i think people tend to forget that being able to get a passport is VERY much a privilege. i absolutely understand the push these past few months to encourage people to get them (especially in the US) - but not everyone can. $130+ is not affordable for a LOT of us.

What is one simple act of resistance that will absolutely infuriate any authoritarian determined to make the world ignore pandemics and climate change?

genuinely so proud of how well i’ve been doing with my reading this year so far! i know it’s only a couple weeks in, but i’ve finished 4 books so far (and i’m on a 53 day reading streak!) and just am really excited about that. :)
how are y’all doing with your 2025 reading goal? #booksky

a reminder that audiobooks count as reading, because they ARE reading, and to believe otherwise is inherently ableist.

#RVA water update: Henrico County (all of it, including the western side now) is on a boil water advisory too, for probably at least 24-48 hours it seems. be careful, y’all.

can i have your best agoraphobia tips and information? genuinely it’s taken over my life, and i’m struggling to do ANYthing.
the only real tip i’ve gotten is exposure therapy, but i also need other options til i get to that point (anxiety meds help, but i’m trying to compile info - ANY info helps).

ehlers danlos syndrome will never not shock me in some way from the sheer ridiculousness of it. because what do you MEAN i shifted in bed (the audacity 🫢) and my hip hopped out of its assigned seat?? like what actually even is that

if you aren’t taking covid precautions, can you really call yourself an advocate or activist for marginalized communities of any kind?
masking is an easy way to show your solidarity. please do.

when i tell you i am in the WORST reading slump 😭 could use some #BookRecs to get me out of it!
only thing i don’t read really is fantasy/romantasy, favourite genres are contemporary lit, lit fic, thrillers, maaaybe romance occasionally, and mythology retellings

MMJ 💨🍃 is so incredibly lifesaving for me and a lot of other people. being chronically ill and disabled with VERY high pain levels daily and a bunch of other debilitating symptoms, nothing else even gives me *close* to the same level of relief that gardening does. also helps my mental health! 💚

it’s pretty horrifying to watch what is happening to public health.
i don’t know about everyone else working in healthcare, but i’m seeing the ramifications of it every day

US: 60% of Americans say they probably won’t get an updated COVID-19 vaccine.

The only way to prevent long covid is to prevent catching covid.
Long covid has over 200 symptoms and no cure.
Covid harms every organ system.
The pandemic is ongoing.
Mask up in public spaces.
Whatever health you have left is worth protecting.
