Tweet from Paula Scanlan that reads, "the number of people I still see wearing face masks in the year 2026 is genuinely concerning" Tweet from Jerome Adams that reads, "Why do you care? Honestly asking. I thought the original mantra was “to each their own.” It sounds like you’re wanting to impose your priorities/belief systems on others while saying they shouldn’t impose theirs on you? What am I missing? Also, beyond Covid – many people have found wearing a mask, has lowered their allergy symptoms- and pollen counts are rising this time of year. And Asian cultures have worn masks for years – are you bothered by Asians? Again honestly asking. 🤷🏽‍♂️"

Appreciate former Sugreon General Jerome Adams pushing back on anti-mask sentiment on Twitter/X

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME

Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.

Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

Happy substitute Rare Diseases Day!

(Official rare diseases day is Feb 29, because it's rare)

I don't think I had ever heard of Eagle Syndrome and here it is being mentioned for the second time today. (The 1st in a comment on fb in an EDS group.) Weird.

Digital graphic of a horse jumping over Korean and English text: 새해 복 많이 받으세요 Happy Lunar New Year Below is a penguin and a bunny wearing traditional hanbok and bowing.

새해 복 많이 받으세요! 🧧
Happy Lunar New Year! 🐴

Still vertigo-y so put this little graphic together instead using some of the sticker designs from this year and a few years ago.

Plus there's a FREE colouring page download on my Patreon as a gift to everybody! 🧧 www.patreon.com/posts/happy-...

We have made zucchini bread with chocolate chips and it's great! We use dark chocolate due to dairy sensitivities.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Even got some jumps in!

Weird that it wouldn't let me post the videos with the pictures in my main post.

No.

I've paid for a streaming service. I don't want to be beholden to their schedule.

I did. There was nothing on when I wanted to watch and what I really wanted to see were events that had already happened.

I was eventually able to find some of what I wanted, but it was ridiculous how much I had to scroll through. The search box was not organized by "most relevant" at all.

Our dilute torti looks up at a neon orange fuzzy "worm" dangling in front of her.

Our dilute torti is looking down at the "worm" which is curled on the floor. She is reaching out a paw to bat at it.

This is the first time Wyldstyle has played like this with me! Previously, she would just play with toys independently or chase the laser pointer.

Their streaming service has sucked so much! I paid just for the olympics and am stuck with unskippable ads and it's nigh impossible to find past events!

Come build with us!

And swimming pools... It may not be per day, but when it all gets averaged out...

I'm so glad the alt text acknowledges that that colorway is the 1970s right there. Exactly. My first thought when I saw it!

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're in engineering with control panels and engineering stuff on the walls and whatnot. We see Picard and Worf, but Picard is a borgs! His whole body is worn in black spandex or rubber or something borgy and he looks to have been transformed into half robot half human, with tubes and wires and mechanics attached to his body and head, including half his face being covered in tech and wires, Phantom of the Opera style. (SING FOR ME, MY ANGEL CHRISTINE!) Picard's whole arm is also now a long metally tool doohickey with sharp smaller tools doohickeys sticking out of the end, and he's holding it to Worf threateningly. Worf, in gold uniform, stands like he's being held at gunpoint. Closed caption reads, "We only wish to raise quality of life." (Editors note, it goes without saying but FUCK ICE)

If you've stopped masking, it's not too late to start again. Remember: the ruling class who help trash our planet with fossil fuels, making pandemics & zoonotic spillover more likely, want us to believe Covid is over

AI can now implant false memories. Yall gotta get your boomers off this shit

Im desperately trying to get my neighbor to stop watching/listening to AI stuff too 😭

I've always thought that the whole "natural immunity is the best way to protect people" thing was a bit like saying "getting pregnant is the best form of birth control."

Anyway, cool to see it's better for the immune system to see vaccine before virus from an effectiveness standpoint too.

General Tom Foolery helping us put away the groceries.

Same. We used to say "having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a pool."

As urine is way less dangerous than smoke or covid (or flu, or measles... etc.) one would hope that knee-jerk reaction of "ew, that's gross" would carry over. 😷
