My tattoo artist told me his teenage son came out to him as trans by giving him a bunch of blue cupcakes and a greeting card that said "it's a boy!"
"That's cute," I said.
"It was NOT cute!" he snapped. "I thought he was pregnant."
When I was a little kid I didn't like conversations with grownups cause I never knew what to say so I mastered the art of producing chitchat directly from my ass and now I'm an adult who can't shut up

[RUINING THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT REAL] i am playing. With my touys
Sometimes I hyperfocus so hard on something, I forget I’m a person until someone interacts with me. I feel like some wild animal seeing a human being for the first time. I’m like “oh yeah I’m supposed to speak and stuff”
Me: *doing something for hours on end without stopping*
Someone: Hey, are you there? I was just wondering if you’d like to-
Me:
I haven’t been able to get the full video but we just celebrated one of our steam locomotives turning 145 by chucking a chocolate cake into her firebox
So I know this post is from 2018, and I’ve gone on and on about it haunting me (it does still, and I don’t even work there anymore), but I think all these years later and so close to her own birthday, she deserves to be seen for the gorgeous locomotive she is.
She’s beautiful, we adore her, and she’s going to be 149 this year! Happy birthday, lady!
she’s now 150!!
WE MUST SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THIS BEAUTIFUL TRAIN
so true

pro-abortion. pro-divorce. i believe we have the god-given right to give up
when people go after no-fault divorce or abortion what they're really doing is trying to enshrine the sunk cost fallacy into law
it sounds like a joke but this is a genuine political belief of mine. you should be able to leave a situation you don't like. the government has no business trapping you in a relationship.
quitters rights!
what do you mean the CDC just announced a deadly e. coli outbreak linked to mcdonald's quarter pounders
october 22nd, 2024
the united states centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) has linked a deadly e. coli outbreak to mcdonald's quarter pounder burgers.
right now, 49 infections have been linked to this outbreak. this includes 10 hospitalizations and 1 death. these numbers are expected to rise, and only represent infections that have been linked to this outbreak. the CDC expects the true number of infections to be much higher, because most people recover from e. coli without medical intervention within around a week. and it can take weeks for a confirmed case to be officially associated with an outbreak.
it typically takes e. coli 3-4 days after exposure to cause illness. in some cases, such as those already associated with this outbreak, e. coli can cause death or disability.
so far, the cases associated with this outbreak were from september 27th to october 11th, 2024. infections may have occurred before or after this date range.
the ten states with confirmed cases so far (this list might expand, do NOT rely on this list to keep you safe): wisconsin, oregon, montana, wyoming, utah, colorado, nebraska, kansas, missouri, iowa.
mcdonald's has pulled the ingredients for quarter pounders in some states while they investigate, and quarter pounders may not be sold in those states for a while as a result.
as with all foodborne illness outbreaks, if you think you are affected by this, talk to your healthcare provider. even if just to record and report that you got sick.
as of when I am posting this, it is not yet known for sure which mcdonald's ingredient is contaminated, but the FDA thinks it might be onions. there is currently no list of which specific mcdonald's locations received the suspect onions, or what other restaurant chains, if any, also get their onions from the same source.
this outbreak investigation is ongoing and moving quickly. there will be better answers and more information soon.
at the pharmacy
[ID: a short comic. A pharmacist looks at their screen, which reads "Mason", "24 years", "male", and "can drive?" and says "i see i see". They then ask the person in front of them "and have you taken estrogen and spironolactone before?" The person in question has long wavy hair, thick eyelashes/eyeliner, a cropped t-shirt over long-sleeved fishnets, a spiked collar with a heart on it, and breasts. She says "yeah". End ID]
If the glass is half-full that means someone ran out of juice. Sad! :( but if it's half-empty that means someone got to enjoy delicious juice and there's even more left. Yippee! :)
