Got a free dinner from a local BBQ restaurant that is giving away meals to help people affected by the shutdown, and I will say the best sauce is actually the feeling of being taken care of by your community.

I cannot afford to go to geek girl con this year and it very well might be the last one ever, so, definitely no symbolic meaning to that.

Hey, so...Covid rates have gotten real high. Maybe change your behavior to fit this new risk profile? Stop eating indoors at restaurants, mask on mass transit, that kind of thing?

This is a great thread for those who aren’t Terminally Online like the rest of us
last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper"

anyways, great news! (1/X)

It's not lost on me in the midst of this eulogizing and memorializing a monster that my home state, Florida, has made it a crime to commemorate or remember the victims of the Pulse massacre.

In America, only some deaths are considered grievable. The rest of us are just "collateral damage."

FYI folks, the Big Holidays coming up are:

Rosh Hashanah is Mon 22 Sep-24 Sep
Yom Kippur is Wed 1 Oct - 2 Oct

And also? You don't have to KNOW who's Jewish to not schedule meetings these days. Just do it.

(AND DON'T BE ALL "WE HAVE TO MOVE IT BECAUSE [PERSON] IS JEWISH" THAT'S TACKY & GROSS)
PUT 👏🏻 JEWISH 👏🏻 HOLIDAYS 👏🏻 IN 👏🏻 YOUR 👏🏻 CALENDARS

The head of my org is Jewish. I have the Jewish holidays calendar on my work calendar so I don't schedule meetings during important holidays! I don't want him to have to do that calculus!
NASA scheduled a major workshop for early career researchers during the most important week of the Jewish calendar, during two of the most important days of that week and expects me to accept that this was “difficult scheduling conflicts”

That’s what casual antisemitism sounds like

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

If you’ve ever compared unvaccinated kids to vaccinated kids, you’ve seen the former are more likely to die.

@seattletimes reports federal officers from US Customs & Border Patrol showed up to ask for IDs, order the firefighters not to record the incident, arrest two members of the fire fighting crew.

I wish I could just enjoy things like I used to, but it’s hard to be excited for billionaires when they’re ignoring a genocide and I can’t even afford my rent 🙃 I’ve been a fan of Taylor Swift since she started making music but I’m just not able to feel excited like I used to and it sucks so much

If he was going around saying 25 year old women are too young to make decisions about abortion, I wonder if he’d have such diehard lib support. Bodily autonomy is bodily autonomy.
Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader?

I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.
I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.
On a recent podcast Gavin Newsom tells Shawn Ryan how the Trans sports issue opened the door for him to change his mind on GAC for Trans Youth.

As someone who adored him since 2004 and voted for him 5 times, I can't wait for him to leave office.

There is no way I will be voting for him a 6th time.

He was admitted after he fell and injured his arm. But because there are absolutely zero transmission protocols in hospitals and they let disease fly around and don’t require masks he got Covid there and died.

This is not a unique story. Last I read 30% of Covid cases are hospital-acquired.

In libraries, we call this vocational awe. The idea that if you are invested in your calling, you should accept low wages/inhumane conditions is a nasty little trick of capitalism.

I’m an author, I’m hungry, I care deeply about my work, AND I deserve to be paid for it.
The "Starving artist" trope was started by ppl who didn't wanna pay artists (writers, painters, musicians, etc) & wanted it to seem a good thing. Artists suffering for art, starving artists, doing it for love only/shunning money - All myth turned folklore as reason to NOT FUCKING PAY US OUR DUE.
