Welcome!

And in these next 50 years you will eat so many delicious meals, laugh so many times with so many people you love, shout and scream and sing and cry and smile so hard your face hurts. And you will see such beautiful sunsets and feel fresh cold air on your face and feel warm and safe wrapped up in your favourite winter coat.

I wrap this blessing around you like a shroud, so that no ill can find you, and every warmth is held close

Nobody has made me feel safer or more respected than the filthy perverted freaks I was warned about.

Here are the 2024 vaccine recommendation schedules. They’ve already been wiped from the cdc site. Save them and share widely, especially to your friends with kids.

just gonna add the 2025 vaccine schedule from the german Robert Koch Institute (our CDC basically) (source)

I could bloody kiss you, thank you so so SO much

metrical form: dactylic tetrameter catalectic
rhyme scheme: AABBCCDDEE
other notes: Line 1 replaces the second dactyl with a trochee. There is arguably a caesura after the second foot of each line: it’s the point at which the line 1 irregularity occurs and it’s often a sense break.

hello! poem author here. i am in love with you if that’s ok

Holy fuck I’ve been looking for this for a year now thank you for reposting!

should be able to leave kudos on scientific studies. i liked your paper dude keep at it

sorry, Dr. Dude

Dude et. al.

need y'all to know that most academics have publicly searchable email addresses and this not only makes their day but they can put nice emails in their giant packets for applying for jobs or tenure. "hi i read your paper for a class and it was very helpful, im at xyz college and the class is blah with professor blah" is sufficient and ENORMOUSLY helpful

It seems that, once again, when you can't kudos, commenting is the way to go

For those interested in reporting the GoFundMe:

If this doesn’t end in mass prosecutions of ICE agents, then we’ve failed as a country
