I think my first day at the new job went well!

A thread 🧵

If you start with the conclusion and work backwards to produce the “evidence”, that’s propaganda, not research.

For Valentine's Day, hubby ordered pizza and we played a game of Clank! Catacombs with our eldest. The dragon won, in that we were all knocked out, but I got the most victory points!

Today was my last scheduled day volunteering in the office at my local nonprofit. I start my new job on Tuesday! (For the cat lovers, no worries, I left the lilies with my coworkers at the office.)

If your restaurant doesn't allow substitutions or special requests, either in person or online, that's as much as saying "don't eat here if you have food allergies or intolerances," & I'm like a gnat's ass hair away from saying the about anywhere doesn't clearly list all of their dishes' ingredients

Argh! The edges are curling up. 😖

Breaking the chain of transmission shows a lot of love. Anyone -adults and children- can be debilitated by Covid, even well after the acute phase (initial symptoms), which is why Long Covid has been referred to as a mass-disabling event.

Protect the vulnerable. You don't have to do a sit-in, get arrested, or hide someone in your closet; just wear a mask. The more we wear masks, the fewer airborne viruses can spread from person to person, and fewer people will die. It's science. Be brave. Wear a respirator in closed, indoor spaces.

Wyldstyle let me pet her!! That's the most I've been able to touch her in a whole year.

Because in the United States, it’s legal to feed chicken shit to cattle. That’s why. That’s literally the reason www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

"What is the Trump administration doing about bird flu?" The same thing as the last administration. Nothing. The real question is what are *you* doing about it? Don't sit around waiting for a failed government to tell you what to do. Mask up and clean the air.

Disability is not a personal or moral failing. Everyone is one accident, infection or stroke of bad luck from becoming disabled. When someone asks for help, give it freely and without strings. Don’t judge them or tell them to “try harder”. One day it’ll be your turn.

Wow. So not only were several bird flu studies left out of today’s CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, some data on bird flu briefly appeared in the online report and then was quickly removed.

Here's the progress on my rag rug. Still debating what to do when I finish the red layers.

“Last year, the bill for sick leave in Sweden came to 92 billion kronor … That's just over 14 billion kronor more than the year before … But Social Insurance Minister Anna Tenje cannot explain why.” FAFO in action. www.tn.se/arbetsmarkna...

Channeling all my feelings into memes

Something disability justice activists have been screaming about for the last five years and some of you may just now be realizing: eugenicists believe disease is good. They believe themselves part of the “superior” race and that disease clears out the poor and unworthy. 1/

Alt text has one little typo, cool should say coup.

The next TrickyLUG Build Challenge is to build whoever/whatever character/animal/etc. you want in the style of the Brickheadz LEGO line. Add us as a collaborator on Insta, use the hashtag #TrickyLugChallenge0325 , and/or share your build(s) live at our next Zoom meeting on March first!

No, we're not surprised. Just disappointed.

I need the C🦠- safe community to hear something very clearly from me… Esp those of you who have not engaged your legislators about mask bans. Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, on any side of aisle politicizing a medical device is a PROBLEM. It must stop now.

I have seen people making the connection, but yeah...

Making myself egg rolls again.

You know when you see media saying things like “unfortunate gesture” and you get annoyed because it was clearly a Nazi salute… Well that’s how I feel when I read about C19 in the past tense, or that it’s “mild” and all the “they had co-morbidities” stuff. As well as “mystery illnesses”.

Trans rights are human rights. Pass it on.
