"[I]n here ... we all help one another when it comes to college."

election counting still happening in Honduras while Trump has released JOH. thinking a lot about this piece I wrote 5 yrs ago, and especially the Hondurans who taught me the history of the coup: inthesetimes.com/article/hond...

ooh yeah i had my own personal troll who used to send me spreadsheets of TERF "studies". eventually she just gave up!

ooof i'm sorry. those can suck sometimes!

trying not to have a nervous breakdown so I logged in here?

I understand that there are a lot of people out there who think they have good intentions and love to take their ideological opponents in good faith because it makes them seem fair and reasonable and I truly cannot overstate how dangerous this is to trans people and how much they should stop

NWU recently implemented a simple, plain-language policy governing AI use for union business. We think it can serve as an example for organizations that want to protect members’ privacy and ensure creative work is done by creative workers. #NewsNotSlop nwu.org/ai-policy

that's very kind of you to offer! nothing is that timely on my end, i'm just upset at how effectively they are fucking up my solidarity work you know?

i love my huge walk/guest suite in my house!

yeah that's how they roll. what's more upsetting is that i'm pretty sure this is the exact same problem i already fixed 6 months ago, which is that Securus blocked me but JPay doesn't need to?

i like the coat bath myself 😂

oh yeah, we better get on board because this shit is definitely gonna replace all our jobs LOLOLOL

thank you! Here's the result:
"there are no notes associated with this block so i have to put in a ticket with the support team. You can call back in 72 hours for an update."

still wondering at the end of the day whether i'm scared that my die-hard democrat mom is sounding like Trump, or that the president sounds exactly like my mom who can no longer verify her own identity or state her address

winding down my day on the phone with support at Jp*y so you know it's been a Great Day TM

chat, i am not joking when i say that my mom says this exact thing

hey so if you’re not feeling well, please don’t go into work. if you have to, wear a mask. tbh wear a mask either way—it’s four days after thanksgiving. covid incubation time tends to be ~3-5 days. it’s peak get infected if you aren’t already time.

test for it. get paxlovid.
prevent it. mask up.

Two structures next to each other with their doors open. The structure on the left contains dry goods on shelves. The structure on the right contains a refrigerator. The structures are in front of a colorful mural.

Now open: new pantry structure! Right next to the fridge structure, the pantry will provide nonperishable items. Take what you need, leave what you can

what is the best way you've found to suggest to people in your life that they need to eat something and have some water, and maybe a deep breath?

i find that pretty much everyone needs this reminder at some point (myself very very much included) but pretty much everyone hates to hear it.

wonderful opportunity to connect in Minneapolis <3

wish i was there but will share with my peops who are!

this message is so helpful for so many people. thank you.

maybe making little care packages of mulling spices and teas and dropping them off for local friends.

mailing people stuff.

feeling generative is to think about winter gatherings that might be relatively low effort to organize and covid safer. getting a little heater for my garage maybe to have that as an option, thinking about what kinds of outdoor activities are fun (like hikes) and how to get folks warmer clothes.

I've been thinking about this. In my social network there are so many people struggling and I feel overwhelmed right now by the support I'm trying to offer in various directions. Thinking about how to make sure I have what I need as well as am doing what I can for everyone else. Right now what's...

looking forward to reading this one later too

I didn't have to answer any pre-existing condition or medical questions other than have you had this vaccine in the last 2 months and maybe one about if I had COVID recently.

fully covered by my ACA insurance. Get boosted y'all!

thought it might be useful to share that I went to CVS this weekend to get a Novavax COVID vaccine booster and it was easy-ish. I walked in and asked for Novavax. the pharmacist did not have it on hand, but offered to get it from another CVS and had it the next day for me. 1/2

great idea for observing tomorrow's national day of mourning
