Clear Blue has a pregnancy test for 6 days BEFORE your missed period, which might just give you enough time to get an emergency abortion, in some states.
Kudos to Clear Blue, and shame on the GOP for making this necessary.

@DEDGirl @hannu_ikonen For a lot of people, they have to learn the hard way. If it doesn't effect them or someone in their immediate circle, then it's not real.
But as soon as it does, oh the outrage! Why hasn't someone DONE something about this problem they themselves didn't care about the day before!

@hannu_ikonen My money's on Bird flu.

@bouriquet @gwaldby They will round up anyone they don't like, and mass deportations without a country to deport them to results in death camps.

@julescelt01 @ai6yr Assholes have been sending texts to black people telling them to be prepared to be rounded up and sent to slave plantations.

@dalias @kongakong @Npars01 @Gargron Actually, on reflection, yes, this is their weakest spot. Thiel and Musk are going to fight for power.

@sam @samfromtheus Say drivers should be able to easily see a 5 ft tall pedestrian when they stand directly in front of the vehicle.

@tchambers I thought you had to be in the district the judge is in. I wonder what legal slight of hand he's doing to get this.

FWIW, I've voted for Kamala Harris in every election I could, and I've never been disappointed.
She and I grew up in the politically savvy, multicultural Bay Area only a few years apart and I feel like her political arrow points in about the same direction as mine.
She absolutely has my support.

@w7voa So Biden, not masking, caught then spread Covid.🤦♀️

Discovery of the week:

100° heat makes hot flashes worse even when you're sitting directly in front of the AC.

Not the Onion.
And it underscores the dangers of the Chevron ruling. Judges are not experts on anything except law. (And even then)

@drwho @RickiTarr How did I miss that?!?

@joannejacobs @aral I guess she would know.

It occurred to me today that even though over 1 million Americans have died from Covid, we have no national memorial or national day day of mourning and how the powers that be have decided to memory hole the whole thing and how wrong this is.

@msquebanh You're so amazing!

@thomasfuchs "Legally killed child" is the definition of evil.

@HistoPol Hi, and thank you. I didn't bring any followers with me, Mastodon has just been very welcoming to me :)

Hi everyone! It’s me, here in exile from the bird site. I tried tumblr, but while it’s fun, it’s too non-linear to keep up with the news on. I’m here for now. Hopefully this’ll work out. Follow back for curated news, topical events, loads of open minded, progressive, civil rights things, art, geek culture, and occasionally recipes.

@aniltj @pluralistic They also acquire startups only to shelve their tech innovations. I know someone who used to do startup acquisitions for Microsoft. 20 yrs ago they bought a startup that found a way to make computers unhackable. They were so excited about the tech and how it would help. Microsoft shelved it. They don’t do acquisitions anymore.
