I think my problem with Outdoorsman is they filled his beard in way too much. He wouldn’t look like that. He’d look like Kurt Russell in The Thing.

as a disabled woman seeing leftists resign themselves to AI is a very similar feeling to seeing them resign themselves to covid

the electric bill in my mailbox just started screaming
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

"Why can't we have a calm discussion about AI?"

Cuz the data centers are being built carelessly and at speed, polluting poor neighborhoods, cuz it's drinking my fucking aquifer, and cuz all my art and writing have been plagisrized while the worst assholes crow about my impending obsolescense...

How’s your weather and do you have any feelings about it

also, from a sighted autistic person, thanks for being a trustworthy alt text user, I usually check people’s before I repost and I do sometimes open yours to read it but I like being able to repost confident that you wrote good alt text

Proud dad moment.

My freshman daughter is openly masking at school — and wrote about it in her student paper.

In a culture that pressures kids to conform, choosing prevention takes backbone.

This isn’t about fear.
It’s about care.

It was on this day,
February 11
(but in the year 2020)
when the WHO
finalized the names:
COVID-19 and
SARS-CoV-2,
but at this point
you are more likely
to hear the virus referred to
as the “weird something”
everyone keeps catching.

if you want a real easy way to be a chad do not get involved in this on any level. I dont scold people for their tastes but JK Rowling has said repeatedly she puts the revenue generated by Harry Potter right into anti trans political organizations and legislation
Hasbro and Warner Bros. Discovery have signed a multi-year deal starting in 2027 to produce Harry Potter film and television series dolls, role play, action figures, collectibles, interactive plush, board games, and more to be revealed later this year - bwnews.pr/45UKdKL

So I think everyone knows what Chuck E. Cheese is but for non-parents who don't know what LifeTouch is, it's the company that for decades has had a near-monopoly on school pictures.
Finding out that top execs from both LifeTouch and Chuck E. Cheese are in the Epstein files has pissed me off in a way that I didn’t think was still possible.

mask blocs will often handoff, drop, or mail you masks and/or tests
🤩

mask wearing is nonbinary. if you are unable for work or whatever it doesn’t mean you can’t mask in other places

pick a place and try!
public transit is a great place to start!

masking is also *antifascist*

need masks?

dm me
if masks are pricey for you, reader, check out covidactionmap.org + maskbloc.org to see if there are groups near you who can provide them. no one near you? check the link in my bio for the “how to start a maskbloc” zine, & the thread below for tips on making air at your gatherings a lil safer.
don’t know where to start? here are some brands that i like (+a vid of me wearin some, for a visual):
•Bonafide Masks
•WellBefore
•Dräger
•BeHealthy
•Laianzhi
•Breatheteq
•BNX
•3M
•MaskC
•CambridgeMask
*buying directly from distributors (some use amazon)=best way to avoid less than quality product
