idk man i think immuno-compromised people deserve to be able to go to the doctor and supermarkets and movie theatres and take public transportation without risking getting sicker (forever) but i guess that's not a common position these days.

see this is just wrong. factually and scientifically. don't mask if you don't want to. but don't pretend it's a perfectly reasonable and consistent position if you're committed to accessibility in public spaces for all people. and if you care about not getting sick.

(and i think it is a demand that stems from fear more than a rational assessment of the threat environment)

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Hossam Shabat should be reporting on the ceasefire today.

there's no happiness here tbh israel bombed gaza into rubble, killed thousands upon thousands, maimed thousands upon thousands, and there is no self-determination for palestine still so we all know it's very likely only a temporary reprieve. where's the happiness supposed to come in?

yeah i'm relieved about it but israel breaks ceasefires regularly and how can you expect happiness that they've finally officially agreed to stop bombing after two years of constant bombing and killing

a lot of people are finally waking up to the importance of the 3rd amendment. As a 3A absolutist, i think it should be illegal for soldiers to be quartered anywhere in this country. they should be camping under the open sky at all times. all military bases and barracks are unconstitutional.

#Tolkientober day 9: fall

“Before the rising of the sun Eärendil slew Ancalagon the Black, the mightiest of the dragon-host, and cast him from the sky; and he fell upon the towers of Thangorodrim, and they were broken in his ruin.”

the ceasefire doesn't make me happy. it leaves my heart broken. there must be enforcement of it and accountability and Palestinian self-determination and aid for rebuilding. Palestine must be free.

Unbeknownst to most or long forgotten is that on October 8 and October 10, 2023; Hamas offered the same deal that’s being pitched as Trump’s “Gaza Peace Deal” which would have handed all hostages over to Israel in exchange for Israeli troops not entering the strip, Netanyahu refused the proposal.

the adulterated cough syrup news is all incredibly horrifying. it gets more horrifying by the day and somehow it's not dominating all the headlines. it's dereliction of duty, scapegoating of carers, and the abandonment of citizens.
