  I am begging everyone to start treating their IDs like it's your most embarrassing, job hunt squashing photo: only to be shown to others under duress. Do not show it to anyone who just asks. We need to stop normalizing needing identification for everyday shit. Papers, please societies are nazi societies

  "Zio" is an antisemitic slur coined by David Duke, former KKK Grand Wizard. This term is creeping into left spaces focusing on justice for Palestine, so I beg you to reject this literally KKK terminology whenever and wherever you encounter it.

  *gently grabs the cheeks of all programmers to stare deeply into their eyes* All I want is a dry tech manual. A boring, well indexed manual that defines every function. Not a chatbot. Not a training. Not a million "articles" that I have to search through. Not a "community forum". My rice cooker came with one. I want one for every piece of software I have to interact with. Go get yourself a technical writer if necessary. I. Want. An. Instructional. Manual.

  You can't prove that McConnell didn't die, show up in hell with black mail on the devil, and get the devil to take Graham instead. You can't prove a negative.

  Staring at my basil plant like I expect it to respond: how are you such a thirsty bitch?? Where are you putting all this water?? You got a data center in your roots??

  I can buy any scent of soap I want. I can choose between a million different black eyeliners. I can choose one of thousands of styles of glasses for prescription lenses. So, why are all the disability aid devices ugly as sin? Why can't my mom buy a stylish wheelchair or rollator? Grab bars with pizzazz? Make disability aids stylish! There is no good reason to make disability aid devices depression gray or ennui eggshell.

  Quantum Fiber, I have turned y'all down every time. FOMO doesn't work on me for freaking Internet service providers. I miss the Internet as a public utility mindset that the town I grew up in had. Paid it with your power and water bill and free Wi-Fi all over town. Then Republicans ruined it. I research everything before I change things, and I do not make decisions on my porch.

  Excuse me while I cannot feign outrage at Trump bringing back the firing squad for state executions. If the State is going to execute people, which it shouldn't, it should absolutely be by firing squad. The other options are far more gruesome and painful. The electric chair is torture and was phased out for lethal injection *which is an awful way to die* Legal injection is for the benefit of the executioner, not the human being executed. Often, the cocktail involves a paralyzing age...

  Well, I'm glad I got fed up with buying sponges years ago and switched to homemade crochet 100% cotton dishcloths. https://mstdn.social/@primonatura/116289701485683274 Crochet seems to hold up better than knit even with the same yarn. Use a smaller hook than you normally would for that weight of yarn. I use solid colors for the kitchen and multi colored yarns for the shower. You can do squares for the kitchen and circles for the bathroom. Whatever works for you. Ideal starter proj...

  What's my cat's favorite cat food flavor? Theft. Doesn't matter if he's got the same food as or other cat or not. It tastes better stolen. In the past month, he's earned some new nicknames: Ranch Bandit aka rancho bandito Prosciutto Thief Counter pirate He's old enough that he's been put on a kidney health diet and is now in his yolo era

  I gave my elephant bush plant some fertilizer on Monday, and it's popping out little leaves that aren't immediately falling off anymore 🤗

  People who have never had to rent as an adult will never understand the privileges of homeownership. And it's a fucking problem. Let's discuss. Everything below represents a stressor that renters have that homeowners just don't. I have a 15 day grace period to pay the mortgage. That means less stress getting the payment in on time. I cannot stress enough how relieving that is. I can just fix stuff myself if I want to. If I hate my faucet, I can just replace it with on...

  Should the Great Lakes be renamed as seas?
