I'm in love with these peonies 😍

The Federal Communications Commission voted 3-2 along party lines on Thursday to restore net neutrality. The move fulfills a promise made by President Joe Biden in 2021 and effectively restores regulations put in place during the Obama administration.

“In our post-pandemic world, we know that broadband is a necessity, not a luxury,” FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel wrote.

It's frustrating that I could 100% quit my job and be unemployed and work on my art and then be a working artist once I have some work to show for it and be self-employed, EXCEPT that I need good quality health insurance that includes my doctors and medication etc because I have crohns disease and take a specialty medication. Like it's frustrating that the only thing stopping me from doing the Artist Thing is not money, unlike most people who want to do the Artist Thing, but instead the fact that the good health insurance is employer-provided only, and I can't work a full-time job and work as an artist at the same time. I can't LIVE because I need to work to have access to my medication that helps me survive. I can't let work become my life like everyone else I work with, and yet I'm too exhausted to do anything but, and I'm so low on spoons all the time I can't even socialize which others manage to do even when they're workaholics too. And blah blah everyone's dealing with capitalism and work blah blah but I can't do this, I can't let this be my life, and yet I have no choice, people with no money I see them risk everything to pursue their dreams, I can't because I'm terrified of being sick, of not having my medication, of ending up in the hospital again, of being in pain, or dying, it full-on is my nightmare and if this medication can keep me from that then I will deal with this but gd I don't want to, because I want to make art.

i learned about Tim Wong who successfully and singlehandedly repopulated the rare California Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly in San Francisco. In the past few years, he’s cultivated more than 200 pipevine plants (their only food source) and gives thousands of caterpillars to his local Botanical Garden (x)

ok but what if i

how?? just how?

Refreshes tumblr repeatedly like it will magically summon new posts bc I'm Bored

No clue what has bothered all of our stomachs. Could it be:

- the matzah brye for breakfast, somehow?? (It's just water, matzah, and egg, in a pan with margarine or butter ig)

-last night's chicken somehow not being done despite thermometer reading 165°f?? (Maybe the thermometer went thru and was touching the pan instead and getting an inaccurate reading??)

-last night's desert fudgey brownie thing from box mix? Still? It did earlier but to suddenly be bothering us again?

-mystery??? A stomach cold???

this does not apply if you wear exclusively leggings. Those things tear all the time you need like a million on standby

I don't want to be like 'you won't do it how I suggest so I'm not going to help you' but I have no clue where to start or how to help if she won't do things that will let her make any progress with her project at all, and it's just overwhelming and frustrating, mostly I want to grab any books I like while we work, but I'm not sure how to help so I'm just hanging on tumblr instead. She will either figure out how she wants to do it or she will accept its not possible without using boxes...

And since she announced yesterday that we were going to do this today if I want to help her with it, I didn't really do anything else with my day except play around with clan allegiances and family trees for my au, and some dishes. I mean I know dad was feeling eh before so she didn't want to go out to get the boxes earlier or leave him alone up here while we would be downstairs, but also I am here today, so she could have gone and gotten the boxes while I kept an ear and eye on him...

Ma wants to go through all the books she has from teaching, but she doesn't want to go buy file boxes now bc it's already 4pm but she also doesn't want to use larger boxes Or smaller boxes, but she still wants to organize it. But the desk and the sofa and the bookcase in her office in the basement are all covered in piles and stuff, and there's not really anywhere else to Put things to organize them, she wants to put them back into the bookcase but then we will find something that belongs to that set over there and won't remember where we put the rest of the set anymore by that time. If we put them in a box until we're sure we've found all of that set, then we can put them back in the bookcase together! Or at least make piles somewhere where you can easily tell which books are where. The plan is to separate out everything donateable from keepable and tossable books... and to do so she wants to organize them.

I'm really not sure how she's going to accomplish anything

CJ The X on Perfectionism

fatphobia and ableism is so insidious. You can look up like, food, and it'll say "eating a lot of food causes diabetes" and you're like oh dang what? I thought we didn't know the cause of diabetes. So you look up what causes diabetes and it says "we still don't know what causes diabetes" bruh they're just making shit up to give people eating disorders

One for the legend himself 👏
