PSA for Americans: @Walgreens apparently sells data about pregnancy test sales to third parties, presumably in states where abortion is criminalized.
Don't use plastic to buy pregnancy tests at Walgreens. (Or anything else.) Your privacy and safety is of no interest to them. https://t.co/a3kV5BObSl

All the things that were obviously gonna happen if Roe got overturned are happening, even though to many people they “could never happen.”
Is this normal? People usually report anti-anxiety meds are pretty effective. Is it mostly for low-grade, chronic anxiety as opposed to acute terror experiences? Is there any drug that's real good at suppressing acute terror?

Libs: “Masks don’t cause any issues! They don’t cause any breathing problems! People getting smothered with a pillow is a myth, it’s all just cloth! Masks cure cancer and are like a thousand feet of lead shielding! Back in my day, we wore masks to bed, one over our eyes and three over our noses and mouths!”
The first ten on today’s playlist:
The trans effort to erase women and their existence isn’t inclusive at all. It greatly harms women and is allowing men to overturn the gains of feminism — the actual goal here.
Call me transphobic all you want — I’m still correct, and that’s all I care about.
Fuck the term “birth givers.” Hell/clown world merging.
At least 25% of the reason I listen to country is because slide guitar fucking rules.
My brain just did a hard reset because I’m listening to a song that is switching between French, English and German and it is just too tired to handle that at all.
the particular mindset whereby avoiding covid is something *you* did and deserve credit for, but getting covid is something some other less vigilant bad person did *to* you and you can't be blamed

Those people are fucking clowns. And there are so many of them.
This is a good thread. My favorite part is below. Related to that, I have never in my life been as productive as when I had a personal assistant. I got 3-4x more done. Now, white collar jobs are mostly clerical/bureaucratic work because it “saves money.” Really, it doesn’t, but you can make your little Excel spreadsheets look like it does.
We’ve all been relegated to things the secretary pool used to do. And there’s nothing at all wrong with being a secretary! But it also doesn’t make sense that we’ve all become one so the MBAs can pretend to save money to get their bonuses.
