the idea of keeping someone "alive" while brain-dead because they're pregnant is horrifying specifically because of the broader implication of how society treats people with wombs as incubators at the service of society, and not as, yknow, full human beings with bodily autonomy.

When I needed a hysterectomy due to severe endometriosis & adenomyosis, I was repeatedly denied Told I “might want kids.” Told I “might meet a man who wants kids” I was left disabled & bed ridden, yet the system continued to try & save my diseased uterus against my will 🧵

i had pretty strong "allergies"-like symptoms on Monday, but i've never really had "allergies", so it's not clear wtf is going on. we haven't been outside for maybe a couple weeks before then. anyway i ordered a pluslife to be sure.

I’m seeing a lot of people posting about how sick they are with a “summer flu” Main complaints? Fatigue, extremely sore throat, fever and loss of smell. It’s Covid. The Nimbus variant is here & appears to be more transmissible. It’s time to wear a respirator, clean the air & stay home when sick!

It's really telling that most necromancers choose to remain alive. Statistically there are way fewer lich kings than you would expect. They don't use their own technology

It is unknown, precisely, what threatened the 21st century computer. However, many examples of "desktop armor" have survived—beautiful helmet-like cases, elaborately embossed, grilles protecting the screen

Midas cured himself refusing to perceive wholes. The woman does not turn to gold; her skin turns to gold. Her skin does not turn to gold; some cells turn to gold. The cell walls, but not their contents, turn to gold. All is discontinuous

Also, while Newsom is in the spotlight, keep in mind that he should NOT be a candidate for president - ever. He's stomped on trans folks, championed clearing operations vs. unhoused people, and cozied up to extreme right-wingers.

This. For the bazillionth time, AVOID INFECTION. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A MILD COVID INFECTION. That means cleaning the air you breathe (mask w/N95 or better + HEPAs + ventilation, etc.) and vaccinating if you're able.

There is no such thing as “AI art”. GenAI slop CRAP has no sense of creativity or free will so for those of you still using the term “AI art”, please stop, using that term only legitimizes it. You gotta call it something else. It’s not “AI art”, it’s AI generated images aka AI slop CRAP

protesting is not about moral imperatives. it's a practical act that should have a practical purpose and be done in the way that has the highest practical utility to achieve practical goals. protesting out of passion is cute and childish and children should not be at protests.

I don’t want people who were on the fence about whether trans people should be tolerated or not to grudgingly come around to tolerating us. I want them to be forced to let us exist freely regardless of their feelings and if that upsets them i want them to be miserable and inconvenienced

Friendly reminder to the new followers. We support sex workers here. If you're sex averse and make it other people's problem? That's not okay. People have a right to own their own body, and what they do with it is none of your business. I strongly support destigmatizing sex work and nudity

the optimal regret rate for a health-related procedure is not 0% because that is a direct tradeoff against the rate of people who want or need that procedure but don't get it because it's not available to them. there *should* be people who go "welp that didn't work". it is *good and necessary*.

SARS-CoV-2 protein found to spread between cells, triggering immune attack on healthy cells. "This research uncovers a surprising way the SARS-CoV-2 virus misdirects the immune system, causing it to attack healthy cells simply because they’ve been marked by a viral protein." archive.md/datYu

The very same thing happened during the BLM marches: the media (and not just the overt right-wing outlets) typically cherry-picked shots portraying "mayhem," when in fact the only mayhem was being generated by the cops - who also were guilty of hundreds, if not thousands, of acts of overt brutality.

Recall that “tear gas” (CS) is banned in warfare under the 1925 Geneva Protocol. But using it on US civilians is A-OK…
