The Bachelorette is canceled?
It’s time to play the music. It’s time to light the lights. It’s time to put The Muppets on ABC on Sunday night. 😌

the worst part is that lizzo continues to get fatphobic hate online every which way. and she acknowledged that she is part of the damaging glp1 & weight loss trend. but she is still part of it & it hurts many of us all the more because her proud fatness meant so much to us.

Corporate America has seen year after year of record profits and of course workers didn't see any of it. Now it looks like they all know the party is over.

he’s right. you need to lock in and start buying lots of 700+ page indie press novels in translation to get through the oncoming nuclear winter

People really believe this won’t escalate further, that oil won’t hit $150+, and a global recession isn’t coming. The best time to lock in was yesterday.

The moment we start normalising this instead of chasing it away with torches and pitchforks is the moment we lose art as we know it.

if you want every actress in hollywood to stop looking gaunt then you personally need to start being better to fat people on a daily basis.
what we’re seeing is systemic. it’s laughable to see this hand wringing over thin actresses when most of you call a size 10 woman fat.

I really wish more Americans were aware that the USPS is the only service - the ONLY one - that can reach every home in the country. All other services rely on them for "last mile" deliveries that these other (more expensive!) services refuse (or can't) deliver to!
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
The Postmaster General says USPS might be forced to stop deliveries in 2027 if current trends continue. Postmaster David Steiner says the postal service "will be out of cash in less than 12 months." Steiner has has also been on the board of directors of FedEx since 2009.

It's an anti-masker tactic to claim that if you don't wear a mask 100% of the time, it isn't worth it. Untrue. Every single time you wear a mask, you reduce the chances for viruses to spread. Wearing a mask always improves public health, even if you only do it occasionally.
Vivian@suchnerve
“I don’t want to wear a mask all the time” Alright. Would you please wear it sometimes? Sometimes > never. Like just keep one in your bag, and put it on when you’re in an extra crowded place maybe?
