A lot of clinicians seem to think that if patients don't come back they got betterπŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ...when you are chronically ill, just getting care & explaining your complex medical history is *exhausting*...plus having to fight to be believed that your symptoms are real is *excruciating.*

The IRS budget has been reduced by roughly 20%. Meanwhile, the richest 1% have been able to evade as much as $163 billion a year in taxes. These things are directly connected.

Ignore the fear-mongering. Funding the IRS means finally going after wealthy Americans who dodge taxes.

A Brazilian news outlet is reporting that an on-the-record woman says she traveled with George Santos to the United States in 2011, and that he drained her bank account and pawned her jewelry. https://g1.globo.com/fantastico/noticia/2023/01/08/george-santos-depoimentos-levantam-suspeitas-sobre-brasileiro-que-inventou-historia-de-sucesso-para-ser-eleito-deputado-nos-eua.ghtml?fbclid=IwAR3OX4DOHzij2nTm8mBye-373gdI1n85yWmo2B8r0KGVLuQqk2kTbpECzmo

@dynamicsymmetry I keep chanting "with the right, it's always projection". Nobody's listening. BRB, gonna go file a deed poll to change my name to Cassandra (which is guaranteed to trigger the tighty-righties, b/c Cassandra is a female-gendered proper noun).

I feel like part of why the right is so susceptible to moral panics about β€œthe libs are coming for your X” is that they very much do want to come for other people’s X and assume everyone must work that way.

They want to come for your social safety net, your gender affirming care, your right to not be discriminated against in the workplace, your reproductive rights, your diet, your media, your non-conservative Christian religion or lack thereof, your identity.

In Texas (sigh), new PhD programs are being created at small universities in order to bring in more money to the university from the State of Texas (PhD programs bring in more money than Masters and undergrad). The faculty will not be able to keep their jobs unless their PhD students produce papers. The PhD students are a commodity.

Hello! I'm goomy, an artist and designer from Brazil. I made this account to share some of my work, much like I do on my Instagram (goomydesign). I used to focus on illustrations but this past year I've been almost exclusively doing embroidery and I'm quite enjoying it.
