I miss the sea. It’s quite exhilarating & a unique feeling to be in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight for days… much different from being in the wilderness surrounded by trees and land.

Enough COVID infections will eventually take care of COVID denialism.
By brute force.
They will either cause enough damage to convince, or to forever shut you up.

-waves are not seasonal
-vaccines are waning
-people are getting long covid
-it’s still not an endemic disease
-very young kids are at increased risk because they didn’t go through the initial vaccine series
Oh and it turns out, Covid Cautious people have been right the whole time.

I've tried to stop covid scolding and just let people carry on, but it really burns my biscuits when someone's like "how can I avoid covid?" and you're like "wear an N95 or better, and to avoid breathing public unfiltered air," and they're like "oh I meant how can I avoid it without trying."

This is the same eugenic belief system that many still hold re: the ongoing pandemic. They believe people’s deaths from covid are acceptable if they’re medically vulnerable. It’s a disgusting ableist belief system and this rhetoric surrounding children in Gaza is the natural consequence of that
I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

I taught art and when students would say "I just can't draw" I'd ask how much time they spent practicing. They would stare back at me blankly.
Then I'd turn to the kids that COULD draw and ask them how much they practice and they were like "I draw all day every day"

No, AI shouldn't be used at all. It's an ecological disaster in the making, and an unreliable source full of corporate interests behind. We need to make it disappear and restore internet. Nobody ever needed AI, it's toxic propaganda/marketing weaponized against the population.

Nearly everyone fails to grasp that the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 is far worse than it appears to be. Much of the damage is hidden, because instances of infection, illness, and mortality are not being honestly reported. When the final reckoning comes, most people will be unprepared.
