Amazing atheist and bad Buddhist

Planned a rollout for no buy Tuesdays and Thursdays when I got to 400 followers. I've been sick AF for months, osteomyelitis (bone infection), then everything else. It will have to wait. Maybe I can get to 600 by then. 😊

  1. The FBI came to my house to intimidate me because I’m critical of Trump.

    And they wouldn’t let my girlfriend take a picture of their badges.

    They had printouts of my posts.

  2. Also destroying the scientific record for a lot of things. Which can never be replaced and will effect our ability to predict things like future climate change and severe weather events, for potentially decades. No other country had some of the advanced systems we did, so that data is irreplaceable.

  3. Also, much like the word "natural" when you see it on packaging, "ultra processed" doesn't have any defined meaning. It's just whole food (fruit, veg, meat, etc.) or processed food (mainly snack food, but also crackers, cereal, bread, anything in a package really). Don't get distracted.

  4. “When, for example, RFK Jr is talking about food dyes, I don’t think that that is anywhere near as important as the fact that 13 million children in the United States do not know where their next meal is coming from.”

    Yeah, me either.

  5. What exactly are "human services?" I don't think you want to know what I think they are. Unless they actually are sex work. No shame in that. I did a little of it myself when I was broke and had an infant that required physical therapy. I couldn't have afforded it otherwise, though I had insurance.

  6. Stuff like this is exactly why we need pay phones. Can we bring the pay phones back? It's too complicated buying a burner phone, you have to hide your face, and pay in cash and who has cash anymore? Plus a lot of them now require ID to activate. Just bring back the pay phones, help the elderly out.
