“I have an extensive blog where I rate khakis” was gonna be my joke about what else this person does but it’s significantly less troubling than LinkedIn influencer

At the very least I know what they do, you know? Wear pants for extended times.

Yo @katesloan.com you’re one of the folks I know in this area, know anyone who needs a fitting?

Everybody who said they wouldn’t mind; I fully expect y’all to come to The Rack Shack Brooklyn to be fitted by yours truly; no body-shaming; and I’ll hook you up with a sweet discount✨

Ladies, Theydies, and Fems:

Would you feel any type of way getting a bra-fitting by a queer woman?

These days, Burns rarely mentions anything personal online. She doesn't post photos with identifiable geographic landmarks. There are no pictures of her kids, nor does she ever mention their names. "My kids aren't allowed to have social media, but I've already drilled into their heads that they should never publicly identify themselves as my child," she said.
"Think about that. How sad is this world we've all created?"
Here we are, writers who believed in the power of sharing our stories, teaching our children to hide their connection to us. The openness that once felt revolutionary now requires constant vigilance about what we reveal.

I’m 6’ precisely and I have yet to experience anyone getting horny about it ☹️

meliss-AAAH! @mel.bzky.team · 2d

my core strength is the fact that im 5'11''. too tall to feel short compared to anyone but too short to be so tall people get horny over it. my mind is like a small steel sphere. in terms of focus its like doing 20.000 consecutive years of semen retention in a cave on the tibetan plateau

It’s Indigenous People’s Day. Today, I honor my great grandfather, Cre. His mother, a full Cherokee, was wed to a German immigrant with land. They had two children, then the man died. His family dispossessed Cre’s mother; they were forced out of their home in early winter. With no where to go (1/11)

They were warned by the SARS Commission 👉nearly two decades ago, before COVID even happened👈, and they blew that off, and ignored it.

Journalists!

Take a look back at whether any of those signatories expressed opinions about the SARS response.

🧵:

Mark Ungrin @mark-ungrin.bsky.social · Dec 9

Vol 3., Ch 8. To reiterate, this is basic knowledge from 2006. Every IPC and public health professional on the planet had free access.

Note IPC's made-up "3-foot rule", and the need for respirators (even with acceptance of the general ignorance of IPC professionals around airborne transmission).

Respiratory Protection: A Fundamental Worker Safety Issue The real problem during SARS was not the N95 respirator or fit testing but deep structural contradictions in worker safety in the health care system. This included both embedded resistance within the health care system to worker safety experts and to the Ministry of Labour and Ontario’s failure to recognize, as an aspect of health worker safety, the precautionary principle that reasonable action to reduce risk, such as the use of a fitted N95 respirator, need not await scientific certainty. There were two solitudes during SARS: infection control891 and worker safety. Infection control insisted that SARS was mostly spread by large droplets which do not travel far from an infectious person. Given that case, in their view, a surgical mask was sufficient to protect health workers in most situations. Worker safety experts said workers at risk should have the higher level of protection of an N95.They said not enough is known about how SARS is spread to rule out airborne transmission by much smaller particles, and besides, hospitals are dynamic places where unforeseen events and accidents can always happen. Infection control relied on its understanding of scientific research as it stood at the time. Worker safety experts relied on the precautionary principle that reasonable action to reduce risk should not await scientific certainty.

One should be aware of the effects of droplet evaporation and the resultant diminution in size of ejected droplets. A 30 Ìm droplet dries to a 5 Ìm droplet within seconds under normal indoor air conditions. This means that a large droplet, as it evaporates, will not settle to the ground but become a free-floating entity.This has implications for the 3 foot rule, the basis for infection control precautionary measures, since it is commonly believed that large droplets ejected upon sneezing or coughing will follow Stoke’s Law and fall to ground within a 3 foot distance from the person’s face. It is evident that it is commonly believed that the 3 foot rule is a division between an unsafe and safe distance. There is no indication that the 3 foot rule takes into consideration the evaporation factor and the drift factor of airborne droplets, as discussed above. No scientific evidence is offered by WHO,DHHS-CDC,PCAH,or other medical authorities in explaining the rule. If large droplets quickly evaporate to free-floating small droplets, then the 3 foot rule applies only to droplets greater than about 50 – 100 Ìm in diameter for which there is insufficient time chance for evaporation to take effect before they fall to the ground from a height of 5–6 feet. Free floating small droplets readily go beyond the 3 foot radius. Therefore, if the majority of ejected droplets following a sneeze are evaporated to a size that is free-floating after only seconds in air, the 3 foot rule becomes illogical and not particularly helpful from a disease transmission perspective.

Here's what you'll find at the other end of that link. Now think about the roles those signatories hold, the decisions they've made over the last 5 years, and the fact that hospitals *still* choose not to practice good infection control for bioaerosols.

I am once again asking Canadian journalists to ask the most basic-ass question of "on whose land will these be built?" How is it that every other major industry must consider Indigenous rights but with tech it's like "meh".

Considering how many indigenous communities in Canada already lack access to clean drinking water, it is indeed extremely important to ask where these high-polluting high-resource-consuming centres will be built
