The really unfortunate thing about mental health progress is that sometimes you realize you've made it in the form of "wow, I haven't felt this bad in a fucking while"

On the one hand it's a bit of a pick me up in a dark place to know that this will pass because it has passed before on the other hand sometimes it isn't entirely a pleasant thought to go "wow, I used to feel like this all the time. That was pretty fucking bad. It's pretty bad right now too also."

Someday your current baseline will be the sort of thing you consider A Really Bad Day. It does get better.

It's Christmas time again...annnddd I have nothing better to do than post the same image like I did last year.

hey, if you have a sensor lodged in your arm, read this and make sure it's working OK

I felt like this article had more information and the product name, FreeStyle Libre 3, is right there in the link to maybe alleviate some anxiety or find the right users.

My cat is diabetic and I have to use these monitors for him. I got an email alert from the company about it on November 26. I didn't realize there wasn't an actual recall out yet.

News articles are great but I think direct info from the source is more important here, though all of the stuff above appears to be correct. For something as potentially impactful on peoples' health as this, I think the barrier to getting to the information should be as low as possible.

This is the official website to use to check serial numbers. It has the tool to check and full instructions on locating the serial. There is also an FAQ page.

The email I received also listed a customer service number and an online support page.

Online support, 24/7

Hear me out. Ancestor Persona. But along the lines of "Nanako loves her big brother so much that the idea of him becomes her Persona." Just food for thought.

You too can get the satisfaction of maiming or killing a spy embedded in your organization.

since snap benefits are being threatened i wanna share the single resource i can atm which is the woman behind Dollar Tree Dinners. for years now she has consistently provided filling, healthy recipes that really push the envelope on good meals from dollar tree ingredients. especially since next month will involve lots of family meals regardless if you celebrate the holiday, people should be pleased to know she puts together videos showing how to make a holiday meal on a budget.

Persona 4 but Teddie is an actual bear. Morgana rules. Except when they all hang out in the real world everyone thinks it's a mascot costume.

instead of a human body he just wears his outfit and it works Clark Kent style.

Part 2. I'll get part 3 out... eventually.

YOUR ART ON TUMBLR IS BEING USED TO TRAIN AI!

The setting that prevents your work being used to train AI models is turned off by default! I had no idea about this until now! Artists, go to your settings, click “visibility”, and turn on this setting! Protect your work!

《Made a visual guide of how to get there, because it's under a weird tab.

Go to your blog (you have to do this for each individual blog) and the visibility tab

It's this last option here

Hate this shit, but turn it off babey》

I live in Chicagoland and have family friends who are brown and undocumented. It’s not good here.

I want to specify that the US government ICE agents rapelled from Blackhawk helicopters to take over an apartment building, breaking open apartment doors in the middle of the night to drag barely-clad residents from their homes and detain everyone in UHaul trucks with the children zip-tied to each other. Regardless of citizenship.

There was too much traffic today, and an ICE agent deployed a tear gas canister in traffic in response.

This is not normal.

From the very bottom of my heart: what the ACTUAL FUCK

It’s not even near me yet, but where I live there’s lots of brown folks so they’ll come.

This is surreal. We’re being attacked by the United States.

"ICE Agents Rappel From Black Hawk Helicopters Into Chicago for Major Raid" - MSN, published October 1st, 2025

Most mainstream media is barely covering it.

I genuinely wish I were surprised by that.

Spread this far and wide - there's no paywall.

Remember the people in your life who voted for this.

Remember those who are nonwhite who voted for this. Those who decided to be hateful and racist because a white dude was charismatic in their eyes.

Calculate how many “I told you so”s need to be delivered when those people need your help
