ALSO.
If you're just coming across this news now, and thinking about what you can do to support disabled people like Alice in your community.

i’m begging you all to please mask up in the memory of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social who wasn’t able to mask anymore after a certain point, and all others who can’t mask.

that could be *you,* if enough things go wrong.

it’s also all the babies and toddlers whose lives are just beginning.
please #MaskUp, folks. if we go back to actually stopping the spread of #covid again, there will be less covid, and thus, less long covid and other associated sequelae.
COVID-19: "As of November 11, 2025, we estimate that COVID-19 infections are growing or likely growing in 20 states, declining or likely declining in 9 states, and not changing in 18 states."

The numbers are mind-boggling and make my blood boil.

But good news is they’ll come down in 5 years give or take, so it won’t be a permanent thing if we can stop the launches.

Bad news is they’ll come down and pummel the ozone layer. www.cnet.com/home/interne...
Starlink Plans to Send 42K Satellites Into Space. That Could Be Bad News for the Ozone
Starlink already accounts for 40% of all the satellites ever launched, and each one releases harmful aluminum oxides when deorbited.

I really am going to get a lot of mileage out of this video in the current discourse.

Excellent to see the Republicans speedrunning the neckbeard Usenet arguments of "technically, it's ephebophila."

A+, no notes, totally sane country not completely broken by the reification of white supremacy into an entire structure of rule.
