Doing a little light googling of the Spanish Flu and apparently "The United States lost more people to the Spanish flu in 1918 than World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War combined." and yet the only reason we call it the Spanish Flu is cause Spain admitted people were dying

Working in child welfare and in close proximity to police for 16 years made me a hard-core abolitionist. Carceral systems can not be decolonized, and diversity is just a strategy to gain access to marginalized communities.

“Our policies enabled us to achieve zero nosocomial infections, zero outbreaks.”

Platforms are reluctant to admit that they are making editorial choices. I’ll put it this way: you don’t have to be a fancy spot with a dress code, but if people know it’s ok to shit on the floor in your establishment you’re going to get a lot of floor shitters and other customers will go elsewhere.

The Aedes japonicus mosquito continues to spread through Europe, now on the way to northern Europe and Sweden 🇸🇪

Iowa has this unbelievable new child labor law where bosses can now hire 16-year-olds for mining jobs, 15-year-olds on assembly lines, and 14-year-olds for work in meat coolers.

And the state labor department has now released this pamphlet. Swear to god this is real.

Forgive my tired, Jewish, disabled ass for not having one iota of patience with this “let’s be civil to Nazis” bollocks. They should feel as fucking unwelcome everywhere they go as they want the rest of us to feel.

This is asinine.

“Citing 13 different studies of laboratory-confirmed viral respiratory infections, a summary chart at the end of the presentation concludes there is ‘no difference between surgical masks & N95s in preventing respiratory infections.’”
