If your “natural immunity” is so great that you “don’t need vaccines” then why do you need to buy so many supplements and potions and veterinary pharmaceuticals? If infections aren’t actually a problem at all then why are you using horse dewormer on them?

Fuck these people. Keep the pressure on them and keep looking for new trading partners. The US is a violent aggressive state, that is just short of declaring actual war on us. Quit letting them wiggle out after a day. You can never appease a bully, backing off emboldens them.

What’s most disturbing to me is the state regulating the prescription of this substance based off of… no actual evidence. It’s a restriction on access to health resources based on right wing talking points & nothing else. What’s next?

Everyone can organize. Everyone can contribute to social movements. Everyone can do something, from somewhere. None of this is about "professionalism" or policy"expertise. That is counterinsurgency, demobilizing logic. Everyone can organize and has something to offer.

@kehyslop.bsky.social's piece on making bureaucracy more accessible for neurodivergent folks deserves a read, not least of which because they had to put up w/ my ranting about why neurodivergent people are correct & forms are incorrect on at least two occasions: thetyee.ca/News/2025/01...
