Aging Democrat, heart of the artist, living at the foot of the Berkshires. I don’t know if I’m cool enough to be here but I like it. Please no DMs unless we’re already buddies.

New study by Linsey Marr:

“We aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 & pulled it through masks. After 1hr we were able to recover infectious virus from fabric masks but not an N95 or surgical mask. When we pressed artificial skin against the masks we found viral RNA but no infectious virus on the skin.” #MasksWork

I've just voted. Please go and vote if you can. Polls predicting landslides mean nothing unless you go and vote for the party of your choice.

It's the only time you have influence over what goes on in the UK in the future and we're all desperate for some change!

If you’ve never seen Dorothea Lange’s photographs of the World War II internment camps and the Japanese-Americans who were imprisoned there, today is a good day to see them and to commit to making sure this never happens again.

Sorry, folks, this year "no vote" is a vote for fascism, don't be that person, voting is a necessary if not entirely sufficient act

Just at the most basic level it is really unhealthy to have to thought about Donald Trump as much as everyone in America has over the last nine or so years. Spending a decade of my life thinking about a super boring, super shitty crook and all the bad stuff he's doing or might do. It's embarrassing.

One guy lost his train of thought, pretty embarrassingly, in a debate one night. The other talks about sharks and Hannibal Lechter and thinks some airplanes are invisible, and hoards paperwork, some classified, in the bathroom in his own personal Versailles.

Here in our little blue Mass towns, we’re getting the maga trucks driving around and very happy Trump followers having their little rallies at intersections. Any time now I expect a confederate flag flying from Poet’s Seat Tower. We’re carrying on like it business as usual.

And in red states, you'll see local thugs terrorizing their election boards and school committees. Happening already.

Those hair styles! Impossible to keep looking good. I’m glad they’re out of style. May they stay away forever!
