Violet Affleck's public comment on masks and Long COVID is all over the news. THIS is how you leverage your privilege! Imagine if other celebs did the same.

For #DisabilityPrideMonth we can get this story reposted and shared.

Imagine being homeless, disabled and nowhere to recharge your electric wheelchair. Getting chased off property, with nowhere to turn for help. 😔

imagine how much great art could have been created if we took a fraction of the money spent on getting computers to make shitty art and gave it to actual artists

Hey motherfuckers, just found out my kid had post-viral myocarditis from COVID in 2022! Discovered because of constant fatigue and dizziness when standing. They now use a cane. COVID is surging again so do the damn things! I know they suck but not as much as giving someone else a heart condition.

PS- there are covid surges in the UK, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Australia, the US, Canada.
If you can't afford masks, look for a mask bloc in your area: maskbloc.org
Cover your mouth and nose. Masking is community care.

If that was in a movie, hearing that song sung by a night shift custodian driving a floor waxing zamboni in some dark office hallway would be the foreshadowing to cracking the password that gets the protagonist into the laptop that solves the crime! 👏👏👏😂

That’s a great formula! Practically impossible for someone to guess a password that isn’t an actual word or phrase but it’s still easy for you to remember.

The kids are NOT alright. This “AI” misinfo seems deliberate now, not just some “working out the bugs” thing. Even if they’re working on it in good faith, intend to improve it, they know it’s dangerously wrong RIGHT NOW and doing nothing about it. Chaos. Imagine in a few years! 😵‍💫👇🧵

So I want to talk about this from the perspective of someone who does professional fact checking as part of my work. For some years now I have been paid to check TV and written content themed around animals to make sure it is factually accurate. Chat GPT & AI has made that job so much harder.

Thanks! Today I learned there are actual pink and even white ones. I’ve only ever noticed purple, and now I’ll be on the lookout for them and paying more attention to the purple ones to see if I notice a range in tones. We’ll compare “notes” when yours bloom 😁

People who believe nothing you post has impact- have no idea how to use a platform & they may also have an interest in discouraging you from speaking out. Online activism matters. Look at what they did to Twitter. Twitter was previously one of the most important communication tools on the planet.

If our posts didn't matter, they wouldn't have wanted to make the internet a place where you can't decide whether a post was written by a bot, a troll or someone who actually knows what they are talking about. They have intentionally gone out of their way to try to sabotage online activism.

this shit makes me incandescent w rage & it's happening all over. real affordable housing is being torn down so condos, luxury apartments & 200sqft $3k/mnth "market rent" units can be built in their place; displacing tons of already marginalized ppl under the guise of fixing "the housing crisis"

Friends and coworkers laughed at me for years for writing my passwords down in a book, encrypted in a code only me and my best friend from grade school know. Who’s laughing now, I chuckled quietly, when my coworkers 1Password accounts were all breached. #JustAnotherDayAsCassandra

This cute pic was a fluke… I had flopped down in the shade to cool off, and taken off my hat and glasses, when I saw something move in the corner of my eye. I shot blind, not even sure these critters were in the frame! Dark-eyed Junco feeding juvenile. Kitty Islet, Victoria BC (July 4, 2024) 🪶

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

Worse than ever east of Yonge & “better” than ever west of it. Have you seen all the shiny new office buildings, expensive concourses & million $ condos near King&Spadina? The contrast is stark&disgusting. When pawnshop row is developed, the “worse” will vanish still unhoused. Chow is such a letdown

Ya that is definitely not what you want to hear over and over when you’ve decided the opposite. Genetic?! I should ask my mom if hers were as bad as mine, I don’t think we ever talked about it! A very different era. I got my birds and bees talk at school 😑

Ditto!! My cramps used to incapacitate me, my teachers wouldn’t believe me when I couldn’t even come to school for a day or 2. The pill was a game changer. I’m on cronedom’s doorstep and can’t wait til it I’m finally invited in. Now THAT’S something worth celebrating by frolicking in a meadow! 😂

Haha! Yes!! The old school pads were horrible! So bulky and uncomfortable, and I was both athletic and a heavy flow gal in school and they did not do the job well enough at times. 😳😅 Luckily I missed the safety pin era, mom told me about those! The cup seems like a good choice, never tried it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Isn’t that so sad, that we’re pressured for this? Friends of mine were very vocal about how they thought pads were gross and so were saying indirectly that I was, no matter my legit reason, TSS, and my suspicion that they are toxic. I’ve become used to being ignored and proven right with enough time

Wow, incredible! Pretty sure you mentioned it was also hand dyed in your post but now that you remind me, I’m blown away all over again.
