Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...

A tip from someone who lived through Snowmageddon 2010: PRESERVE ACCESS.
Think “if this pile of snow were 3x as big and coated in impenetrable ice, would that be a problem?”
Dig out your mailbox, trash cans, car, etc now.
Love, someone who had to pick up mail at the post office for weeks.

I like to knit with wool yarn so I have been going to thrift stores to look for wool. I discovered 2 surprising things.
1) there is very little wool but l find cashmere on almost every visit (!)
2) all the cashmere is pink

What's described here about EV charging is exactly the reason you see so many Teslas on the road, despite the company being so horrible in other ways.
Tesla charging networks are (mostly) reliable; so is the routing app which is built into the car.

Opinion | Charging an EV? Prepare for frustration.
Public charging stations have advanced considerably, but reliability remains elusive.

my life's goal is to keep moving from one Southern state to another, screaming "ACTUALLY THIS PLACE IS PURPLE AS FUCK, IT'S ALL VOTER SUPPRESSION" until Republicans lose major elections, and then move on to the next one like some weird electoral locust
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Good advice from an ophthalmologist Dr Glaucoflecken (I know - still not sure it's a real name) on what to do if you get tear-gassed.
Looking at you, #Minnesota Warriors for Democracy & Justice!
Also #Minneapolis. Y'all know we always got you, right?
Peace & love!

Not only do we deserve to celebrate wins for their own sake, loud and public celebration helps the cause. Celebration is strategic. Celebrate the fuck out of your wins.
I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101

Husband, this morning: I mean it’s a lot but it’s not THAT many inches. See, you can tell by the roof of the car. Looks like only about 4 inches.
Me: as of when?
Him: just now
Me: Yeah I cleared about 6 inches off it with a pushbroom a few hours ago

Your friendly reminder that grocery shelves are not bare because of panic.
Saturday’s/Sunday’s/Monday’s shoppers are shopping on Thursday/Friday/Saturday instead, so the store has to provide double the usual amount of food for 3 days straight.

+1 I would not have been able to write my first book without libraries - I used or checked out over 100 books in the process. I get a bigger thrill out of seeing my books in a library than a bookstore.
Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.
