I think we missed a huge opportunity to normalize masking as a public health tool.
We eradicated an entire strain of the flu with Covid prevention measures.
Masking shows respect for those around you.
It shows solidarity with the disability community.
It shows you value long term health.

There are eerie parallels between what’s happening in Irkutsk and what happened in Wuhan in early 2020.
Doctors claiming the government was hiding the extent of the spread.
Masks being mandated.
Schools being closed.
Pay attention. Listen to independent journalists & locals:

Here’s how you can support the land defenders in Lochiel, AZ. Some had already been previously arrested for the tree-sit protest and now they’re going to need our support more than ever. We all know how this regime treats dissent.

The only world fascists envision is one of metal beams that protects their concrete prisons. These trees did more for our world than any one of these fuckass brownshirts ever could.

If anyone can donate or help share this I would be grateful. I know everyone is going through a lot. I also know this might seem trivial to some folks. But as a disabled person who can sometimes barely walk, even with a cane, this appliance means so much to me. Genuinely.
Okay. Okay. I'm gonna lost my shit. The mini fridge upstairs in our house that I depend on to eat when I'm took disabled to go up and down the stairs just died tonight. It will cost nearly $250 to replace. I don't normally ask for help but I'm going to this time.

FYI, you don't have somewhere on your Twitch stream that you're opted out of the GenAI training, I won't be watching your stream.

I was supposed to stream today, but the GenAI stunt that Twitch is pulling really is grossing me out. The whole thing has been horribly handled, and I can't deal with it today.

Leaked video from an ICE camp details people suffering from tuberculosis, a never ending “flu” & conjunctivitis.
ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event.
These are concentration camps.
They’re a breeding ground for disease which will lead to preventable suffering, disability and death.

Home from vacation & diving immediately into job searching for two. General for me, Post Docs for my spouse.
Let me tell you, looking for Post Docs in 2026 is a completely different beast than it was pre-2025 and all the funding cuts are so disheartening.
At least we're in this together, but damn
