I prefer plain sparkling water. No flavors or sweetener, just bubbles. Unfortunately my bladder doesn't agree that it's the best way to consume liquid, so now I'm dehydrated all the time because I can't convince myself to just drink still water like a normal human

The VA secretary already said a doctor can refuse to treat a veteran if they are an unmarried woman, among other things like atheism or being LGBTQ+. I can only imagine how hard anyone will have to fight for their benefits during this administration

I have a 9 foot cat tower that is tensioned into place against the ceiling. My 14 pound cat flies on and off it like the floor is lava, and it hasn't budged yet

Weird, all I've ever heard about is how high the suicide rate is among trans people, nothing about murder rate.

Also weird to consider "trans rights are human rights" to be nihilistic (Political belief or action that advocates or commits violence or terrorism without discernible constructive goals)

Edit: I meant as in trans people murdering other people. Trans people are overwhelmingly victims of violence than perpetrators

Meanwhile, my previous professor received death threats that they "need to be lynched" for refusing to mourn him. They were also fired for stating they won't mourn him.

edit for clarity

You don't have to take my word when Wikipedia exists :) I think this version must be popular with older folks, I have a boomer prof who writes them as shown in the OP image

The & symbol they wrote looks like a three I guess. It's saying that "two Black men were lynched &..."

I still can't believe they wanted people to send pictures of their arms to prove they are a person of color before posting/commenting. Okay, maybe I can believe that. What I can't believe is that anyone defended it

Wyoming is next to a couple other states with significant Native American populations. The thing about vaccines is there's a lot of resistance in those populations, especially if it's white people administering them. Some of that crowd immunity we expect to have really needs to protect them too, and without it, they will be devastated by white people's policies again.

That's a very simplified statement without much cultural context, but I think it's so painful to blame the ~500k people in one large, mostly rural, largely uneducated state for this when much denser voting populations did too

Wait, he was willing to take Greenland by force for their resources, and now he's giving up America's?? Was he just planning on turning Greenland over to Putin in the first place?
