I get paid to think.

When I'm not doing that, I'm making soap, developing my own fragrances, pretending to finish the two novels I've started, dabbling in watercolor and playing boardgames I'm not very good at.
Remember when political pamphlets were a thing? Back in the days of the revolution.
We should bring those back. Not digitally, but tangible physical pamphlets. Itd be a better use of paper than junk mail.
Just sayin

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

Let's be very clear. The only ones "gambling " with WW3 is Putin and his orange crony, Trump.

If you aren't calling your congressial representatives...you should start.

Use a script. Leave a voicemail. The 5 calls app makes it easy.

It feels like there's not a lot the common person can do right now, but this something we CAN do

Everything is terrible, BUT there's a coffeshop playing Queen's "Princes of the Universe", which I have not heard in *decades*, much less in a public setting; and my heart is soothed a tiny bit.

Just a tiny bit.

Surprisingly relateable...

"I have to clean the mess
I have to pay the bills
I have to focus less
I have to take more pills
I need to work harder
I think I'm going mad
I need to make this test
is there a monkey dead?"

XD

I mean, I don't kill monkeys but the rest...

I wake up and check the feed and see a bunch of reposts of all the terrible (but valid and need to be discussed) things happening in the world right now.

But also, today is the first day in a year(ish?) that I'm going back to working on my creative writing regularly. So, there's that. 🤷‍♀️

Coronavirus found in samples from 96% of flights

If you believe it's now safe to fly without a protective mask, you might want to think again. New research shows the COVID-19 virus has been found on nearly every flight tested.

I know I keep screaming this into the void but just because climate change isn’t the *only* factor contributing to an extreme event doesn’t mean it’s not *a* factor. Literally nothing on Earth is unaffected by the changing climate.

I know there's like 4 different illnesses going around right now, but honestly, avoiding norovirus is pretty easy folks.

WASH. YOUR. GODDAMN. HANDS.

And, avoid eating out for the near future since you can't trust that people prepping food are actually washing their hands appropriately. 🙄

In this day and age, living in a place that
- you like,
- you can afford,
- you can find a job,
- you have family/friends,
- you feel safe, and
- you *are* safe from natural disasters/bad laws/worse

is luxury and privilege. Almost no one gets to check all the boxes.

So maybe don’t be an asshole.

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.

Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk:
