Illustration of Roronoa Zoro holding a bottle. He's wearing a checked loose robe and orange tinted glasses, and has a snarky expression on his face. The bottle hes holding is clear and has liquid pouring out of it into the background, creating colorful blue and purple waves. Behind the waves are a bright red sun with yellow sunbeams.

Things we want people to know. 6 years after the start* of the COVID-19 pandemic. *The day the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This was not the date of the first case. It’s not just a cold. We wish it were just a cold. We would not keep talking about it if so. Since 2020, doctors, scientists, and millions of people who have had COVID-19 have learned that it can cause permanent damage to multiple organ systems within your body, leave you disabled and unable to do the things you love, and significantly harm your quality of life.  A cold cannot disable or kill you the way COVID-19 can. We know a lot more about prevention than we did back then.  We all remember when we thought maybe we’d be ok as long as we were 6 feet away from sick people; that masks worked one way but not the other; and more. But just like with all new viruses and scientific study, we learned more as 
there was more time to 
study and observe, and we 
now know that wearing masks 
and keeping cleaner air are key to 
protecting ourselves and others. Now that we know better, we can (and should) better protect ourselves and others. We understand the frustration about vaccines, but they are still extremely important. We all remember when vaccines were first made available, and it would’ve been great if that was the end of the pandemic. It wasn’t. And a lot of people have gotten frustrated and have given up on vaccination. It’s true, the virus that causes COVID-19 changes (which is why, like the annual flu shot, we need to get updated COVID-19 vaccines each year), and the vaccines we have now will not eliminate COVID-19 on their own. But they are still very effective at preventing serious illness and death, so 
even though they are not the one quick
solution to the pandemic we all wish they 
were, they are still extremely important, 
and we should all stay up to date.

This week marked the anniversary of the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve summarized our thoughts a bit below, but tl;dr: Unfortunately, COVID-19 is still with us, & although we may be tired of hearing about it, it’s extremely important to continue to take steps to protect ourselves & others.

A German-language census record. It shows an unknown word.

perhaps it's because i've had a special drink, but i absolutely cannot figure out what this word is. context: it's in german (which i speak), listing the occupation or trade of a wife and her husband in 1840. i assume it's wife and husband because of the ditto sign. #genealogy

No book is going to turn kids into someone else. But books will regularly show kids other people like them and show those kids they're not alone. And they'll show kids other types of people who also exist. There is a large proportion of the population who are terrified of this.

1) These are gorgeous, and I looove that the dogs are wearing them throughout the race. (I at first assumed they were just for the ceremonial start!)
2) The lefthand dog in that first photo is definitely related to my own retired former racer.

I like when people say "ai is here, you'll get left behind." Brother, I do not want to be dragged along to the land of piss tinted glossy cheap looking art and poorly assembled words cosplaying as a book written by someone who thinks it gets style points per em dash. Leave me where I am.

A digital drawing of Bartolomeo, Roronoa Zoro and Leo from One Piece. They are drawn on some nondescript countertop and Zoro is holding beer, Leo sits on the countertop and Bartolomeo sits his face on his hand. They all have expressions of “fondness” or “love” as they blush and a though bubble appears above them containing drawings of Sanji, Mansherry and Cavendish from One Piece with annoyed faces respectively drawn above the Zoro, Leo and Bartolomeo. Another collective thought bubble is drawn below the three men which reads “Dramatic Blond(e)s…” with hearts drawn in the bubble and around the characters’ faces. The image is mostly in white with pink used for the blush and the edges of the bubbles, green used in some parts of the three bottom characters and yellow/gold used to color the three top characters’ hair, to emphasize the fact that the “green” characters each have a “blonde” character to match. And they’re in love…

According to the unwritten rules of One Piece, every green colored man MUST have a corresponding dramatic, hot-headed, beautiful, prissy blond(e), or they will DIE‼️‼️
