There are several individuals though. Fitgirl and Empress come to mind.

There once was a fellow named Bobby

Who did serve the most dimwitted lobby

"Give us measles and mumps til we're covered in lumps"

He must love getting paid for his hobby

I had to grapple with my autism to write this, it almost beat me.

So I started oral estradiol 2mg and bicalutimide 50mg about 2 weeks ago. A week in, I started feeling these weird pains in my body. They felt like small stabbing pains that immediately dulled - almost like the pain of getting an injection, and were always in my legs, arms, or chest.

I asked my doctor about it, and he had no idea. He just said they weren't a reported side effect of either med, and the only way to tell if it was the meds was to stop them.

I'm really paranoid about, like, fucking dying, so I stopped my medication 3 days ago and the pains have subsided. I was just wondering if anyone here has shared my experience. I'd like to know what the hell that was, and if it's safe to continue treatment.

Anyone who got a chuckle from this, it's an excerpt from the Fur Trapper Saga, a series of fictional letters of advertisement for competing fur trapping businesses. Every one of the letters is hilarious, and they become more unhinged as PB Fouke and JF Swanton start really responding to each other's claims. Highly recommend for anyone wanting some of that 2007-style forum humor.

It amazes me how country music used to be laser focused on the working class, given the state of the genre now.

I guess that's how music made in a consumption culture inevitably turns out.

To follow up my previous post, I did some research on alternatives to Amazon Shopping to suggest to anyone interested in ditching Amazon. Note that I have not personally read each company's mission statement. AFAIK, all of these businesses are registered as B Corporations.

If anyone has any reasons that any of these sites aren't a good replacement for Amazon (ie shitty business practices), please let me know so that I can reconsider their inclusion on this list. If anyone has more suggestions as well, I'm all ears. I'll be working on an infographic with this same information as well, to be more easily spread throughout social media.

Monetary Protests (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I was sent this by a friend who saw it trending around various social media which I don't use.

Personally, I think it would do good to lengthen the economic blackouts to 3-7 days. But, any coordination helps, and I think the weeklong corporate boycotts will at least send a message.

I'm looking for other places to share this. I checked BuildTheResistance, but I couldn't figure out a way to submit dates for a protest without a link to a site. I have a link for the February 28th blackout, and I would be grateful to anyone that could help me in sourcing these other protests.

EDIT: found the sources! They're all by The People's Union USA. It's just that all the boycotts besides the 28th are tucked away in their FAQs page.

I should say, as well: I think general boycotts are a good idea, and I support the idea of protesting on these dates. However, I don't necessarily trust The People's Union USA. They have a login feature. Don't be so foolish as to make an account on a fucking resistance website.

I find it hard to believe that this was done unironically by right-wingers, every second of it is hilarious. Though I guess Poe's Law dictates it's probably real.

This is one of those videos where the quotes just pop into my head at random in daily life.

Now you look at me, and you look at Samoa Joe...

Turns out they were always asking, "What is a woman?" because they had no idea either.

For as many foolish things Kennedy has talked about wanting to institute, a drug ad ban is not one of them. Kinda awesome, actually.

According to an interview with Brian Henson, the director, when he reached out to Michael Caine for the role, Caine responded, "I'm going to play this movie like I'm working with the Royal Shakespeare Company. I will never wink, I will never do anything Muppety. I am going to play Scrooge as if it is an utterly dramatic role and there are no puppets around me."

The funniest part was when he said he was speaking and asked to be allowed to finish. Then he started delivering his statement very calmly and quietly (for Trump), and it somehow ended with him ramping up for only these words and shouting "SHE WANTS TRANSGENDER OPERATIONS FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS IN PRISON." It's like being at grandpa's for dinner, he starts off pointing out the gas prices are high and one sentence later he's talking about Kamala's communist dictatorship that she modeled after Maoist China.

Why haven't more criminals thought of this?

Imagine you're stuck in space... and your two options for getting home are Boeing and SpaceX. Is OceanGate going to branch out into space travel next? I hope these brave souls make it home safely.
