Hi, I’m God. How many pandemics must I send before humans once again learn to revere scientists? How many millions must die? Not trying to be dramatic, just earnestly inquiring for My Notes. Thanks, God

Are you someone who is good at designing accessible CSS / JS and also is interested in helping out with a personal passion project of mine to record activities of a certain dangerous wrecking crew? If so, hit me up here or on Signal (contact details on my website)

I’m freaking out in a crowded ER with people coughing and screaming. I saw an Xray radiologist in N95 + surgical, and lots of maskless patients and staff, or masks worn under the nose. 😩 I want to go home!

We care deeply about your health & well-being, & despite the implementation of tariffs, we’ve made the decision not to raise our prices. You matter to us. We're extending code SPRING25 for 25% off thru 4/20. bonafidemasks.com #Powecom #KN95 #N95 #thetrustedsource #bonafidemasks

I needed this today

There is nothing like shopping at Kohl’s with a midwestern mother who has coupons.

This #LongCovidAwarenessDay I’m reflecting on how many people have been let down by governments, public health & medical establishments How Covid has been downplayed, airborne spread ignored & vaxx and relax strategies pushed for the sake of capitalism How many have Long Covid because of this? 🧵

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

We've gotta get those slogans down to six words

Card of the Day 2 March 2025 #CotD #cardoftheday #tarot

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

Scream this from the rooftops. Powerful men being certain that "if you're smart at one thing you must be smart at all of the things."

NEW: The Trump admin is considering destroying 160 million COVID tests, worth half a billion dollars. This would be a horrible waste. COVID is still around, and causes high levels of illness and deaths throughout the year. Tests are expensive. The government should send them to people for free.

Wearing your masks and getting your vaccines is an act of resistance

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
