Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation.
Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

Well, I'm hoping for a minor miracle tomorrow, but barring that, our financial future just got dashed to bits, so we will probably need mutual aid this month. If you can help out a couple of trans cuties + 2 cats, anything is appreciated and will go to keeping us housed and fed: linktr.ee/virtuistic

Early in the pandemic, people fixated on disinfecting surfaces, assuming it prevented infection. While hygiene matters, SARS‑CoV‑2 spreads mainly through airborne particles. Much better to focus on ventilation, masks in enclosed spaces, and hand hygiene.

In addition to COVID, the flu is also surging something fierce right now, and it is hospitalizing folks with truly nasty symptoms. Another great reason to don a respirator and re-up vaccines.

In 2026 let’s normalize masking for public health.
If we could admit that with healthcare being gutted, vaccine access restricted and previously eradicated diseases coming back… having an extra layer like a respirator makes good sense.
Let’s also normalize not mocking people who mask!
