If the next debate doesn't have live fact checking, both candidates might as well put weasels in their pants.
At least that way it'd be entertaining.

I am not Catholic. I am Episcopalian and have serious differences of opinion with the Vatican, e.g. on birth control. Actually most US Catholics agree with me on that.
I am not blind to the failings of out of touch old men in the Vatican. I have fought for victims of child sex abuse.
I am also not a coward, so I don't slander the world's 1.3 billion Catholics or lash out at random Catholics when I'm really angry at the SCOTUS nutjobs.
This reliably causes assholes to think I'm Catholic.
"President Joe #Biden has repeatedly stated that the US would defend #Taiwan."
Oh, that tricky Dark Brandon! Definitely trying to trick China into an invasion.
Same vibes as when the MAGAs see Jan 6 rioters actually going to prison and they won't show up and riot for Trump any more "because it's a fed trap."

@skeletor This you?
Shout out to Jamie Morath for this gem! She has an Etsy if this speaks to you.
(Yes, I have a handsome house panther, and yes, he crosses my path every day, and yes my life was already 💩 so whatever.)

It has been zero days since my cat last tried to eat my hand so actually for some it's not a bad goal.
@kevinrns @Adam_Cadmon1
No, it's a good thought but if anything she's mellowed with age! She's 14 and as playful as ever, but there is less hand eating going on. Her youthful raptor phase was legendary. My friends and family and I all call her "the panther" because she is 8 pounds of ferocity.
I'm pretty sure she's joking, but you never know with the internet. Either way it's hysterical.
I AM A SINGLE WOMAN WITH CUMIN and if you need that to know there's something wrong with me you haven't read many of my toots.

Wow, didn't know who that was. Go figure, if somebody is one kind of POS they're probably a POS on every other issue too.

Also, he's terrified of his own words written on a potato.

Well, I'm done reading about him, please pass the brain bleach. 🤮

Where do I get one??
There once was a bigot from Queens
Whose "empire" wasn't worth beans
He started a riot
And tries to deny it
But everyone knows what he means
Life in America be like... 🌪️ 🔫 😬 🏃♀️
"Even if you aren’t buying expedition-level gear, your closet almost certainly contains #PFAS. A 2022 study by Toxic-Free Future found the chemicals in nearly 75% of products labeled as waterproof or stain-resistant."
A worthwhile read on progress in banning "forever chemicals" used in waterproof fabric and non-stick cookware. This being Mastodon, you probably know these chemicals are a disaster for the #environment and for #health .

I've worked as a civilian doctor on a military base, so I had to fill out an SF-85 at one point. This is a form for people who work in positions of public trust. It cleared me for handling sensitive health info but not anything classified. So, lowest level tell-your-life-story-and-pee-in-a-cup kinda situation. But intense.
Anybody, whether they've done that or not, can sit here and tick off how many times over they'd be in jail if they did the stuff in this article.
Whoa, what? Jezebel is back??
Awesome! 🤯
This was a thought provoking read: once upon a time, just 100 years ago, pedestrian deaths from auto collisions were treated as a totally unacceptable loss of life. Victims, especially child victims, were publicly mourned.
Here's how the auto industry changed public opinion to shift responsibility onto pedestrians. It was one hell of a propaganda campaign, long before social media even existed.

I am dismal at any kind of visual art, but the occasional graphic designer makes me feel good about myself.
The Last Rose of Summer is a true story about corruption in #cancer research. I discovered a cheap, plant-derived drug that could replace some much more toxic (but more lucrative) therapies. #BigPharma got involved and suppressed the research. Eventually I had to publish the story in thinly veiled fiction and survive a bunch of murder attempts."Mary Austin" is a pseudonym, as my publisher forced me to use one. So... hi, I'm "Mary." 🤷♀️
