this is why you don't skip leg day

in an alternate universe i'm losing my job in public health for the government in another i dodged a bullet by finding another employer or line of work when any/all interventions to reduce the impact/spread of COVID were discontinued

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

every so often i feel shitty that i lied abt breaking a roommate's mug but it was a deeply fucked up living situation-- another roommate left dirty toothpicks laying around & i had to get antibiotics bc i managed to step on one such that it went deep into my foot, & no one ever did the dishes

i mean, we're never alone per se (Plurality lmao), but typically one of us will just say "yeah that tracks" (unless the thing dropped was an egg. then it's "motherfucker that was like two dollars")

Imagine how many polycules would still be intact if there was a Steven Universe episode about doing the dishes

somehow, even though i grew up in southern California, i didn't get nosebleeds due to dry air until moving to the Midwest i assume it's the combination of cold + dry out here

Fallon is right. Not only does it take away our independence, it can literally kill us. People have died from this exact scenario.

💊FWIW, it's not exactly fair to conflate the "Make America Healthy Again" executive order's criticism of a range of (mostly psychiatric) medications with the anti-psychiatry movement By & large, those who'd call themselves anti-psychiatry have been harmed by standard psychiatric practices, 1/

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

between the 4 cats & the self-cleaning litter box, being home alone tonight is a harrowing experience of really hoping there's an explanation for bone-chilling noises

@dailybeanspod.bsky.social @dgcomedy.bsky.social love the work you do -- here's a source that provides some context for the specific attacks on trans people while mostly leaving LGB people alone (for now): www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

✌️i keep thinking abt how a classmate, in a conversation abt centering marginalized people's needs, brought up the Nordic model re. sex work (as a positive example) i gently pushed back in the chat, sent a link to a SWer-run org abt why most SWers prefer decrim over the Nordic model 1/2

so, we got a poem published for the first time yesterday! especially relevant for #PluralSky, here's the link: manyworlds.place/issue-7/rose... [note: contains reference to suicide & inner-world death]

our first published poem ("plurality: a personal primer") is in this issue!! so grateful to have found a home for this piece

happy release day to ISSUE 7 ❤️‍🔥 we hope this issue warms your hearts as much as it did ours while curating it. click through for some brand new, stunning works from some of our brilliant contributors 💫 manyworlds.place/issue-7/

NEW: The CDC is currently removing all the influenza resources from their website during the worst flu season in decades.

just gonna put this out there. living as a leftist in a red state right now is far more terrifying, frustrating, & overall difficult than living as a leftist in coastal blue states in 2017-21. every fucking day i find myself wanting to scream at blue state leftists writing off red states as a whole.

(pence did see the full show; the call-out was gentle & after the curtain call. at least one cast member got death threats, to the point of needing personal security when in public, for this. we have to speak up anyway, if we find ourselves in a position to do so.)

When you hear “Make America Healthy Again” please remember who the Nazi’s targeted first. They wanted to make Germany healthy and “pure” The Aktion T4 program mass murdered people with disabilities. They tested the gas chambers on us. Please do not obey in advance. Speak out. Save lives.
