I want so badly for people to understand that you can still be an irredeemable creeper even though everything you did was legal. The "illegal conduct" circle is *inside* the "awful conduct" on the venn diagram, not the other way around.

Care tasks are morally neutral. Having an organized closet doesn't make you a success, and living out of a pile of laundry doesn't make you a failure.

The “what should poor people be allowed to eat” debate is infuriating.
The answer is simple.
They should be allowed to eat anything.
It’s no one’s business.
Ideally we would agree that food is a basic human right & it would be plentiful for all.
Until then, stop judging. Fed is best.

“Canada has recorded more than 5,100 confirmed & probable measles cases in 2025, and two deaths of babies born with congenital measles who were infected in utero. The country hasn’t seen this scale of measles transmission in decades”

The Americas, led by Canada, is on the brink of losing measles-elimination status
The Americas is the only region of the world to have stopped endemic transmission of measles. But its victory is on the verge of being rolled back.

He's a treasure. Love that he's taking the subway, too.
Tom Hanks understands that Covid is not over & that masks work!
He says he’s in a play and can’t get sick.
“I’ve had covid enough. I don’t want to do that again”
This is the way. Wearing a mask helps keep you healthy and it protects those around you.
A respirator like an N95 is best!

Truth be told, I had a meltdown today that I could only halt with a nap. I still have a crying hangover. Today was not a particularly good day or good birthday.

Friends! With the looming SNAP cutoff, I'm also going to do this -- send me a food bank donation receipt and I'll match up to $500.
Alright, team Bluesky: US foodbanks are about to have staggering demand when SNAP ends Nov 1st. We need to help them prepare.
I'll match donations: DM or reply with a receipt showing your own donation to a food bank of your choice, and I'll donate to match, up to a total of $500. 💪🥗🍲🥚🥧🥪🥣🥛

Two countries in the UN voted against making food a human right… the US & Israel
The US is about to let 42 million people starve at a time when half of all Americans can’t afford a basic standard of living
Abolish the billionaire class
They’re enriching themselves at the expense of everyone else

Some people don’t have family to feed them
Some lack access to a church that will accept them
Personal responsibility isn’t the solution to hunger
Many SNAP recipients work. 1.3 million are active duty military
The problem is low wages & high cost of living
Tax the billionaires. Feed the hungry
