Ah, the good Dr. Laura is an actual doctor.

I don't know if anyone remembers the original Dr. Laura radio-show, but she is a forerunner of the ghouls on Fox News. She even has a whole Behind the Bastards dedicated to her.

Yes, fortunately not her. A trans doctor, too.

Well, that is entirely indefensible, but still better than promoting nazis the way Musks does.

I already read it, but thank you :)

You're exactly like me if I read all the time instead of shitposting all the time.

I'm halfway through the first Earthsea book, which, if I recall correctly from the paperback, is no great accomplishment, but I'm definitely seeing things in a new light.

I have an information addiction I feed with snacking doses between tasks throughout the day.

But don't disparage yourself, shitposting helps he fediverse grow.

And nice! Le Guin is fucking marvelous.

I mean, if I gotta take it in the ass to keep numbers up, I'll do it. But only to keep numbers up!

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago

Can't just keep the numbers up if you're gonna do that - something else needs to be up, too.

There's been talk of drafting bisexuals. Things are really dire

I'm straight AF, but I'm down to cosplay for the cause a bit.

So apparently we have a verb, 'transed', but can it only be intransitive?
