Could the star trek creators please please please remove the elon musk (positive) reference from discovery? At this point it half ruins the show

@voxofgod I dunno if it's that or lazy writers that didn't do any research, and I don't know which is worse.

Granted, it was pre-2018 when it was filmed I think but the signs were there (2018 was when he did enough jerky stuff publicly that I was like "oh, he's a giant asshole")

@skinnylatte "In his post, Goh pointed out that while the PPP has nothing against LGBTQ individuals, he will have to take a "firm stance" to maintain the sustainability and long term survival of Singapore due to its small population."

*screams forever*

So help LGBTQ people that want to have kids! there are other solutions to this! Gahhhhh

I give it ~4 months until Social Security payments are exclusively distributed through the site formerly known as Twitter

I find myself hoping for large scale social security interruptions. Like, payments immediately ceasing. It's the only thing I can think of that will wake people up. (And then I hope those responsible are replaced and it's fixed quickly)

I know that won't happen. Payments might get slower, people will have to fight harder for them, a small amount of people will be denied completely, but most will just shrug and go "well, it's not THAT bad"

(Exactly like people staying on Twitter)

@skinnylatte that seems like it would help. Does she sleep on her side? I always feel awful when I sleep on my back (my knees and back hurt)

I don't currently need the machine but my partner is probably getting one soon, taking notes haha

@skinnylatte my big problem with it is it seems so uncomfortable, I toss and turn so much. I feel like I'd get tangled

We put cabinet locks on to keep cats out and cat is big mad

@BethanyBlack one of the last apartments I rented took the whole deposit even though they kicked us out because they were totally renovating the apartment anyway to rent it for more

@BethanyBlack that's really cool! Here in the US we just assume it's gone and if they give it back it's a nice surprise

@BethanyBlack she'll probably just take it out of your deposit anyway I bet 😡

Even in the best work places, it seems like the messaging is "you *can* stay home when sick"

It really needs to shift to "you *must/should* stay home when sick"

Watching sickness rip through my work, causing a lot of time out, and it's entirely unnecessary. We've learned nothing at all from the last 4 years

@thomasfuchs never been diagnosed with ADHD, but I really struggle with this. I bought a cheap non smartwatch that has built in timers for 1,3,5,10,15, and 30 minutes. If I know I need to do something and can't get myself going I pick a time (often just 3 or 5 minutes) and tell myself I only have to work on it that long, and set the timer

Usually, I end up finishing it, or at least getting it started enough so that coming back to it isn't as big a block

@thomasfuchs I think for me the mental block is often something like "I don't know how long this will take, could be HOURS" 😭 - so giving myself permission to only look at if for 3 minutes is an easier ask than asking myself to potentially finish the task

Re: drag bans

It's hard to imagine a more visible threat to freedom than to restrict the clothing we wear based on the (presumed or imagined) genitals we have, yet here we are. Or to say that we can be "obscene" while being fully covered (as women wearing trousers were not that long ago)

Hundreds of years of progress rolled back in an instant

This is so alarming and some people are treating it as a joke still

I'm terrified for the future
