13.09.2025 05:31 โ ๐ 6 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Sad to see this from Hotez, I really respect his work.
11.09.2025 20:15 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0Y'all don't understand, that's their emotional support banning of Gretchen Felker-Martin.
11.09.2025 18:49 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Itโs an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

10.09.2025 23:59 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

03.09.2025 23:31 โ ๐ 16 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Came to the comments to say exactly this. And expressing pain or flinching (which you canโt control!) is seen as an inconvenience.
03.09.2025 22:13 โ ๐ 16 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Wishing everyone great success in the Hobonichi Wars. I managed to score some Tomie items, but it was a whole coordinated effort among multiple people.

30.08.2025 04:47 โ ๐ 44 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0If you were a user or admirer of NOAAโs amazing climate.gov website - which has had all the good stuff (e.g., actual data and climate monitoring indices) removed by government - some web and data gurus/guerrillas are about to launch a recreation at climate.us.
Follow @climate.us for launch updates.
And if you want proof of this, go look at the comments on the original post. Disgusting.

On the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, what we wonโt be doing is using language that implicitly puts Louisiana residents at fault.

also, I did not die. You won't either.
๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ I canโt even argue with this interpretation, I love it so much! Itโs not what I meant, but thatโs a small aside to such an earnest assessment of the movie Ghost. Maybe I should have said a โWish I had Written Moreโ ghost?
