Things are bleak, but there’s also good news: 1) Montana refused to ban mRNA vaccines! tinyurl.com/bdftjezm 2) CA is fighting trans healthcare bans! tinyurl.com/yyadcnsv 3) Public outcry scared ‘em off firing parks employees! tinyurl.com/yck9yb7s Stay loud. Demand more from your local leaders.

Ah yes, I remember the avocado toast war of 2017. 🥑

Hoarding is a mental illness unless the thing that you hoard is huge amounts of money, then you are considered successful

Just in case you forgot

Read it slowly and understand it. 😳🥺 Repost 👇🏾 👇🏾

"Hip-hop artist and Grammy winner has fun when he should have been working." Anti-blackness is pervasive everywhere.

I've reached a point where I think I'm going to follow @totallydonna.kitrocha.com's new rule and if I see someone discussing/admitting to using GenAI I am just going to block them. We need to get this train back on the tracks b/c there are so many useful things technology can be doing but NOT THIS.

Too many healthcare professionals are invested in medicine as social control rather than public health, and they have zero awareness of the difference or of how their personal investment and professional institutions both perpetuate systemic and individual harm.

I'm still so scared of this place. Such a different vibe than on threads. It feels like a different planet. What language y'all speaking? How do you say hello? Que fue, pana? Como se conocen aquí?

More details on censorship at the CDC from @alexander-a-tin.bsky.social: Trump officials at HHS, and acting CDC Director Susan Monarez, refused repeated requests by career health officials to publish the completed research on bird flu in the MMWR, officials say.

There's a kind of "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" quality to bluesky. It's...something.

This is such an interesting space. I'm still attached to threads, but I'm hopeful this place will become comfortable someday soon.

Joy is rebellion When there’s so much going on in the world that’s designed to discourage, dissuade, dishearten, disorient, and disorganize JOY IS REBELLION So do not feel guilty for finding joy and then sharing it with the rest of us We need it, individually and collectively Joy is rebellion

“I don’t consider myself COVID cautious. I consider myself COVID competent,” Zebrowski said. “Cautious would imply that I have an unreasonable fear of something. I do not have an unreasonable fear of this disease.” Nailed it 🔥

Bernie woke up, went on X, and chose violence.

See now this I can get behind.

I'm so nervous about trying to rebuild what I have on threads here. I don't think I'm ready for a mass exodus from there.

What's the over/under on their CEO?

Earth: 'Long COVID: Persistent spike proteins accumulate in the brain' “Our data also suggest that persistent spike protein at the brain’s borders may contribute to the long-term neurological effects of COVID-19 and long COVID,” said Professor Ertürk www.earth.com/news/long-co...

More men need to tell us they've never been a fan of The Beatles. It shows an independence of thought but also profound intellectual insight; a refusal to run with the herd. I especially like to see it in response to someone expressing their love of the group. It's outspoken, contrary and brave.

If you recognize that those rising to power want to make it harder to afford healthcare, have workers rights like sick days, stay alive with a disability, get vaccines, breathe clean air… Don’t do their work for them. Wear an n95. Get vaccinated. Test often. Isolate when sick. Give/get mutual aid:

It’ll never not bug the living crap out of me that the most misogynistic toxic male in America twice denied two overly qualified women from obtaining the highest office in the land. A less than mediocre male, failing up. I know you of old.

The weird thing about being down to get down with practically anyone is that I'm never trying to get with anyone. Like, I'm so satisfied. I can't imagine needing or wanting more. I can't imagine getting friend zoned cause I'm choosing to be friends and being satisfied by that choice. It's weird.

Aaaaaaaand this is why I'm poly.

Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont... It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.

buying video games to fill up your steam library is a different hobby to actually playing the games lol

A day late and a dollar short, but I'm not ready to share my tummy or tits.
