There’s no rationale for this ignorance any more. There are thousands of credible studies. There are thousands of online advocates trying to hand-feed people basic information on transmission and risk. There are thousands of news articles. If you still don’t get it, you just don’t want to.

So it goes without saying, but let's say it anyway: the concentration of attacks on trans people isn't because trans people are the only people fascists hate (although they absolutely do hate them). It's because they're the people they think non-fascists are least likely to defend.

I remember a lockdown in high school that shook me up. I can only imagine how they are feeling. My teacher acted like it was the real thing. Found out in the next class it was a planned drill.

Read up on European and Korean general strike tactics and organising. Americans don’t know how to do this, in part because of its size, in part because of the brutal history of union busting, and in part because of its cult of individualism.

People’s worth should NOT be determined by whether they’re healthy or unhealthy, abled or disabled, immunocompromised or not

People’s worth should NOT be determined by your political ideology or your religious beliefs or your fav political or religious leader’s opinion

A few uncomfortable truths:

COVID is MORE β€œcommon” than the β€œcommon cold”

It circulates MORE than the flu, even during β€œflu season”

There’s no β€œCOVID season” as COVID is present all year round

These are facts that ppl find hard to accept as it would mean they need to wear a mask in public spaces

Vaccination prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection does not affect the neurologic manifestations of long COVID Mukherjee et al. report that vaccination prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection does not affect the neurological manifestations of Long COVID. Minor symptom differe

"While vaccination decreases the severity of acute COVID infection, the sobering conclusion of our study is that vaccination prior to infection did not alter the subsequent neurologic manifestations of long COVID in our clinic population."

Don't forget. Even if only 1/1000 are COVID aware and careful, that's 8,000,000 worldwide.

A lot of things suck in this lifetime, but I remember when the thought of this was incomprehensible. This is beautiful.

That CEO? She couldn’t even look at me when I came out as trans at work. My very existence made her angry. And unfortunately I can get pregnant so she’s wrong about men not being able to get pregnant.

I used to work in healthcare. The org I worked for started to use gender neutral language around pregnancy thanks to my coworker. CEO stopped that today bc β€œmen can’t get pregnant.” Transphobia on full display. The little progress made is being stripped away. Im not surprised but its still bullshit.

Becoming disabled is *the* most radicalizing thing that can happen to you because it happens atop whatever marginalizations you already have, amplifies them into a laser focus.

For cishet white men, it can be the first time they've *ever* experienced marginalization.

Then the legal field wouldn’t be nearly as insufferable and we can’t have that.

Liberty is a private Christian college (as you know). Affordable my ass. I know one woman who went there. She had to hide her sexuality so she didn’t get kicked out. That place is awful.

The Once Upon A Broken Heart trilogy is great. It’s a fantasy romance. It’s light. I’ve never finished the series in a week and a half.

Seeing Wicked in a half hour and I’m not ready. I love this show. I know the reviews are amazing and I love Cynthia as Elphaba from all the clips. I’m prob gonna cry for 2.5 hours.
