So, if you're a POC, LGBTQ+, a young millennial who was preyed upon by predatory lenders, someone requiring an abortion, or a victim of DV, you can go get fucked? Is that what I'm gathering today concludes? Because that's all it feels like. Equality for all, my ass. I hate it here. Yes! I’ve seen the judges and officiants who have refused to marry interracial couples and LGTBQ couples and now it is for sure ok to do so because of old men |

And isn’t it super they do this right when we are supposed to celebrate how great the US is (I’m being super sarcastic if it doesn’t come across that way). |

Fuck this week
I took my petition last week when DD had a wrap up race for her running camp but I didn't ask anyone to sign because there were so many men in 2A shirts (with the A made out of AR-15s)/other shirts depicting guns. I've never seen so many before, especially at a school-adjacent event 😣 I'm in my head about going to the 4th fireworks event but I know I need to rip off the bandaid

So Twitter is a shit show right now. Muskrat is saying that they are limiting the number of tweets people can see a day. Unverified accounts get 600 tweets a day.

And you can't see anything without logging in anymore. I can't have an account because I spend too much damn time doom scrolling and yelling at Gym about the students he betrayed. Elon sucks. |

I kind of really want that celebrity fight between the Muskrat and the Zuckrat to happen and somehow, they both lose before aliens come and zap them into outer space.

I thought it was that people can still view embedded tweets, they just can't scroll without an account. |

I thought it was that people can still view embedded tweets, they just can't scroll without an account. I could scroll a limited amount without an account but maybe because I use incognito mode? It was just enough to get the gist of what is going on, but not enough to actually start doom scrolling. I can't see anything on Twitter now. ldubhawksfanI can still see the tweets embedded here. |

Yikes with a capital yike. Also, note how some of these points are in complete opposition to one another. 🤔

I can see the embedded ones, but can’t see a thread if I need to click on the tweet like I used to be able to. Ok that's pretty much what I figures. I'll try to embed complete threads (under a spoiler tag) if the info is important. And I'm able. Right now things are so hinky I can't always read subsequent posts in a thread or any replies. It's a shame because for all the terribleness, especially of late, it was one of the best sources for actual breaking news and information sharing. But I guess that's the point. It was too effective so it needed to be broken. |

ldubhawksfan - absolutely terrifying. I think there have been a few very deadly heat waves in Europe in recent years due to the wet bulb temps. For those who are unfamiliar with the term: (from wiki)

For those who are unfamiliar with the term: (from wiki) I googled based on your embedded thread and wow. I had no idea a temp so low could be deadly if it was high humidity |

I just read the wiki entry for wet bulb temperature and I'm so deeply lost. Like my brain is a bulletin board of red string and points.

I've seen discussion often of wet bulb temperatures in places like India, which makes sense as it's already known for what and humidity but wow. It hits seeing it in the US too.

The end of June has just been a suckfest the past two years for both personal* and public (SCOTUS decisions) reasons. I can’t remember so many challenges before at this time of the year but I'm going to need June of 2024 to have a seat and behave. *ultimately things worked out fine last year and I'm sure they will again, it's just not needed right now, ya know? |
