If they care about children
why do school teachers have to buy their own supplies
why is healthcare a for-profit industry
why do they pretend like the planet isn’t being ruined
why are children detained in cages
why do they favor gun lobbies over victims
They. Don’t. Care.
We interrupt this pandemic to tell you about a spy balloon to tell you about a UFO to tell you about an airborne toxic event cover-up to tell you about another UFO

I appreciate that; thanks for hearing and taking the feedback. Sidenote: if the surplus stock winds up in TJ Maxxs and Marshalls and Ross stores across America I’m gunna lose it again.
Fun facts: Lonnie Johnson is a Black aerospace engineer who helped NASA launch the Galileo mission to Jupiter and also invented the SuperSoaker so that his daughter could hose the neighbors AND ALSO FOR THIS

: I’ve been told over & over by major cable networks that viewers don’t want to see a woman hosting a science show. But today I’m meeting up with my showrunner to see the 1st cut of my own science show, premiering on broadcast TV next month. Keep being you.
I definitely don’t want to name names but I’ve pitched one network a few times & they said their viewers “don’t want to hear about science from a woman” & recently said Ologies wouldn’t work for them b/c “they don’t do travel shows.”
Hmm. Bummer.
PERHAPS ANOTHER NETWORK THEN.
Experiment:
RT if you’ve heard a woman you love and respect say negative things about her body.
Then fave if you’ve been upset with yourself for not looking like you think you’re supposed to.
Thread: Lemme tell you about the time I started to get the flu over the holidays so I quickly booked a hotel so as not to infect my sisters’ kids but the hotel was very gross & then I had the flu alone in a gross hotel near a freeway. It was today. I’m eating cheetos. 1/1
no Soundcloud, but listen to this 2-part

w/ Dr. Renee Engeln about how beauty standards effect the mental & physical health of everyone: men, women, kids, LGBTQ+ folks and how it’s costing us money, time & even our lives. She changed *my* life.
Hey there, I’m not seeing my family for Thanksgiving because COVID rates are truly terrifying. I hope everyone will consider sacrificing in-person holidays this year to save lives.
Hey it’s a hard time and if your partner is suffering depression (or feeling sluggish, tired) it’s almost always because they don’t love you, which is your fault. Hope that helps 💖

If you’re still on the fence about 💉but would help a stranger change a tire or catch a neighbor’s runaway dog, think of the vaccine as seriously good samaritan points. It’s a very easy incredibly lazy way to save a life.

had multiple myeloma—a cancer of plasma cells that **makes antibodies**. Thus, vaccines are weaker in myeloma patients because we kill the cells that make antibodies with our myeloma treatments. Please vax to protect others.🧵

Imagine being a *billionaire* — you can have anything you want — and the thing you want is ... to make trans folks feel bad? What a weird, sad waste of your bad life
Just a reminder that you have one body to last forever so you can wear a mask wherever you feel like it and fuck anyone who pressures you to take it off
“Banned” was hyperbole — I just think this logic is flawed, harmful & people shouldn’t make money off of making women feel bad— but Macy’s agrees and is pulling them. General sidenote: speak up for others, contact your reps & vote in local, state & national elections k thanx
Hey. Someone you love is afraid to bail on holiday plans because you might be upset with them, but cancelling this year might save their/your/other people’s lives. So they screencapped & texted you this tweet. Thanks for forgiving them so people can stay alive. They’ll Zoom ya.
I accidentally got upgraded to first class and people here watch phone videos with the sound up and chew with their mouths open and this is not worth it
I worry about not returning emails fast enough and being bad at my job. Meanwhile, a man we pay to run the country just recommended shooting up with toilet cleaner
Hey hot tip: you don’t have to drink at holiday parties to fit in or to be looser or more likable. You’re great as you are and if you don’t want to be there, stay home or leave early & say you have a cold. Anyone who judges you for not drinking has their own issues with it. K bye

buuuut, I’m sure they have more qualified candidates 💅
is it an anxiety disorder or are they criminalizing the identies of the most vulnerable people two years into a pandemic at the launch of world war III
Fellow white people who don’t want to speak up in support because we might do it wrong: there is no such thing as a silent ally. This is America’s fight. Let’s listen. Let’s speak up. Let’s hear how we can support better.

If you nixed Thanksgiving, reply letting me know your fam/friends’ reactions. Disowned you forever? Said “hey we understand, it’s for the best”?
ITS OKAY TO CANCEL, FOLKS

I hate to be This Person, but is that smöl beast taking a roof dookie? Raccoons have regular latrines, sometimes on roofs, and can also carry (I wish I were kidding) brain eating roundworm parasites in their poo. Might want to look into it! IM SO SORRY
Our people want to return to work. They will practice Social Distancing and all else, and Seniors will be watched over protectively & lovingly. We can do two things together. THE CURE CANNOT BE WORSE (by far) THAN THE PROBLEM! Congress MUST ACT NOW. We will come back strong!
Previous residents of my place were Republican so I get weird junk mailers and y’all — that party is TERRIFIED of a big voter turnout and scared shitless of the power of mail-in ballots. Pass it on
Hi I’m on a brand new
