Why is there a diarrhea parasite outbreak in America?
Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies cut funding to disease prevention and control.
Why is measles back in America?
Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including RFK Jr, cut vaccine and measles prevention funding and programs.
Why is the New World Screwworm infecting cattle in Texas, when it had previously been eliminated from the area?
Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including Elon Musk, cut USAID funding, which in part worked to monitor and prevent screwworm outbreaks.
Why was there a flu outbreak in our armed forces?
Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including Pete Hegseth, cut vaccination requirements for our armed forces, putting all of them at risk alongside our military readiness.
What contributed to the Covid outbreak?
Donald Trump and his Republican allies cut funding to a pandemic prevention program in his first term because Barack Obama had created it.
“America first” sends its regards. Trump voters, please learn your lesson. And if you don’t, it’ll be taught to you again with yet another diarrhea outbreak.
Kinda long rant/vent thing. Sorry if it doesn't make sense.
As a preface, let me begin by saying that I don't mind sharing my things. If I see that the things that I buy are useful to people, that's great, and I'm happy to be helpful. However, what I don't appreciate is when those people decide to get greedy with the things that I buy and start hoarding them for themselves, especially when the people that do it have consistently treated me poorly in the past.
The tl;dr is that my friend's bitch sister who doesn't fucking like me for no reason is more than happy to take shit that I buy but doesn't want to help buy it.
So my friend's sister and her boyfriend (both in their 50s) live down here with us. And this woman does not like me - for absolutely no reason. I've done nothing to her; as a matter of fact, I've tried to be nice to her and bought her things, but she's always so fucking rude to me. Supposedly she's jealous of me for no reason - or so I've been told; she swears up and down that everyone wants to steal her boyfriend, who's been in and out of a job and (no offense) isn't any of our types.
Anyway, they've been taking care of Blossom, the new kitten, and keeping her in their room. The problem is shortly before, they were letting Buttercup (an adult cat who's been hanging around here for about a year) in as well to keep cool and to actually eat, and apparently Blossom hissed at her. So they sent Buttercup back outside and put her back on dry food - which Buttercup doesn't like - and started giving the wets to Blossom.
So I felt bad for Buttercup and started buying canned food for her and kept it in my car, because I knew some bullshit was gonna transpire if I didn't. And also because I didn't think it was right to deprive her just because there was a new baby.
Eventually, however, I got tired of having to go out to my car to get it, so I set it on the stoop near Buttercup’s food bowl and water fountain thingy - that way, I could just pop a can open and set it down for her, then throw the old can away and replace it.
I started with 40, and when I decided to move them out of the car like a week or so later, I had 24. No biggie. I was going at a decent pace.
However, I started very quickly running out because they'd go grab cans. Wouldn't even ask, of course; they just started taking from her stash.
Well, I went to grab some last night, and as soon as I got home, they went out there and helped themselves to six cans for the kitten - who, mind you, is still very small. She can barely eat one can by herself in one day.
I didn't know until my friend came out of her room mad as hell and went to take the cans back from them. (Which I appreciated, but holy shit.)
I come back from my medical shit and am now working tomorrow morning hahaha kill meeeeee.
I gotta be at work at 6:30 am for a 10 hour shift. After having worked three 12s.
End meeeeee
(Ok to be fair, I did just come back from a whole ass week of hurting, so it's not the worst thing in the world. And my boss was cool and tried to get me to reconsider. But I'm stubborn.)
and then there are birds like the tūī, in which the females ALSO serve equal amounts of catastrophic cunt. it's like a woman and a man getting married in matching sequin bedazzled suits and silk bowties.
these two are Bird Flirting. they're endemic to aotearoa, polynesia!
staring contest with f/o. not to see which one of you blinks first, but which one of you breaks. you’re getting lost in each other’s eyes, trying desperately not to lean in for a kiss. you two don’t last long. :)
For those who thought that this was Nintendo baiting people into posting videos for them to take down, (as I initially did, admittedly), it’s actually people posting pictures of YouTube takedown notices. Nintendo didn’t bait anyone...They walked into a metaphorical garden rake.
hey guys never forget that black queer people exist and they deserve the sunshine just as much as white queers do EVERYONE GIVE IT UP FOR BLACK QUEER PEOPLE WOOOOOOOOO🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
i think transfems should be allowed to be good at sports.
sometimes a trans woman wins against a cis woman. sometimes a cis woman wins against another cis woman too. yet only one of them is allowed to win without facing consequences.
it's not enough to support transfems in sports if your support hinges on us being bad at them.
