As we continue to see sustained death + disablement due to COVID, the public health + disability justice implications of criminalizing mask-wearing are disastrous. Mask bans also violate our fundamental civil liberties.

Five more poll locations in DeKalb County, Georgia, have received bomb threats. Voting has been halted for now, and the county is seeking an emergency court order to keep the polls open later. (via Brendan Keefe, Atlanta News First)

I'm a bit upset that it was AI that caused this mass migration and not the general awfulness of interactions on Twitter. I guess a lot more people than I thought needed Twitter to find a customer base and couldn't safely take a risk on bluesky at the time
