The administrators have been MIA for at least six months, so at some point it's likely to collapse, possibly suddenly.

Planning to move over to https://thepit.social/ today before zirk.us completely implodes. If you never see me again, it's been swell.

If you're looking for a good cause, my friend Robin runs a reproductive health clinic in Alabama, and they're struggling to keep the doors open until grants kick in in 2025. If they close, their patients will have no options for extremely basic reproductive care. They need $100,000, and they're 20% of the way there: https://givebutter.com/wawc2024end #HealthCare #ReproRights

My dad was a hammer-swinger, so my views are probably colored substantially by growing up in a very blue collar family.

I guess I think of "working class" as being "blue-collar" jobs, but maybe I'm wrong.

2024-08-20 22:39:45 UTC

Last night, one of the speakers referred to Kamala Harris as having come from the "working class." It's true her parents were divorced, and I'm sure money was tight, but they were both academics.
Am I wrong to think that's not "working class"? I might be! It just struck me as a really odd way to describe her.

Someone called me from a Delaware number:
Me: "Hello?"
Delaware Number: "Is Amy there?"
Me: "This is she."
Delaware Number: "Hi, this is XXXX from the Kamala Harris campaign ..."
Me: (Hangs up.)
(I figured they were calling to ask for money, but what if they actually needed something?)

Southeast Asian of some sort. I don't think they specify a country. I thought it was Thai, but could be Burmese.

It pisses me off when people criticize Simone #Biles for withdrawing from the Tokyo #Olympics. SHE WAS IN DANGER OF BREAKING HER NECK IF SHE DIDN'T. It wasn't solely an issue of "mental health." It was an issue of getting lost in the air and not knowing which way was up. https://www.today.com/health/mind-body/what-are-the-twisties-rcna159106 #gymnastics #twisties
