As someone who would rather cut off my own limb than talk on the phone, I do not say this lightly. Now is the time to conquer our phone anxieties!

Amongst huge cuts to social programs that benefit millions of Americans, like medicaid and SNAP, the Big Beautiful Bill also includes provisions that will cut billions to student aid, cuts to the Federal Employee Retirement System, cut funding for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and ban states from regulating AI for the next decade.

This will add trillions of dollars to the debt, and all to pay for tax cuts that benefit the wealthiest in our country.

I'm keeping an eye out for heat stroke in my area and I can't figure out what a full body flush would look like on dark skin since all the pictures are just fake training pictures. Anyone have video/pics of a heat stroke flush on black skin?

Friendly reminder that AO3 is fighting AI data scrapers on behalf of all fanfic writers!

According to the post below, AO3 issued a DMCA takedown after finding out that all works before March 2025 were scraped and uploaded as a dataset to potentially train AI. The ability to take legal action against scum like this is the direct result of people donating to AO3 so they can keep functioning and they don't pocket any of it because they are a non-profit organization.

So when you see the AO3 donation drives, please remember that this is what the money is going toward and support it when you can!

We're not shopping at Target folks. How we spend our money in a system that requires us to endlessly consume is a solid tool to lean in on. I don't think that the current administration actually cares about "the economy" in the way that past ones have, but I can tell you that Target's shareholders and c-suite REALLY care about how you spend your money.

Lilia just sacrificed herself to save her coven from the Salem seven... god.. and to end it all off, "I loved being a witch." I'm SOBBING. I'm actually DEVASTATED. I'm so thankful to marvel for not showing us her death. This ending scene is so beautiful. She finally gets to see her family.
