Rabies is 100% fatal if you don’t get that vaccine AND the US only has enough smallpox vaccines stockpiled for the Armed Forces. We test to keep it out of gen pop cause it’s OVER if it becomes endemic again. Thanks MAGA

@Cr7Godbrand @yvessirae 1. You think that makes it better?? 2. You think there was a distinction between "nagging women" and "challenging male authority"?

@yvessirae It was for nagging women and gossiping women. Not challenging male authority or speaking up you idiot.

Between the 1500s and 1700s, women in Britain, Germany, and Scotland were punished with the Scold’s Bridle—a cruel iron mask that locked around their head, pressed down or pierced their tongue, and forced them into public humiliation. Women labeled as “too talkative” or “disrespectful” were chained, paraded through the streets, and ridiculed. This wasn’t just about keeping someone quiet—it was a tool of patriarchal control, designed to punish women who dared to speak, stand up, or defy male authority. Some masks even had bells so everyone could hear their arrival, turning their suffering into a spectacle. Today, surviving bridles in museums remind us how far societies went to silence women and why fighting misogyny and patriarchal control is still necessary.

#NoKings in the burbs today. 300+ people on our stretch of the #RoadToResistance - people are showing up outside the cities, too! Every voice counts.

Obviously repping my girls today

A reminder that Figure Skating Worlds is this week! Half of the events air *early* so I won't watch much live, but you know I'll be catching up when I can! ⛸️❤️ Many Olympians withdrew (happens every Olympic year) so this is a chance to see lesser-known/young skaters shine 😊

ICE in the airports today

@SkipSandwich And everybody said AMEN

@joremmons Store up your commemorative tote bags in Heaven.

Today my pastor taught that generosity isn't transactional/we shouldn't expect something in return for it: "you don't get a tote bag or anything," he said, "that's just the NPR way." Sometimes the church jokes are meant for a niche audience that literally only includes me 😅

@oceanbullock I need everyone in the comments to familiarize themselves with Victor/Victoria STAT

@GlarkWCriswold @msg00dpuss @esjesjesj It's okay to be dumb sometimes

@msg00dpuss @esjesjesj I saw sinners it wasn’t that good. Sloppy writing

Wait do people actually believe this

@Its____Tyler @mouseabolition Noted 👍

@joremmons @mouseabolition Clearly Jordan you’re the right person to speak about what is and isn’t appropriation of black culture.

Framing this as being a jab at him and not an acknowledgment of her contributions to the history of Black art Sinners is meant to celebrate doesn’t sit right with me at all actually.

@BumpFruck He's literally been making the same "opera and ballet is dead" speech for years, so apparently he doesn't respect them 🤷‍♀️ don't know what to tell you.

@joremmons @mouseabolition He doesn’t respect his mother and sister? You’re just making shit up. Shameless.

@I_Am_Eucheria @yvessirae Point being, "just join a union and you'll be protected" is hardly a thing here. None of the workplaces I've been a part of have had unions.

@I_Am_Eucheria @yvessirae Forming a union is hard - companies fight to stop unions and workers often have to create them in secret bc employers fire anyone caught unionizing. Massive worker strikes to create pressure is usually how they happen, but most employees can't afford to lose pay by striking.

A nurse I used to work with got fired so suddenly it didn’t make sense. She was always the first one on the floor and usually the last one to leave. She picked up extra shifts when people called in sick, trained new hires without being asked, and even brought food for the team during long rotations. Patients would literally ask if she was working because they trusted her that much. One afternoon she got called into HR. Ten minutes later she walked out with red eyes, holding a small box with her things. Management told everyone she had an “attitude problem.” No warnings. No write-ups. Nothing. A few weeks later we found out she had reported a senior doctor for making comments about her body and asking personal questions that made her uncomfortable during shifts. He’s still there. Still respected. Still mentoring younger staff. Still laughing in the hallways like nothing happened. She lost her income, her routine, and the career she worked years to build.
All because she spoke up.

THANK YOU

@I_Am_Eucheria @yvessirae It would seem from your handle that you're not from the US, where most workplaces don't have unions for this exact reason. Employee rights and protections aren't big here.

@yvessirae I am not sure how true this story is, but there is a reason unions exist. Joining a union is a smart way to protect your rights as an employee. If she had been a member, this situation might not have happened—or if it did, she likely would have received a substantial payout.

@DemonessChara Hi, come to Andersonville in Chicago, it's literally an entire neighborhood dedicated to this concept lol

this would make meeting people in the community a lot easier tbh

@sheologian If my husband killed my cat?

@TheGhostofTedd2 @thecindynoir @Infinite_LoveXO I watched it earnestly before the noms came out, having heard nothing but good things about it. It was not that good.

@thecindynoir @Infinite_LoveXO Do yourself the favor of actually watching that movie to watch it and not out of spite or just to claim it wasn't that good.

I need yall to be real with me. Was one battle after another THAT good…?! #oscar

It is done.
