If I was a dick to you online in recent years then I apologize.
I didn't know or understand my own limitations but I'm getting a grasp on them. I allowed social media to shape my engagement with others in really unhealthy ways that made existing issues worse.
Not doing that anymore.

One of my favorite movies of the last decade
this is also the message of the underrated blade runner 2049
The real lesson you can take from It's A Wonderful Life is that human kindness is our strongest bulwark against the corrupting forces of capitalism, fyi

I almost couldn’t believe my eyes yesterday when someone walked by our house in a good mask. I think that’s only the second time that’s happened in years. Are more people catching on? Is a Christmas miracle afoot? #COVID

I have to place this in the context of the ongoing refusal across the political spectrum to do literally anything about infectious diseases like COVID.
This exists as it does because of society's greater desire to pretend what's happening isn't actually happening.

Okay so $8k is beyond excessive but I ain't mad at the design...
We all know Neil’s mom briefly (and badly) ran the EPA under Reagan, but did you know he’s also related to the Colorado skiing clan that sells jackets like this to rich people.
Neat family.

Seriously this was *always* a good idea. Covid-19 or no Covid-19, who wants to have the flu at your family holiday event? Or a bad cold? And probably give it to everyone else...
Americans are extremely weird about refusing to take sensible precautions. Masking for travel is perfectly normal.

Did you know our government under the Biden administration allowed a CEO to basically dictate a public health policy that has likely played an important role in your or a loved one’s long term health? It’s true, sadly. #COVID

I did not know this.
They got my ass with that propaganda.

One of the most dangerous persistent myths is that planes are safe due to ventilation.
In reality ventilation is only on part of the time, and there is bad ventilation before and after take off.
And viruses can still spread easily in crowds over short distances regardless of ventilation status.

Many get sick while traveling.
One major reason is they don’t realize mass transit is high risk because airline CEOs lied about viral spread early in the pandemic and lobbied the CDC to lower precautions.
To make the most of your holiday, take precautions like wearing a mask when you travel!

I hope people are able to see the violent patterns: they collect intelligence on their targets (anyone not White, cis, straight and conservative) through orgs like TPUSA, they paint targets on the backs of academics, and then cowardly administrators, right-wing politicians and media do the rest.

I will keep demanding folks "act a certain way" because acting "a certain way" has material benefits for everyone, not just disabled people. Moreover, if you're committed to the idea of a better world, it should be a better world for everyone, and that starts with changing how we act in general.
