Her potential voters have to suffer for her racist idiocy because that was the choice she made. Her beliefs, her decisions, and her actions took options away from a lot of people. That's the job she's applying for, one in which she makes those kinds of decisions for about 800k people. I wouldn't hire her.

This only gets funnier every time I see it. Anybody got a line on some small, glow in the dark dinosaurs?

Seriously, who keeps doritos out of the hands of stoners?! It just isn't right

Please don't stop there. We need people to witness this and do like the boycotters abroad are doing.

It's about bullying and exploiting other countries with really high tariffs.

It's about our full support of Israel while they commit a genocide.

It's about our failure to uphold the deal we made with Ukraine to get them to agree to nuclear disarmament.

It's about deciding not to honor contracts made during the last administration, saying that they no longer apply, and allowing the people who benefited from USAID abroad (and tons of federal, formerly dependable paychecks at home) to fall off without even an acknowledgement of wrongdoing, while yelling that anybody who isn't hand-over-fist greedy isn't American.

I've been saying this since he first started campaigning: STOP GIVING HIM STUFF. HE GOES AWAY WHEN YOU STOP LISTENING TO HIM AND GIVING HIM YOUR STUFF.

Me too. It feels like some piece of the Universe slipping into just the right place.

2025 has had a lot of unexpected surprises!

It's like they're not even trying to bring others on board!

This piece from National Public Radio (U.S.) helped me get more comfortable with accepting compliments by giving another perspective.

People complimenting you are giving you a little present without expecting (or even wanting) anything in return.

For years, my trained response was to smile and say thank you. It's good enough in the moment and it leaves you free to ruminate on it later, but sometimes it's enough to interrupt an anxiety spiral.

This post is causing some serious flashback to that asshole labmate who wouldn't allow the phase contrast scope used for endospore counts to be serviced because he, the one out four who used it, "liked it better this way." Just fucking do the proper maintenance on your goddamn equipment, this doesn't need to be hard!

And the subsequent, "You know, this would've been a lot faster and less painful for everybody if you'd explained what you were going for six months ago"

What a beauty queen!

 
 

I started off using different colors because I liked them. Turns out that my brain really likes this style of information organization, and it's helped me a bunch when it comes to learning and sticking with good design habits!

Notebook: Colorverse Nebula

Pens, L-R: Platinum Preppy (fine, Colorverse Brane), TWSBI Eco (broad, Birmingham Pen Co. Lightning Twinkle), Opus88 Mini (fine, Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-budo), and Bonecrusher (medium, Diamine Writers Blood)

Photo description: Stationery items on top of a large desk mat printed with a night forest scene. A Colorverse Nebula notebook is open to two pages of notes and drawings on tips for designing snap-fit joints on 3d printed objects, written in different ink colors. The notebook is surrounded by pencils (a Bic mechanical and Tombow 4H), a plastic pencil sharpener, and a test tube rack holding four fountain pens.

 

I just started playing Curse for the first time the other night, and the gameplay/mechanics have been so much fun. I've tried claws, machete, pistol, and whip so far, but I'd love to hear about which weapon combos or full builds you found the most fun! What all did you like about them?

 

I've been growing for my partner and me for a little over a year now, and have worked out most of the hiccups in my process. Now I'm looking to grow my favorite strain, Skywalker OG. I have no idea who the original breeder was; I was buying it in oil carts made by Crystal Clear out in Washington state, but stopped once the pandemic hit.

I've tried the Mephisto Skywalker and it wasn't the same, so I'm asking for help from the knowledgeable folks here. Please throw your recs my way! My preference is for autoflower (because I am not on top of stuff enough to do photos), but I mean, I have a small second tent...
