A square burgundry graphic with "SAVE THE DATE" at the top in like a serial killer scrapbook collage font. below it is a sassy green rat with a crown and a smirk and his hands on his hips. The text says: The Poster's Madness Rat King Special 2026 A Fundraiser For Mutual Aid Supporting Communities Under Attack Tuesday, February 24th 8:30 - 11 pm EST (5:30 - 8 pm PST)

ATTENTION BLUESKY

you don't want to watch the State of the Union next week

you want to watch a PowerPoint party telethon of your favorite Bluesky super posters delivering their most unhinged hot takes to raise money for mutual aid in Twin Cities and Portland

Poster's Madness for a good cause!!!!

IDEA: A reboot of "The Office," but instead of Michael Scott being a branch manager of a regional paper company, he's the director of the FBI.

it was never an Epstein scandal
it is an Epstein system
and we are still living in it

80s style retrowave meme that says EAT SHIT ANDREW

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

The bologna-hued shit child of RFK, now approximately 120 years old, shirtless as though anyone wants that, torturing an exercise machine from the 1970s while the worm behind his eyes looks camera-ward, a slippery white eel (Kid Rock? Or a cardboard standee of some kind?) doing pushups with great difficulty in the background

If STDs worked out

I’m going to say again, infecting your allies with a potentially debilitating and deadly illness is extremely foolish behavior in any kind of movement. You’re doing work for the other guys.

Ah, it's also ace week, lmao

If you didn't know, I'm on the spectrum. Not sure exactly where anymore, but nevertheless, Go Queers.

OK, carry on

If you want to fight fascism, you must practice disability justice.

If you’re claiming to be on the left but believe disabled people are “expendable”, you’re aligning with fascists.

If you are against tyranny but refer to people like me as “a drain”, you’re carrying water for the Nazis.

‘Suicide is only one option': Social Security staff newly assigned to phone duties raise concerns over training Experts and SSA employees question wisdom of telling callers in crisis that suicide is an option.

Eugenics and fascism have always gone hand in hand.

Disabled people tried to warn you.

AI chat bots have “suggested” suicide.

Assisted dying policies are on the rise.

SSA staff have been told to tell disability applicants that suicide is an option.

It’s a cull.

Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

I understand the reasons why it’s more jarring and consequential to see it happen among billionaires, but the kind of shrugging disinterest or impishly approving encouragement of sexual abuse among Epstein’s circle is the same dynamic that happens in less powerful milieus.

A photo of the Opera House in Sydney, Australia. The building, which resembles white sails, its lit by orange sunlight and contrasted with a blue sky. Two people in the distance take photos of the building. The text reads, “The Sick Times. Long COVID research updates. A large prospective cohort study found that a majority of people with Long COVID did not recover. Some researchers in Australia are getting a small boost in Long COVID funding. The biotech company Invivyd is advancing research of a COVID-19 monoclonal antibody called VYD2311.” T

A large prospective cohort study published in Infectious Diseases found that a majority of people with Long COVID did not recover. Of the 3,590 individuals with Long COVID included in the U.K. study, only around 33% achieved “satisfactory recovery.” Still, the study did not account for reinfections, and other studies have found an even slimmer recovery rate of only 6–9% in the first 2–3 years. The authors concluded that people with Long COVID in their cohort had significant and prolonged functional impairment, and that a majority are “of working age.”

Some researchers in Australia are getting a small boost in Long COVID funding. Three projects at the University of New South Wales won grants totalling $4.7 million AUD ($3.3 million USD) to study the disease and improve patient care. One of those projects is the SAGE Trial, which aims to educate primary care providers about Long COVID, while other funding will support diagnostic and clinical research. In addition, a professor at Melbourne’s La Trobe University received $1 million AUD ($697,000 USD) in funding for the CRISP Project to study biomarkers for the disease linked to “food and drink sensitivity.”

The biotech company Invivyd is advancing research of a COVID-19 monoclonal antibody called VYD2311, designed to improve upon the currently-available Pemgarda. A phase three clinical trial testing the product’s ability to prevent acute COVID-19 is currently recruiting in 20 locations across 16 states. And the company announced last week that it has planned a phase two trial of the drug for treating Long COVID and Post-COVID Vaccine Syndrome, expected to start “by mid-2026.” Researchers previously discussed this potential trial at a National Institutes of Health workshop last fall, but it is proceeding without NIH funding.

Long COVID is here to stay—even in children Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC, also known as long COVID) are complex, multisystem, long-lasting complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection that profoundly impact the daily life of those...

“The take-home message from this study is clear: long COVID is here to stay, even in children, & can be exacerbated by reinfections and sustained by high viral circulation. …Without decisive action, the long-term societal cost of long COVID will continue to rise.”

Take his personal army away from him while you can, you stupid, stupid assholes. You’re like an armadillo playing dead in the middle of the road so the semi won’t hurt you

If we need every voice in this fight, we need to stop giving people a disabling virus. Respirators save lives and make it safe for your high risk brothers and sisters to join you!

I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

What the article fails to mention is that NO amount of ABA helps autistics.

What it does do, however, according to numerous studies and speaking to almost any autistic person who has gone thru it (I have), is cause long term trauma.

If you think it's bizarre for your date to ask you to take a Covid test but normal for them to ask you to wear a condom, what's the difference? Are only some pathogens worth preventing?
