i keep seeing people posting things they think are wise to the effect of “people are letting their purity politics get in the way of achieving results,” and then the “purity politics” are just like basic standards shit like “we must oppose genocide” and “we will not work with the cops”

I’m trying hard to keep it to actionable items in this area because my worst fears are not helpful, so: wear a mask. A well fitting N95, and make sure your kids are also masking, particularly if they are in school. School is going to be a main vector, and anyone who says otherwise is lying to you

No, the mail is not “the least of our worries.” It’s a fucking important worry. It is the only postal service that delivers to every address. They are only provider of complete mail services for overseas military bases and provide free overseas PO boxes. They help prepare passport apps. Ship meds…

On top of everything else it's excellent data since the post office scans every bit of mail

If you're wondering why a lot of what's here is stuff I've conveyed, I was interviewed for this episode of SciShow. #MECFS

Canadians on here actually being like "I can't believe how bad things are getting in the US" without acknowledging Alberta just passed some of the harshest anti-LGBTQ+ laws and are about to vote Doug Ford back into power. Wakeup because the far right are in inside the building

Every athlete he makes contact with should make a point of losing on purpose. Just stand there and let the other team score. Embarrass him. Intentionally.

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you a king. Being crowned at Car Paravel with your three siblings by Aslan does.

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you king. Killing your brother and marrying his wife only to be haunted by his ghost and poisoned by his son before you manage to kill him with the poisoned blade and no one is left but some bloke named Horatio is how you become king

📌 I've made a page for some key recent scientific papers for #MECFS and #LongCovid. Nearly all have accessible PDF links (open-access or via PubMedCentral). Aiming to keep updated as new papers drop, but with limited numbers. www.ddp.nz/me-cfs-lc/re...

One of the many reasons I HATE the name “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome” is it’s confusing. I’ll see people say “oh, my niece had chronic fatigue and exercise helped her.” You drill down and find out they only had the symptom of “chronic fatigue.” They don’t have #MECFS

Gang, at this point I’m too disillusioned to expect all of you to mask always (even though you should), but for the love of GOD, please at least mask at airports and on planes when you travel to events!!!

Calling yourself a king doesn't make you a king. Avenging an insult from the Dauphin with Welsh longbows does.

Calling yourself a king doesn't make you a king. Receiving a suspicious prophecy from three witches, becoming Thane of Cawdor, and murdering King Duncan in his sleep does.

Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.

My mother used to demand people's keys from them before it was socially acceptable to prevent people from drinking and driving. She also refused to let people smoke in her house when it was considered rude to do so. She was right about both. She also still wears a mask.

There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men. Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.

Saw a follower of mine made a post about the biggest political gift the left gave to conservatives is saying people shouldn’t say “the r word” and I just blocked the guy because I don’t fuck with people saying that word and everyone who does sucks and is a 50 year old southpark guy

And arrogant. Ive never encountered a class of people so convinced that they and they alone have the answers to everything, no matter what the subject in question is--from higher education to medicine to art and literature. They might have no training or skill in it, but are convinced they know best
