Almost everyone I know is sick right now.
They’ve got a “bad flu” or a “nasty stomach bug”.
Almost no one will utter the word Covid.
It’s not too late to start wearing a mask.
It’s a great way to practice community care while keeping yourself healthy.
Ideally an N95 or better!

JFC on a pogo stick.
They’re doing eugenics right out in the open now, largely because Trump, RFK Jr, Dr Oz and the rest of the fascists have been pushing a eugenicist agenda since they seized control.
It’s white Christian nationalism and it’s dangerous.
Disabled people are not “imperfect”.
We are also not expendable

Wrote ~250 words tonight & that's a real win. I haven't had writer's block, but the world around me (macro & micro) has been overwhelming, exhausting, and I've had zero spoons or executive function to do any writing. Here's hoping I'm getting through it even just a little. Not writing sucks.

Opened up my #EpicFantasy novel for the 1st time in 5months. I'm just rereading, but it's more than I've been able to attempt on *anything* in ~3 mos so I'm counting it as a win. Also chuckling at the line: Wry, he thought, At least they’re dressed for a ball, not a beheading. #AmWriting #NoContext

As you can tell, I'm standing up to this administration despite the charges against me.
But I can't do it alone. A lot of people running for office say this, but it's true that your support is more important now than ever:

Not good.
The U.S. is on track to have the fewest foreign food inspections since 2011, except during the Covid pandemic. 65% of the staff in the FDA divisions responsible for coordinating travel and budgets left or were fired in the name of government efficiency. www.propublica.org/article/fore...

Is it just me, or have the spam/phishing calls been out of control since the shutdown? It's like because no one's watching, they're just, "Let 'er rip!" I literally got 8 vms today from robocallers. And I've been getting that amount daily for at least two weeks now.

So I opened up a pdf doc today to read and adobe's ai appeared automatically at the top of the window to say, "This appears to be a long document. Would you like ai to summarize it for you?" It was only 27pgs long. NO! STOP INFLICTING AI ON US! ARGH! #LetPeopleRead.

After watching The Residence *ahem* many, many times (kinda waiting for Nflix to tell me to get a life), it occurs to me that the "asshole" character, Harry Hollinger, is the only one who always addresses Cordelia by "Detective." Looovvve the inherent contradiction. #random

I frequently get confused on "repost" and "quote post" which is super annoying on a personal level. I meant to say, "fucking finally, some good news!" With the last post about the deaf/blind student funding post.

IMPORTANT
If the government carries out Trump’s orders targeting antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization,” it would violate free speech rights. Here’s why: bit.ly/4330Su2
Trump’s Orders Targeting Antifascism Aim to Criminalize Opposition
Purporting to go after “domestic terrorism,” the president presents an imagined left-wing conspiracy and authorizes punishments for even tenuous connections to speech the administration doesn’t like.

Well that's not good
September 2025 was the 3rd warmest September on record for our planet, following 2023 (1st place) and 2024 (2nd place). The last 12-months have been about 1.51°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average.
