Continues to baffle me that as an asthmatic person I can’t simply walk into a pharmacy and buy an inhaler
Like I just flew to a place and left my inhaler at home - something that costs nothing - and in order to get another one here I’d have to have a prescription even tho I’ve had asthma since age 5 and this isn’t going away.
You can buy a lot of things over the counter and one of them is somehow not an instrumental drug helping people breathe that has no real side effects
being able to say whatever you want without societal ramifications is - and i cannot stress this enough - not a fundamental right
people have been calling each other disrespectful names over their views since the beginning of this country. several of the founding fathers printed publications dedicated to calling each other idiots, essentially.
ruthlessly insulting each other is as American as it gets, that is just the truth. it has ever been thus.
Biden is taking the stage in Atlanta for his speech on voting — lots of activists important to this movement declined to be here today, citing their frustration that this is too little too late.
The speech Kamala Harris is giving now could have been given one year ago, with no changes. As far as I can tell.
Kamala Harris says there is a "danger" of becoming accustomed to these laws, and becoming "complicit." But let's keep in mind that the Texas legislature, and many others, have been restricting voting rights every legislative session for more than a decade.
as many of you know my best life hack is that i pay a graduate student $25 an hour to do random things i cannot make myself do and today her lists includes "fixing the wifi lights in the bedroom, because i'm too old to figure it out."
I love her.
I have also not, and I know this is bad, figured out how to use my own printer because when she is here on Mondays i just ask her to print things
She definitely thinks I'm absolutely technologically incompetent
look in my defense i was only forced to procure a printer during the pandemic and this one was one i pilfered from my mom's office when they sold their building and i'm pretty sure it's from 2007
