Progress.

i think this is…actually the most extreme stupid dove nest I’ve seen.

Imagine you're coming home after a long day of hunting, and the first thing you hear is your seven shitty kids screeching at you for no reason, how pissed off would you be, I'd immediately fly away too

Imagine you're the oldest of seven and a fucking HOA member broke into your HOUSE and SHIT AN EGG and is BITING at your siblings, but your dad shows so you try to tell him the problem but you're very little and you don't speak English and he doesn't speak English either so you can't communicate that a fucking GOBLIN is in your HOUSE and the only reason he doesn't know is cause his ASS was on that bitch's HEAD and he must've assumed it was one of your brothers and sisters but it was actually that FREAK WOMAN who got in, and now your dad is flying away 'cause he has no idea what's going on

Imagine you're a parent and you've calmed down and gone to get McDonald's for your seven kids, and you come home expecting to get cheers because you know the D's are always a winner, but when you fly back in through the door the kids are all still screaming, and it's not even excited screams but you don't know what's wrong so you just look into the camera like you're Jim from the Office

Imagine you're one of the small middle children and probably the one that this HOA WITCH was BITING after she broke into YOUR HOUSE and SHIT an EGG and you tried to be a good host by cuddling with her to congratulate her on her egg but then she started BITING and taking over your ROOM and threw out all your GOOSEBUMPS books and your eldest sibling couldn't call dad so you all just had to wait, and then dad comes home but your STUPID FAMILY won't stop SCREECHING to explain what's going on so your dad leaves but then comes back and he's brought McDonald's which is like yay but there is an INTRUDER, and finally your dad looks around the house and notices BITCH BIRD KAREN IN YOUR BEAN BAG CHAIR, and you're like ok dad can handle this but then you learn he's more scared than you?????

Imagine you're a dad and you just got home with McDonald's and WHO THE FUCK IS THAT IN MY HOUSE but luckily you have seven children and the mean one is willing to fight this bitch and you're just gonna chill in this corner until this problem is resolved even if your other kids are straight-up judging you

Imagine you're Kevin McCallister and you're doing Home Alone except you're not home alone 'cause your dad is home too but he's not helping, he's just holding a bag of McDonald's, so you have to be the head of this house at eight years old 'cause you're home alone emotionally but this FREAK ON AN EGG isn't leaving so you decide to screech at your dad and he's more scared of you than she is

Imagine you're a dad and your child has publicly shamed you in front of your other kids and this ASSHOLE KAREN and you decide you're not gonna take this shit anymore so you tell your kids that you paid for this McDonald's with your hard-earned bird money and they're gonna damn well eat this, so everybody stop looking at that side of the house and just eat your fucking french fries but then that fucking MONSTER starts BITING your only child willing to go into battle so you recognize this is a lost cause and throw the burgers on the counter and you remember you're an ADULT so you grab your car keys and fly the fuck away

I didn't see this personally but he's apparently read out the Onion's announcement, which is a fake article by a fake corporation, out loud several times as if it was real. Anyway it should be noted how screwed he is, bc...

...while he can livestream under his own name, they own his warehouses of dubious supplements. He has nothing to sell but t-shirts protesting that his show is going down. Since Infowars was, first and foremost, a lifestyle brand, this leaves him, scientifically speaking, "totally fucked". He doesn't have ads, that's the only way he makes money

Reblogs back open The Onion has taken over InfoWars again

Some very helpful tools, ideas, and ways keep going or get involved

I will add the resource Big Beautiful Boycott as a way of checking businesses to avoid that is not an app

"The Food and Drug administration has approved the U.S.'s first at-home alternative to the Pap smear, a procedure generations of women [and nonbinary and trans people with uteruses] have dreaded and often found painful.

The new device by Teal Health will offer a "much preferred experience," the company said in its announcement, and also aims to increase screening rates by making the procedure more convenient.

Traditionally, gynecologists have inserted a cold metal speculum deep into a woman's vagina to scrape cells from the cervix.

The Teal Wand — "built with empathy," the company said — uses a swab to collect a vaginal sample. Women will then mail the sample to a lab that will screen for HPV (human papillomavirus), the virus that causes nearly all cervical cancers. A growing body of research has found HPV testing to be highly accurate.

The FDA approval Friday [May 9, 2025] follows a U.S.-based study that found at-home screening was just as effective as that done in a doctor's office. The study also found women overwhelmingly preferred self–screening at home, and said they'd be more likely to stay up to date with cervical cancer screenings that way.

Every year, about 13,000 cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed, and more than 4,000 women die from the disease. Rates are down dramatically since Dr. Georgios Papanicolaou published a 1943 paper on how to use the Pap smear for screening, and it then became common.

But about a quarter of women in the U.S. are behind on such screenings, and medical experts say reducing that is key to the ultimate goal of eliminating cervical cancer. There's also a racial gap, with Black and Native American women far more likely to die from cervical cancer than white women. The HPV vaccine for teen and preteen girls, introduced in 2007, has also led to a global push to tackle the disease that way.

At-home cervical cancer screenings are already available in several other countries, including Australia and Sweden.

Teal Health says its self-testing device will be available starting next month [June 2025], in California first and then expanding. It will be by prescription, through a telehealth service, for women 25-65 years old who are "at average risk." The company says it's working with insurance companies to provide coverage."

HPV tests (not at home) are also replacing pap smears in Ontario, along with Quebec making the move, PEI, and Nova Scota planning to move. PEI looks like they'll also be doing self-screening kits.

This might be something we get in Saskatchewan next, because it's one of the big promises the Saskatchewan Party made in their campaigns.

the mule does not allow you to pet it. the mule attempts to bite you.

from this point on, every interaction with the mule is obtuse and difficult. if you kick the mule, it will not go faster. in fact, sometimes it will goes slower. if you dismount, it wanders, and you cannot whistle to bring it to you— it may even intentionally walk away from you when you try to climb into the saddle. you have to always be ready to steer it away from the side of the road if it sees some tasty-looking grass or another equine it wants to pick a fight with. any time you get too close to a ledge, the mule stops moving and you have to dismount and slowly walk it around the ledge by the reins while it screams and brays the whole time.

the only bargaining chip you have is the ocassional bribe of a carrot or apple, and even then, there’s like a 10% chance that the mule will decide that this particular carrot sucks and it doesn’t trust it.

this is not a courier simulator. this is not a mule simulator. this is a begging simulator.

eventually, you run into bandits on the road. they are armed with knives and clubs, and you have neither. in fact, you have very little ability to defend yourself, other than trying to wrestle and shove bandits one at a time. you’re well and truly fucked. that is, until the mule oneshots bandit with one kick. you can’t fight. the mule, however, can.

the mule also has keener senses than you and is a naturally suspicious animal. half the time, it’s snorting and stamping at a tree because it moved weird, but sometimes, it’s stamping because it noticed an ambush waiting for you, or a wild dog creeping in the bushes. it also may be your first day on the job, but it is very much not the mule’s time day. your map is ten years out of date, with rivers that have since shifted and landmarks that have since been torn down and rebuilt elsewhere, but the mule has taken this route countless times. whenever it isn’t pulling towards a tasty-looking bush or trying to fight a barn donkey, it finds the path easily, and will even direct you towards safer passages not marked on the map or shortcuts you wouldn’t know about.

eventually, you run into a scarecrow on the side of the road, and the mule flat out refuses to continue until you walk up yourself to show it that it’s only a scarecrow and not a monster. then, haltingly and complaining loudly, it lets you lead it across the scarecrow’s path and away. after that, it doesn’t get any easier to handle, it’s still a complete monster the whole time, but you can pet it.
