I post about Pokemon, my pets, & my OCs. If you like middle-aged men with issues who fall in love: hello, ask me about my #OC ship called Kibble. I have no self control.

This is nowhere near as bad as my top useless lesbian moment, where I tearfully said to my 22-year old 6th grade History Teacher (who looked exactly like Miss Honey) that it wasn't fair she wouldn't hang out with me outside school.
"You hang out with Adam every day!" I cried. Adam was her husband

Sometimes you send something you found online to a friend because you want to brighten their day, and sometimes you send something you found online to a friend with the precise attitude and bearing of a cat very carefully lining up their paw with the back of another cat's head.

![[COVID zine page 3]
[Bold, handwritten] COVID is still everywhere.
At least half of COVID spread is from people without symptoms.[10] Either before symptoms develop, or the ~40% of cases that are asymptomatic![11]
[Cartoon of a waitress, unmasked, looking abashed, surrounded by an infectious cloud, saying "may I take your order?"]
Without available testing, the best way we have to estimate how many people have COVID: wastewater data. Virus levels in sewage closely follow actual cases.[12]
[Cartoon of a toilet with viruses getting flushed]
[Graph from Michael Hoerger @michael_hoerger, pmc19.com/data, titled “SARS-CoV-2 New Daily Infections, Wastewater-Derived Estimates (U.S.) - Jan 12, 2026.”
The current level is around 1,000,000 new daily infections.
The graph has been annotated by me, with “Omicron peak: over five million new daily cases” and “April 2023: Biden ends COVID emergency response.” It's apparent that April 2023 was a lull, but the pattern of COVID waves has been basically unbroken since early 2022.]

I stopped using sticker mule absolute ages ago because of the owner’s bullshit. The owner is still on his bullshit, so if you use sticker mule, maybe don’t. StickerAPP is a good alternative, and also there’s most likely a local sticker printer near you (Sticker Ninja in Portland, for example).
The latest move by Sticker Mule's owner. Please don't give these people your money (or honestly send them your artwork, you never know).

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.
