“we’re all gonna get it” is every bit as defeatist and doomerist as “we can’t do anything about climate change”. why do so many who are so fervent about protecting the environment refuse to acknowledge this? is our collective health not equally important?
“Well everyone else was doing it too” is never a worthy excuse. Just because practically no one masks or keeps up with the alarming science on COVID doesn’t exempt everyone from responsibility.
#MaskUp and protect yourself and others. In the future, you’ll be glad you did.

It’s 12 November, so it’s time to mark the 55th anniversary of the exploding whale of Oregon, an attempt to clear a cetacean carcass from a beach which prompted one reporter to say “The blast blasted blubber beyond all believable bounds”

According to my local food bank, $1 = 2 meals.
So a donation of $25 is 50 meals.
A little can go a long way and you *can* make a difference.

Just a reminder that even if/when SNAP benefits start flowing again, the crisis for food banks will not be over. They'll still have low inventory and many SNAP recipients will also be stocking up on items. And then you add on the typical holiday rush. The need will continue to be great.

![Zohran text:
"The Angel of History must look just so. His face is turned towards the past. Where we see the appearance of a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe, which unceasingly piles rubble on top of rubble and hurls it before his feet. He would like to pause for a moment so fair [verweilen: a reference to Goethe’s Faust], to awaken the dead and to piece together what has been smashed."
—Walter Benjamin, "On the Concept of History"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:474ldquxwzrlcvjhhbbk2wte/bafkreih7sdkpsszpqppnq2hwsbjpfln5uhunb7xu4bsutf2uxgkkysjbdm@jpeg)

With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

Because when eradication is not possible, elimination is. We’ve been so relentlessly stupid when accepting the Live With modo. Measles can be eliminated, with vaccination, we did it. Airborne diseases, flu, Covid… can be eliminated w/ indoor air safety and respiratory masks. We still have to decide.
Is Canada losing the battle against #measles? Country could soon lose elimination status. Q+A w/ @msmacrophage.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... via @cbcnews.ca #vaccination

PSA: Covid cases can be infectious for over a week. A friend with Covid is still testing highly positive on rapid tests after 8 days.
If your rapid test is positive you are still infectious. Stay home, mask up, ventilate indoor spaces so you don’t spread it to others.
