"Starting masking again in 2025 means I – we – have to confront the fact that maybe we should never have stopped. It’s scary to admit that we might have been harming ourselves and our communities; that our government might not have our best interests at heart." @onqueerstreet.bsky.social

Apparently Neopets has become the most recent victim of the gaze of L*bsOfTiktok and let me tell you as someone who was a child in the early 2000s “Neopets moral panic” is the biggest recession indicator imaginable

I just want to once again plead that it doesnt make any fucking sense how we celebrate holidays. A big lead up, the holiday and then BAM full stop don’t even talk about it until next year. We need like a two week winding down period. Halloween should be allowed to naturally resolve into Thanksgiving

There are weeks where you start to understand why Koshchei the Deathless hid his death in a needle that is hidden inside an egg, the egg is in a duck, the duck is in a hare, the hare is in a chest, and the chest is buried or chained up on the faraway mythical island of Buyan.

One of the things that has pretty annoying is that if you have any kind of bullshit meter, if you have anything inside of yourself that doesn’t enjoy being lied to, the last couple of years of almost every area of public life have been driving you up a fucking wall

trans rights are a winning issue. ending the genocide in palestine is a winning issue. rent reduction, free transit, lower cost of groceries. these are the things the average person can get behind, yet the democrats refuse to acknowledge it

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

Corey Booker voted this afternoon to keep sending bombs to Israel, which is much, much more meaningful and important than a speech about values, even if it did last 25 hours.

my near-daily livestream raises money for two sources: Jo'an, a Black trans woman who runs a support and advocacy group for other trans women in her men's prison; and Ángel, a wheelchair-bound gay musician with muscular dystrophy. i'd ask you to support them directly today. #tdov

But we simply cant let the government shut down! That would mean government workers in critical infrastructural positions would go unpaid or even be laid off, something thats never happened before! Not even repeatedly over the last month at the arbitrary whims of a cabal of losers!
