If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

As an anti-vaxxer & anti-vaccine RFK Jr. is about to be INSTALLED by the spineless GOP Senate in Congress, TODAY would be a good day to get YOUR Covid and Flu vaccines, while you STILL can.

I think the one I watched years ago was the one on HBO.

Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · Feb 12

Sorry, here’s a better link to the 2011 short on HBO.

I don’t remember which one I saw, but here’s the trailer for one on PBS:

It was the deadliest workplace accident in New York City’s history.

Never really wanted to use Apple Maps but turns out it would be the dumbest name change ever that made me leave Google.

That is such bullshit. People on medicaid aren't the problem. Corporate welfare and a broken taxing structure are. We need to return to the tax rates in place in the 1970's and corporations and wealthy individuals need to stop getting a pass. This has been creeping oligarchy!

That building is part of NYU now. I used to edit 16 mm films there. Heartbreaking tragedy. There’s a good documentary about it.

Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · Feb 12

The problem in NC is not the idea of a mask ban stopping them! It’s that public health has failed at messaging entirely and most people don’t WANT to wear them. And vulnerable patients are listening to anti-mask HCW’s and family members. In the biggest and most liberal cities and hospitals.

Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · Feb 12

And how do you think you’re going to change the NC law with this ncga? Again, I have actually worked hard on this with others in my state. What are YOU doing besides talking about it.

Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · Feb 11

Also, I think it’s stupid to condescend to one of the few people actually WEARING a mask and fighting to get HCW’s to mask.

Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · Feb 11

Cops that harass people are going to do it regardless of you wearing a mask. They will just accuse you of shoplifting, etc.

Do you even live in NC? I wrote to every single legislator multiple times, called offices, went on the news and in newspapers. Current ncga is not going to change law.

What are good alternatives to Google Mail? For Mac users. And if everyone has your Gmail, how do you change all of that? One by one?

Google updated its Calendar application, and removed Pride Month and Black History Month from its application. Fuck Google.

Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · Feb 11

That would be great!

Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · Feb 11

The biggest problem is that most people who need to mask are not masking! I’m talking cancer clinics and lung transplant clinics. HCW’s in clinics and hospitals. THAT is the bigger battle, not the cops. In North Carolina.

Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · Feb 11

In North Carolina.

Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · Feb 11

I’m saying they are currently not doing so. The law was intended to target protesters. I don’t agree with the law. Unless you are protesting, you’re more likely to be harassed by average citizens over masking than the cops.

Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · Feb 11

@andria.bsky.social good to see you here!

Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · Feb 11

Haven’t heard about any groups trying to overturn it. I was part of groups to get medical masking allowed. R’s are too busy loosening gun laws to bother with masks.

Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · Feb 11

I mask every day in NC. While I’m a WW, I’d say that Black women are the biggest group masking. I have not heard of anyone being arrested for a mask. I follow ncpol closely.

Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · Feb 11

Are you trying to discourage masking in NC, because that’s all your post does! Cops are going to target protesters whether they mask or not. They are not going after you at the grocery store or your dr’s office.

Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · Feb 8

Masks are still legal for medical reasons in North Carolina. I helped make them legal!

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake

The rush to destroy things like USAID and other agencies before lawsuits can stop them is to make it moot. When our stupidly slow judicial system finally moves to stop them it will be far too late. If all 10,000 USAID employees are home and projects abandoned it’s done. It’s evil.
