(I have been a woman people claimed was in over her head, and I really hate that shit; I can’t remember a time I’ve heard a man described that way.) (Original Jurisdiction) Philip Rotner says lol she is burying this case against Trump, come the fuck on. (Bulwark)

Measles surge in 2024 has so far beat all of 2023. I’d like to thank the Academy, but mostly Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo because fuck that guy. (Weather)

“People used to ask me, ‘What’s your dream job?’ I never knew the answer. I realized it’s because I don’t dream of labor. I dream of living a soft, feminine life and being a hot housewife. It’s as simple as that,” says influencer Kendel Kay (@kendelkay) in a video with 1.6 million views from September 2023.
