Sucks real big how many Black sexworkers haven’t been tipped even once for Black history month so far. We really do deserve better without constantly begging to be seen and taken seriously. It’s always disappinting bt never surprising.

Quote with your payment links nd civs send support thanks!!

Will Stancil is whining about people preventing the spread of COVID-19. This is not somebody who cares about you or your community.

I've been beta testing the new site YourVids (yourvids.com) that launches today! so here's a thread of my thoughts on it 📜

tldr; I like it as a creator, I hope it takes off

A great way to share Valentine's/Galentine's care and celebration is to give providers items from their wish lists! Most providers have wishlists on their sites or socials, and you'll probably get a sweet personal note of thanks!
Thank you to the sweetheart who got me this adorable lace pocket off my wishlist! If you aren't familiar with Gohar World they make the most incredible housewares!!

If you like completing sets I added it's mate, the basket with pockets to my wishlist!!

I dreamt I was back in St. Paul last night. In the early 90s I used to go to a bakery located where Nina's Coffee Cafe is now. According to mayor's office the victim in this attempted kidnapping is alive, in hospital. Will they kidnap them from hospital too?
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Understanding where airborne disease transmission is likely to occur, & how ventilation, occupancy, & activity levels shape that risk, is essential for developing better risk‑management strategies & reducing global burden of airborne infections, & future pandemics.

Hallo ihr Lieben. Ich bin etwas aus dem Loop und hab auch nicht viel Reichweite, möchte es aber trotzdem versuchen.

Wisst ihr von irgendwelchen Anlaufstellen für Long Covid (speziell Vermutung auf ME/CFS) in Hamburg, die auch gesetzlich Versicherte aufnehmen und behandeln?

Here is my horse on gradient.horse

yes I am extremely good at drawing horses, even tiny with a mouse with my non-dominant hand. I drew the right side legs in one color and the left side legs in the other so the horse would be pacing. lol a little MECFS/LC joke

From the update about Savannah:

#pwME reminder that Savannah needs our help.

Please email the CEO of the hospital she is in, ben.travis@nhs.net, with just the title “Restore pain relief to Savannah NOW”

Also please keep donating to and sharing her fundraiser.
#mecfs #pwME

There's an update on Savannah's fundraiser and it is fucking grim.
The hospital have not changed course. Continuing to reduce pain meds. Still not reinstated antihistamine meaning Savannah's had no meaningful nutrition in 7 fucking weeks.

This is MURDER.

All 3 updates are from today.

if a guy makes excuses for someone he just parasocially is attached to, he will do the same for those he actually knows

that guy is not safe to be around, bring others around, or work closely with, less b/c he is a predator than that you know he does not see abusers as unsafe to have around him
