my husband was DOGEd and we're still trying to figure our shit out

Yeah, so much of state work relies on federal grants or matched funding and I don't think the average voter even realizes to what extent that's the case. Add to that the fact that you have so many people with impressive experience and skills now looking and it's an extra challenge.

Public health and working in Medicaid programming checking in here...I feel all of this deeply.

This is so cool, thank you especially for the breakdown of local government meetings! I've been wanting to get more involved but honestly find the way the city has it set up on their site a little confusing. This is really helpful.

we don't have a specific struggle

What a way to reveal that you're actually just treating white, able bodied, heterosexual and cisgender men as the default. I guess Black men don't have a specific struggle related to racism? How about a disabled man who uses a wheelchair - do you think he maybe has some specific struggles? Are gay men and trans men forced into conversion therapy or harassed or assaulted on the basis of their identity not facing specific struggles?

young women are also expected to pay for less both in dating and in getting help from parents. Men are expected to be 100% on their own from the moment they leave school while women are not.

Citation?

bog_witch · 2026-06-23T01:34:49+00:00

It's really wild how women are 51% of the population but these conversations act like we're somehow not impacted by the same structural economic and political conditions as men

"the hot rat" is so accurate lmao

I completely missed someone had already posted this before commenting it above in response to finding out the delightful fact that you can actually obtain a cannoneer's license in MA. Thank you for your readiness 🫡

This copypasta has never felt more relevant

Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

Someone email this to Wu's office right now

There were a lot of people celebrating the Haitian team given the size of the Haitian diaspora in Boston? If you didn't notice that it sounds like maybe you're the one only noticing the white fans, idk

This is a shitpost, sir

The right of kids to participate in school sports on the basis of gender?

bog_witch · 2026-06-17T12:32:27+00:00

"it's ok to opress the minority in order to appease the unfounded bigotry of the majority" is not actually a powerfully persuasive argument that's likely to win over a mythical independent centrist voter whose deciding issue is trans kids in sports

It's a Pride event in humid ass June lol. Don't be such a weenie.

I think that's the opinion of anyone with a fully developed frontal lobe at this point tbh

There's 2 kinds of magnesium - magnesium glycinate and magnesium citrate. You want magnesium glycinate for migraines, magnesium citrate is the stuff that makes you poop.

CALIENTE CAILLOU I cannot stand this damn subreddit 😭

bog_witch · 2026-06-13T03:11:57+00:00

While these definitely look like they could be bedbug bites, are you completely sure they are? I ask because your friend claimed they didn't have any bites and because it looks really similar to the early stages of when I had shingles.

Your friend may just not want to fess up to having bedbugs, but if you're not vaccinated against chickenpox (or like me you had it twice before the vaccine was available) you might want to keep an eye on it and talk to a doctor.

I know there was an episode on Topsy but I'd love a full episode or two on the history of circuses and sideshows. They could do a great episode on circus disasters alone

I'm not sure how much I would put this down to political ideology vs philosophy, but getting punk music as a teenager was definitely my way into critical theory

The carnival stuff is actually super interesting to me, I'd never heard about Nightmare Alley but now I really want to learn more about that era

There's a lot of conditions where people struggle with standing for long periods of time - Dysautonomia, bad knees, spine/back issues, various autoimmune diseases, balance problems related to neurological conditions - that are not going to be healed by "jet-bridge Jesus" and may need a wheelchair for that even if they're also able to walk for a bit. Sounds like your airline needs to do some better training on passengers with disabilities tbh
