#PSA:

Buyer doubly beware: amazon is fighting efforts to make them recall faulty/dangerous shit they sell you.

Please mark the use of "unconstitutional" as a synomym for "corporations should be able to do as they please, and consumers should have no rights"

The Verge · Amazon is fighting the government’s efforts to get it to recall hazardous productsBy Emma Roth

Hey, I found this really cool trick to find out if someone is into you!

Ask them.

*Literal conversation from yesterday*

Alice: Hi, it's Alice from the deescalation training.

Instructor: ❤️❤️❤️❤️ so wonderful to meet you

Alice: Likewise 🩷

...

Alice: Quick question so my brain doesn't keep poking me about it: are ❤️ flirty or friendly to you?

(I'm happy either way 😉)

Instructor: Hope your brain wasn't too pokey all night! They could go either way, I'm looking forward to that drink to find out ;)

Alice: Perfect. Ttyl 🩷

Poof! It's like magic 🪄🐇

Though I may have taken the wrong message away from the deescalation training 😅

A great way to protect yourself from STDs is to ask potential partners up front about their vaccine records and for a recent STI panel.

If they don't have them or are unwilling to get them, then congrats—your pre-screening just saved you from a Sexually Traumatizing Dipshit.

Talk about responsible disclosure, boundaries, and expectations *before* that blood gets rerouted to a different organ.

@ai6yr on a related note, I just found this on BlueSky. It’s fabulous. If anyone has a question about what to say to the cops, there’s a good chance this short video answers it:

Viele Jahre war die Auflösungsgrenze für #PSA ( #Prostata Spezifisches Antigen) bei 0,03ng / ml. Bester Wert den Mann erreichen konnte war <0,03 (ohne genauer zu wissen wie viel kleiner als 0,03 es wirklich ist). Jetzt setzt sich in Laboren langsam eine neue Messmethode durch die 0,01 noch sicher auflösen kann... Nach der Methode habe ich 0,02 - nicht schlecht, wenn man bedenkt, dass ich unmittelbar vor der OP 78,00 hatte (Alarmstufe Rot beginnt ab 4,00)

#PSA for those of you who have been (or will be) fired from the federal government or some other job: If you have kids in college whom you're paying tuition for, contact the financial aid office and ask if there is anything they can do to reduce your financial burden for the current semester due to your firing, and what you need to do to maximize financial aid for next semester.
Both of my kids' current colleges helped us out when I asked.
It doesn't hurt to ask.

Do not hide yourself.

Be playful and childish, giddy and fearless. Cuddle your plushies, embrace your own softness.
Be calm and collected, firm as a rock. Soothing with an outstretched hand.
Be nerdy and talk about your interests. Loose yourself in the vastness of knowledge.
Laugh and cry as much as you need, stay in your cozy home or go on adventures.
Do everything and nothing at your own pace.

Go crazy with colours or choose the darkest black. Mix, match, thrift, trust your own way of living.
You know yourself best.

You deserve to live your best life.

You are not alone.
You will find your people.
I promise.

#psa If you've been fired as a govt employee that opted into Fork-in-the-Road, you need to opt-in again immediately.

#federal #federalgovernment #federalworkers #ForkInTheRoad #firings #musk #doge #elong

Read and opt-in again. Boost please.

Laura is part of a group of federal employees across multiple agencies who were suddenly fired last week due to their probationary status, despite having accepted the offer from a government-wide email titled "Fork in the Road."

... Neither the White House nor the federal agencies have publicly disclosed how many of them were laid off, and within that group, it's not clear how many people were mistakenly terminated despite accepting the "Fork in the Road" offer, which about 75,000 workers did...

Some federal workers have since been contacted by their agencies on their personal email and cell phone, informing them that they still qualify and need to opt-in again by Friday. But they worry that others who were terminated will slip through the cracks, unaware that they can still qualify for the deferred resignation program.

#PSA

#DonaldTrump is allowing #ElonMusk to take over the US #Treasury and the #IRS for the purpose of accessing your personal information.

Why?

So they can use your information to impersonate you and #vote in your place in the 2026 #midterms & 2028 #PresidentialElections.

That's why he said that once he's president, you won't have to vote anymore

#America is dying, People.
The #Dictatorship has begun.

Whatever must be done to preserve your #Democracy must be done now.
