Yeah, I'm in the process of petitioning my husband to find what Trek we like elsewhere & cancel Paramount.

At this rate, we'll have zero streaming services by next year lol.

Discovery contained "little to no science fiction"?! Did they watch it?

Discovery has a freakin' mushroom SPORE DRIVE. I suspect they don't know what science fiction is lol!

Right? I am not living in fear, I am living at home with my husband and three cats.

We're not capitulating to the social police, and we don't get the flu anymore. Bonus!

I’m very very tired of “living in fear” being lobbed at maskwearers by people who frequently say they can’t wear one because no one else around them is.

Living in fear is ignoring science and endangering lives and your own health because you’re terrified of not fitting in.

Yeah, most of our allyship is generally very shallow, like makeup-thin, and only usually improves when we are personally hurt by things...

But by then it's not allyship anymore, so much as survival, and people can be more prone to hurt others in survival mode 🫤.

Meanwhile the discourse on bluesky is that it’s hysterical and unreasonable to ask folks to mask in public because it’s uncomfy.

Get over yourself. Mask up.

Doing so slows the spread of illness, reduces hospital overwhelm, improves access to public life, shields those with less resources, etc.

According to a state epidemiologist, "CDC personnel who normally share information with state officials during outbreaks have been eliminated."

“One veteran researcher who still has his job (and, like other public-health workers I spoke with for this story, requested anonymity for fear of losing it) told me he believes that Kennedy’s ultimate goal is to “silence the scientific voice of career CDC scientists.””

It would not surprise me if this entire video were made with AI.

I put D'Angelo in a class with Terry crews and Brendan Frazier as men sidelined by patriarchy, which is the minority case for sure but a way to speak to men and boys about the dangers of limiting views of masculinity.

Thank you! I do have a pretty great golden milk recipe.
Maybe I can talk my husband into making some for me ☺️

Back still out.
Watching Outlander.
Drank my matcha.

At least I can walk around without my walker today. We celebrate small wins in this house 🥳.
