If you want to buy HOCL first before investing in the machine, you can purchase premade solution on Amazon. But I strongly discourage anyone from aerosolizing HOCL. At higher concentrations it can be damaging and we need to know exactly how how strong our solution is. It is safe for squirt spraying

Harry, Check it out. This is on the back of the Briotech surface & air bottles. It says you can use a humidifier which would give you a very nice plume of micro-aerosols if you wanted to huff it & you can get a good one for less than $50 🤷🏼‍♀️

I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself

Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃

I think it needs tweaking but it's a good start. 25 years ago at a dinner party someone asked if there was one thing you could change in the world what would it be. We immediately answered "End corporate personhood." The group of liberal friends thought we were crazy. Then Citizens United happened
End Citizens United. Alternatively, make every CEO, board of directors, and executive leadership personally civilly and criminally liable for corporate crimes, liability and misconduct

The Original Star Wars Trilogy Adapted into a 14-Hour Radio Drama by NPR (1981–1996)
When it opened in 1977, Star Wars revived the old-fashioned swashbuckling adventure film. Within a few years, National Public Radio made a bet that it could do the same for the radio drama.

the two fallacies at work are that a) the purpose of making art is making good art (it's not; that's why we sing in the shower) and that b) making art is an inborn talent that you either have or don't, and therefore craft doesn't require practice and training (also laughably incorrect)

Every time there's a post about how writers shouldn't use AI art, some chucklefuck in the comments says it's not fair because "some people just don't have art skills."

So, from a former "person without art skills," here's a 🧵 about the cool shit that's happened since I decided to make art anyway.

With alt text. This was posted 2 years ago by TheXMan2024 in the xmen Reddit
MCU & Civil Rights X-Men is about civil rights. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get X-Men. Black Panther is about civil rights. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get Black Panther. Captain America literally fought Nazis. He is the embodiment of fighting the alt-right. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get Captain America. The Empire in Star Wars is fascist. The Rebel alliance are Anti-Fascist. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get Star Wars. The Punisher isn’t meant to be a role model for police or armed forces. So much so that the writers of The Punisher made him actively speak out against it in a comic. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get The Punisher. Deadpool is queer. He’s pansexual. Fact. If you didn’t get that you didn’t get Deadpool. Star Trek is about equality for all genders, races and sexualities. As early as the mid-60s it was taking a pro-choice stance and defending women’s right to choose. One of its clearest themes is accepting different cultures and appearances and working together for peace. (It’s also anti-capitalist and pro-vegan). If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get Star Trek. Superman and Supergirl (and a whole host of other superheroes) are immigrants. The stance of those comics is pro-immigration and pro-equality and acceptance. If you didn’t get that, you didn’t get Superman or Supergirl. Stan Lee said “Racism and bigotry are among the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today.” If you’re bigoted or racist, you didn’t get any of the characters Stan Lee created. The stories we grew up with all taught us to value other people and cultures and to treasure the differences between us. Only villains were xenophobic, or sexist, or racist, or totalitarian. I can’t understand how anyone can have missed that. Part 1 of 2 Part 2 of 2 If you’re upset that there’s a black Spider-Man, or a black Captain America, or a female Thor, or that Ms Marvel is Muslim, or that Captain Marvel was pro-feminism, or any of the other things right wing “fans” say is “stealing their childhood” - you never got it in the first place. The things you claim are now “pandering to the lefties” were never on your side to begin with. If you consider yourself a fan of these things, but you still think the LGBTQ+ community is too “in your face”, or have a problem with Black Lives Matter, or want to “take the country back from immigrants”, then you’re not really a fan at all. Geek culture isn’t suddenly left wing... it always was. You just grew up to be intolerant. You became the villain in the stories you used to love.

We must must must resist the idea that generative AI is inevitable. It is not inevitable. People don't really like it. It doesn't do its job well. It removes the humanity from one of the most human-forward things. Not to mention it is an environmental nightmare. Keep banging the drum. Say no to AI.

A fic doesn't have to be novel-length to be 'worth' writing. Put your short stories, your flashfic, your drabbles out into the world 💕

I’m a public librarian in a degenerating democracy, and I am pleading: Care about your library. Use it. See what programs and events it offers. And pay attention to its governing body. See who the trustees are. Consider running yourself. Libraries will need all the community support they can get. 📚

As we roll into Valentine’s Day, and with Easter looming- it’s time for my annual PSA- these kill cats. Period, full stop. Lily pollen is insanely toxic and will destroy their kidneys in 18 hours. If you have cats- THROW LILIES AWAY. 1/

Meme with the text "me trying to remember literally anything" above a photo of a black cat with its eyes wide and pupils dilated, looking down (creating an expression of concentration or concern) and a circular loading icon edited onto its head.

Heads up: If you have an Adobe account, for Acrobat or Photoshop or whatever: they've turned on the "we will pillage your work for AI" setting. Go to Adobe account website on desktop -> Account and Security -> Data and Privacy Settings -> Content Analysis. Turn it off.
