What’s the best non-Gmail email option? Google is taking the bad path, so I want to figure out my own.

I did fight through the first term. And last year. It feels bleak and hopeless and I’m so, so tired. I will choose the right door, when I can emotionally do it again, but right now I simply can’t.

Liberals have collectively boycotted Walmart for, what, 15 years? I’m pretty sure Costco can survive a MAGA boycott.

Won’t help me much with the crowds in my super-blue-dot-in-a-purple-state Costco, though.

Do Trader Joe’s next, those parking lots suck so anything helps.

If MAGA wants to re-do the election given recent events, I mean. I guess. Ok, let’s do it!

Meredith Grey’s best ‘person’ was Alex Karev and I will die on this hill.

The anonymity of the internet has just revealed the true nature of people. And exacerbated It.

If you can, find a local independent pharmacy. You’ll trade some convenience (website or app functions are usually lacking, hours are tougher) for pharmacists that learn your name, work harder for you, and answer the damn phone when you call.

A bill to break up UnitedHealth, CVS, Cigna and more has been introduced by a bipartisan group of U.S. senators and representatives.

The legislation would force insurers to sell their pharmacy businesses.

It aims to combat PBMs, pharma middlemen who drive up costs.

Wait now you’re gonna do this?

His win is on your shoulders. We all know that. You’ve refused to hold him accountable for years.

I cancelled my subscription over it.

This is too little, too late. Take some responsibility.

We will still use the argument. Ignoring what our own side does while judging the other side on the exact same behavior is exactly how they’ve operated for years. We learned from the best, right? 🤷🏼‍♀️

‘OMG it’s been so long! It’s so good to see you!’

It’s good to see you too!!!

‘You’ve lost so much weight!’

Yes. I have. *blinks*

*awkward silence where they expect me to say more things and I don’t*

I never know what to say. It’s true, and I don’t need to talk about it.

A good point. The right has always been far better and branding and messaging than we have been. At least in the last 20 years.

We are way too tired to fight the good fight with people who can hide behind the anonymity of the internet.

Work across the aisle locally.

I would never, in a million years, leave my daughter alone with a religious church leader. Ever.

Drag queen? Sure! She’s 9 but she loves story hour and asking questions. She’s going want to know how you got to look so fabulous.

The drag queen discourse has always confused the hell out of me. Where is the logic behind ‘here’s a man that wants to entertain while dressing up like a women in an extravagant way, must be a pedo’.

Is it really just as simple as ‘I don’t understand this person, must be a pedo’?

I think you and your guest did an incredible job of laying out where we really are and being honest, without being s or unnecessarily despondent.

Either way, thank you for it.

@dansavage.bsky.social your most recent episode of Sex and Politics I think is one of the best reviews of what happened in this election, and I think it would be highly beneficial for you to make that available to all listeners so we can share that.

Happy to be here! Probably! 😂

I have a 9 year old daughter, who is more like a 40 year old that can’t spell and has the WORST handwriting. She’s my world.

I’m also bi, poly, and finally - at 43 years old - almost comfortable with who I am.

That’s it. That’s me. 👋

I plan to spend the next 4 years neck deep in my hobbies (painting, strength training, reading) and doing logic puzzles to stay sharp. Oh and I’ll probably work a lot, I love my job. I’ve also adopted an emotional support conservative who is helping me understand what the actual fuck is happening.

Apparently this is the happy place on the internet. More puppies and art, less hate and fear-mongering? To be determined. In the meantime, I’m a healthcare IT professional, I love to travel, I’m at the gym most mornings at an ungodly hour. I’m very on trend, late diagnosed ADHD and flare-leg jeans.

Made it to another social platform before someone took my name! I consider it a win.
