If I was a dick to you online in recent years then I apologize.

I didn't know or understand my own limitations but I'm getting a grasp on them. I allowed social media to shape my engagement with others in really unhealthy ways that made existing issues worse.

Not doing that anymore.

Me looking in the quotes and being disappointed

A cartoon character is sitting on the edge of a building. His arms are folded. He has a serious expression.

This is about coral destruction and climate, but it could just as easily be about COVID & its long term harms.

It’s really easy to *not* notice that this stuff is happening, and our leaders and mainstream media seem heavily invested in keeping us from paying attention, but if you didn’t already know how close we are to really bad things happening the second best time to learn is now.

Everyone I know is sick right now with “a bad bug”

Many are lamenting the fact that they were sick not long ago as well

Then they turn around and ask me when I’m going to stop masking

My N95 means I avoid not only covid, but all the other viruses floating around

Masks rock!

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Not only is he calling out chumps but you can literally trace many of the threads in our modern reactionary moment to many of the currents shot through in the writing by the authors listed here. It’s also a heads up.

Any short lived immunity we are getting should be coming safely from vaccines and not from infections that carry post infection risks e.g. like cardiovascular risk.

COVID infection = Post infection risks

Yes, don’t confuse COVID w/ tuberculosis. But do consider that part of TB‘s comeback could be related 2 widespread immune system harm from repeated COVID infections. TB is considered an AIDS-defining illness since it often occurs w/ advanced HIV, wherein the immune system is significantly weakened.

Do not confuse common Covid symptom with deadly Victorian disease, experts warn

Cases of TB are on the rise in the UK 🏥

Trans folks: there was a paper floating around a little while back that detailed how our gender socialization works. Particularly that we often tend to socialize ourselves according the gender role(s) we prefer.

Does anyone know the title, author, or have the citation?

It's a lot of fun. It's also a lot of fun to be really bad at and lose and that's really important. Tekken 8 seems to think fun can only be had when pressing buttons and winning.

BJ 🏳️‍⚧️ @bellamyj.blacksky.app · 11h

Also yeah Tekken is ass. Save your money.

Wow bro whatever. Our dictator gets to be the peace president with the hero's photo in Time because Biden's administration couldn't stop bombing Palestine so people would actually vote for him & he could have credit.

What are your theories as to why nominally 'liberal' people like Simon Pegg and Matt Berry are willing to work with Rowling?
