Does anyone have pics of signs/posters from the early COVID days they'd be willing to share for a new zine I'm making?

This is a bad week to not be able to take allergy meds. I have an appointment with an allergist later this week, and there's a wildfire near enough to my city that my eyes are dripping from smoke irritation.

I have that issue, too. I'll look into that gel.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 111 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Andry José Hernández Romero, about ten years ago, goofy & hopeful.

🚨🚨🚨
URGENT!

Karrie seriously needs our help folks.

She is trapped in a Red State that has already taken steps to strip trans & nonbinary people of our rights.

She needs help for survival, for medical care, for safety.

Start Disability Pride Month supporting someone in our community who needs us!

Popping in briefly to make sure everyone has seen the unhinged (complimentary) Quark cosplay.

That is such a tough decision. Sending your family love.

I needed more rainbow treats, so I made a vanilla rainbow loaf cake yesterday.

A slice of rainbow loaf cake with glaze and colourful sprinkles on top. The cake slice is setting on a small plate with a fork placed next to the cake slice.

Our local Pride last weekend was fun but oh, so hot.

Robin 🏳️‍🌈 @raswrites.bsky.social · Jun 2

At least I'm well enough for Pride. I'm looking into some better masks.

Pride is all about inclusion… but any event without masking is not inclusive of disabled and chronically ill people.

Mask up for Pride! Make it fun! Get a mask chain or colourful stickers.

Now more than ever we must protect one another, and masking is community care.

Happy Pride Month to everyone else who is also chronically ill and high risk and unable to participate in Pride Month festivities because folks won't mask. I see you. Your love is still valid. And to everyone else who can safely attend events this month, please mask up.

Losing @tinu.bsky.social was very tough for me. She was the 2nd Tinu I lost in my life. The first Tinu I lost was my aunt who raised me. She died and was the only family that truly cared for me and loved me. They were both wonderful people that deserved so much better.

If y'all could mask up in public indoor places again, that'd be swell.

This week our household has been down with the second cold in two months. We hadn't completely gotten over the cough from the first cold before this one hit. That cough lasted weeks.

This is my first time voting in Canada, as I became a citizen this past year. I'm disappointed how this election is much like voting in US Presidential elections have been in the past: voting for the lesser of two evils. I don't want to vote for evil. I also don't want Evil in power.

Pierre Pollievre will condemn Hamas but not Israel's actions. Carney wasn't much better on that question.

April Fool's Day, but we only prank the multimillionaire/billionaire classes.

"No one's buying my product and our stocks completely tanked? I'm ruined!"

"Someone made an AI of me, and now I can't access my investment funds/trust fund/etc.!"

Ha ha. April Fool, bros.

Planning my own medical appointments is difficult, because I don't like going out to do other things on days I work. (I also don't drive, so factoring in public transit involves mote energy and time.)

I usually work part-time hours four days a week. For the past few months, however, I've been working mostly full-time hours five days a week, as my coworker is away on medical leave. I have less energy for doing hobbies or other activities.
