change my signed contract with them. I'm over these corporations. I do not want whatever "enhanced features" you're going to force down out throats. Might be time to migrate, after all

The tip of the iceberg is what we have seen so far

"I don't think many people are fully aware of how bad things are going to get" is my response to a 60 minutes interview where the proposed "Border Czar" Tom Homan says that Latinos don't need to worry about being split from their families because he'll deport them, too

I want to be clear, the food is killer (he even changed the lettuce to arugula which is an interesting new taste to mix with the other flavors )

I knew this was you:

Concentric rings saying "pocket", "out of pocket", "way out of pocket", and outside of any visible ring "wylin" with an arrow pointing you a dot labeled "you" in that space

I've been carting around old computers and such for years now. Finally got all the harddrives all taken out. One of these beauties is an 80gb harddrive. Another 320. Cant wait to find out what those, like, 7 pictures are! 😂😂

Snap peas with oyster mushrooms and onion. Cooked in chili and sesame oils. Garam Masala, lemon zest, fresh garlic, tumeric, coriander, a hint of cilantro, and a touchier soy sauce and rice vinegar to finish them off.

If watching bad Christmas movies is something you enjoy, I promise that this is absolutely worth the money to rent. Whatever scale you had for bad Christmas movies, this is just otherworldly.

It's fine, just the VP elect defending Elno's support of an actual Neo-Nazi party. All normal here.

So, maintenance is in my apartment because this is what my shower looks like with all the valves off: And the maintenance guy is like "hey, at least you take care of your stuff. Because I have SEEN things at this complex". I'm so glad I leave in a month and a half. I love my area but I can't

If you compare her to any left of center person outside of the US, she is way right if center. She gave uo universal healthcare. Gave up stopping a genocide. Gave up student loan forgiveness. But she did campaign with Cheney. Who, 10 years ago, was very far right wing. Please be remotely serious.

Comparison of politicians in the US vs those in the UK
