One of the brilliant things our current iteration of oligarchs did is get people to conceive of free speech as being able to call your coworkers slurs rather than using it to say stuff like why are my tax dollars subsidizing your billionaire ass

Gentle reminder that many disabled people can’t always shop local, especially if housebound. We’re dependent on delivery & sometimes left with big chains as only option. If you can, help someone get what they need from a great local minority owned business! Community will save us in the end.

More measles cases in the U.S, this time in Kentucky and New Jersey. Officials say they don’t believe they’re linked to the Texas outbreak, but stress the importance of vaccination. Remember if you get measles, it can wipe out previous vaccines & immunity. Respirators work well too!

Millennial here. When I was in university we had a Mumps outbreak at my school. I was fortunate to have gotten a MMR booster when I did some travelling in 2008, but many folks around my age were not adequately vaccinated so it's a good idea to check!

A couple days ago I published my first mystery for #brindlewoodbay. It's inspired by Clue (the board game), Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, and Glass Onion. If you're looking for a new mystery to add to your campaign, I hope you'll check it out! leigheldridge.itch.io/board-to-dea...

Friends asking me about my favourite masks so they can start masking again and be safer is my love language.

Do not despair. Do not give up. Clean air is crucial to long term health and well being. Care for yourself. Care for others. Wear a mask. Clean the air. Lead the way. #WearAMask #MaskUp #CleanAir #SaltingTheVibes

“There’s no excuse for the public to be under the impression that COVID solely affects the lungs; it is a deliberate decision to leave people in the dark”. This is on all public health leaders. Ignoring/not communicating the damage from COVID infections is a compounding disaster in our current state

Disabled TTRPG folks, I want to hear about your experiences in the TTRPG space, the good, the bad, the ugly. Stories of inclusion, ableism, praises and gripes with the space you have but are scared to say. Anything you can think of. I'm writing something up. You can remain anonymous. DMs open.

Kind of weird how much we've separated egg prices from the h5n1 virus. Like we get that's why eggs are expensive? Because we've failed to contain it and farmers have had to cull large amounts of chickens leading to a reduction in production?

When people keep asking, “What can I do?” when referring to improving the state of the world, you can wear a mask. It’s one of the easiest ways to protect minorities and create community care. It also shows noncompliance. You want to be a revolutionary? Wear a mask!

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

I'll have more to say about this later, but for now I want to share this piece I was honored to write for @thesicktimes.bsky.social about friendship & COVID.

people keep tagging me in fuck around and find out content like I haven’t been talking about how pandemics lead to fascism since 2020. The “find out” portion isn’t just for everyone who doesn’t consider themself a liberal—it’s for them too. Haven’t masked in 4 years? FAAFO.
