Do you know if it is intended to be a neutralizing vaccine (as in, stopping transmission), or would it work the same as the currently available vaccines and just decrease the severity of acute symptoms?

Omg I was obsessed with her when I was a kid. A legend.

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

Possibly anticipating that he and his goons won't be welcome in any restaurants? A whole plane seems excessive though.

In praise of librarians

Vampires are always like "I could kill you if I wanted" Yeah? So what. I'm on immunosuppressants. So could the common cold.

One of the things that keeps me going in the ongoing fight against COVID and for Long COVID treatments is how far we’ve gotten with HIV. If you organize with us we can do this too

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Four more people w/ #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis died this past week and no one except other #pwME is discussing it b/c most don't know.

"Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" was a hideous misnomer from the start--crushing fatigue is one symptom out of 200--& the CDC failed miserably in coining the name in 1988

On Monday I'll be officially announcing an artist search for a book cover illustration (not cover design, just the illo). Budget is €1,500 ($1,770). No AI. No spec work required!

If any #artist, #illustrator, or #designer out there has suggestions on where else I could publicize this, let me know!

The United Nations have warned that in less than 2 years we are heading to a fresh water crisis which will likely result in water rationing. AI use is accelerating this. The makers of AI won’t stop cos they’ll be last to be hit by the water crisis. They’ll watch as we fight for vital resources.

In case nobody has told you yet today:
1. You are allowed to rest.
2. Your pain is real.
3. Wombats are the only animals that poop in perfect cubes and they stack them like little brown bricks to mark territory.
4. You are not a burden.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, given that most Americans felt just fine about Biden falsely declaring the pandemic over while vulnerable people continue to get slaughtered by it. They are fine with any level of mass death as long as they get to live without any mild inconvenience.

Maybe it’s time for normal people to understand that no one should be so rich that they & their 10 closest friends can destroy all of society several times over.

1 - what it's like living the rest of your life with a tolerable level of chronic illness [guy's face just above water] 2 - [guy completely underwater, from the side, his face just above it saying 'at least i'm not drowning'] just because you can survive it, doesn't mean you should have to. it's ok to say you're not ok. artist: sako asko mybodyistryingtokillme.com

This was a pretty clear statement that I'm keeping an eye out for a

2D artist

who can make this to help me offset at least one bit of a gigantic task list. It's not a lot of work, not a big project/budget, can be lines only. Portraits are meant for dialog UI so no no-lines vector artist/painter.

Today is a good day to follow and support news outlets that avoid generative AI slop:

Exactly—people need to understand the implicit threat here, especially given that we live in a society where we’re regularly told that unhoused, disabled, or out-of-work people don’t deserve to live.

Everyone thought this was the “end”. Because of these types of misinformation articles.

When you are traumatized you’ll latch onto anything that seems like a way out, especially if it’s easy.

I’m sure many people now believe we did achieve “herd immunity” even though it obviously never happened.

There is no way we are going to fix any of this shit without looking back at how we got here.

And making sure we don’t do it again.

This goes for a lot of bullshit rn.

Like even if it wasn’t rampant SARS still around six years later, I would mask for measles Jfc.

Don’t let them fool you. 😷😷

@hehimta on twitter quote tweet update: jk rowling has somehow (despite maritime law) wiped over a decade of port logs/etc, her boat is completely delisted. strange behaviour. @hehimta on twitter oh tweet BREAKING A just watched in realtime as jk rowling's superyacht samsara was completely removed from marinetraffic and other services, not just AIS off; the entire vessel...

Following the release of the Epstein files Jk Rowling has deleted a decade of port logs belonging to the Super yacht Samsara.

What is she hiding?

The measles outbreak in the Dilley Detention facility will disable and kill children.

It’s not a flaw or an accident.

This is the system working as intended.

Fascism and eugenics go hand in hand.

They want the “others” to die.

Disease spread is a tool of the colonizer.

She gets her checks direct deposited into her bank account, there is no physical check.

Disabled housebound friend in FL had her disability checks suddenly stop coming for no apparent reason, and she can't get anyone on the phone from SSA. She's also locked out of the online portal. Anyone on #disabilitySky have a tip on a good number she can call to get answers? Rent now overdue.

You cannot talk about the measles outbreak without talking about the widespread erosion of public health - from vaccines to COVID mitigations. ICE facilities have been wracked with TB, measles, and COVID outbreaks. Community spread stops with you. Wear a fit tested N95.

Map of the United States titled “COVID-19 Heat Map, Based on CDC Wastewater Data and Levels (U.S.)” dated Feb 2, 2026. States are color-coded from very low to very high transmission, with much of the Midwest and parts of the South shown as high or very high.

@chronicMyalgicE on x why is it, that when you're sick and you're not getting better, people automatically assume you must be doing something wrong. Nobody says "i see you're trying so hard" while we're trying so hard. #MECFS

Because I'm talking about measles. It is also A VERY VERY VERY CONTAGIOUS VIRUS. If someone is in a room and has measles and then leaves that room and you enter that room within TWO HOURS (depending on humidity) you can get measles.

And people are contagious for four days before the rash appears.

A judge had to issue a court order to ensure ICE provided seizure medication to a detainee, and that detainee still didn’t get their medication.

ICE enforcement is a disability justice issue.

They’re a eugenicist movement.

They want the “sick and weak” to die:

"I only use ChatGPT to..."

Shut. The. Fucker. OFF.

You wanna know what's "Millenial Cringe"? Using this for any reason.
