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.

A graph of Covid rates. It's more complex than can be described here, but the important bit is that the rates have gone up a lot since late July, nearly to the heights of last winter.

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

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."

this guy, a veteran, is going to be protesting outside the museum tomorrow starting at 10am asking personally for the resignation of the predator. he hasn't asked for anything but i wonder if maybe we'd like to send him some pizza?

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)

PUBLIC HEALTH ORDER NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SECRETARY GINA DEBLASSIE AUGUST 29, 2025 Ensuring Availability of COVID-19 Vaccine for the 2025-2026 Season

THIS ORDER supersedes any previous order, proclamation, or directives to the extent they are in conflict. This Public Order shall take effect immediately and remain in effect until such time as it automatically expires one year from the date of issuance, or until such time as the New Mexico Department of Health Cabinet Secretary rescinds it.

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.

okay a real answer though Cyndi lauper as the recurring psychic medium on bones is pretty great

@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.

THIS IS NOT MAKING AMERICA SAFER.

the current political climate has just made so many things not enjoyable for me anymore

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.

why do they always gotta show the dinos fighting on shows about dinos. most of the time surely they were just having a pleasant leaf snack or wading in a creek, etc

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 don’t care what that study says. The four presentations of Autism are Parker, Hardison, Elliot, and Breanna.

Study finds no evidence aluminum salts in vaccines are tied to higher risk of asthma, other childhood diseases A new large study from Denmark finds no evidence that aluminum salts used in vaccines are tied to a higher risk of childhood diseases.

A very big study from Denmark generates some reassuring findings about aluminum in childhood vaccines, finding no association between aluminum and development of a number of illnesses, including asthma. www.statnews.com/2025/07/14/a...

Star Wars actor dies after contracting Covid and pneumonia The acclaimed actor ‘passed away peacefully with friends at his bedside’

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.

No war with Iran, free Iran, free Palestine. This is the only take.

him and his baby 😭 I might actually cry

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.

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

a photo grid of dolls with protest t-shirts and signs.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

I want to take my baby to pride and spend time with my local queer community but pride has
- cops
- covid/no masking
- the chance of running into people I’d prefer not to see

but I haven’t really been to Pride in 5ish years and I miss it 😭

if you ever feel heavy because you care deeply about injustice, suffering and ecological destruction, remember that a trillion dollar propaganda machine was built to make you numb and it didn't work on you ✨

what are some good fabric websites for my mom who has always bought fabric from joann's but joann's is gone now. she would like natural fibers as cheaply as possible and she has a degree in textile and can barely use computers

I was just putting Orin to bed and he said, “I don’t know how to use my life,” so now there’s three of us in the house like this.
