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.
Hey, if it kills you, you definitely won’t get it again!

Tomorrow's Bandcamp Friday fundraiser will be for The Trans Continental Pipeline, helping trans folks leave hostile states (ahem, Kansas) for Colorado.
Amazing! Thank you

if not war then why war shaped
Aaaaah that’s my favorite mask!
I’m so sorry for your loss 💜
I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.
I just learned that Northside Mutual Aid (supporting North Minneapolis families impacted by ICE) is still trying to meet $80,000 in rent needs from FEBRUARY.
Can we move some funds in their direction? 🌻
😭
Ain’t that the truth!

A remarkably disheartening thing is you get the sense there are a handful of genuine historic fork in the road moments of what kind of country we want in our lifetime, and I still can’t shake how much during the height of Covid we had a decision of what lessons we’d all take from it and what…
The chief of police of quakertown Pennsylvania choked a teen girl on camera and the footage is on the Pennsylvania subreddit.
INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday.
They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social
