In case anyone needs a reminder on the things to do to prevent COVID: -wear a mask in public, even outdoors (preferably a KN95, N95, or other respirator) -improve ventilation + air quality -stay home + rest as much as possible when sick -test for COVID, but beware false negatives -general hygiene

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.

It turns out people really, really like to vote for a campaign that promises to do specific things to make their lives better, and that this motivates people a hell of a lot more than making a j/o gesture and telling them to enjoy the camps unless they pokemon GO to the polls.

The far right in France lost, in a very large part, because people weren't just being asked to vote against them but *for* something. The New Popular Front campaigned in taxing the shit out of the extremely wealthy, for instance.

If you think "working class" is white male auto workers who live in the suburbs, and not multiracial Starbucks baristas, Amazon warehouse workers, and Wal-Mart greeters of all genders, you are perpetuating a revanchist racist myth, the reality of which died with Reagan.

I was just looking at Death in the Spires (17 in the Kindle store!) and I saw the AI summary of the reviews: "Readers praise the writing as excellent, grammatically correct, and free of weird words." If ever AI proved it was bullshit. I have never written ANYTHING free of weird words.

Everybody knows Cass got a peerage because her report fit exactly what the government wanted; had her report aligned with the medical consensus and indicated any respect for trans children it’s 100% certain she wouldn’t have received it. Quid pro quo.

Anyway, the Yale report, along with the numerous other critiques of the Cass report, illustrate how it *had to be* deeply flawed in order to align with the state’s anti-trans dogma. This wasn’t a mistake: it made a mockery of science in order to harm trans kids law.yale.edu/yls-today/ne...

Heads up - new MPs have been assigned their Parliamentary emails, so if you want to email them yelling "Trans Rights are Human Rights" , now is a good time. Let them know it's an important voting issue.

When I am basting a quilt, Ninja likes to jump on top and menace me. Her reasoning is that if I'm going to stick sharp things into it (needles), she should stick sharp things into me (teeth, generally). It turns out that the way to stop this is to photograph her! She jumped down immediately.

people always attribute the spike in autism/adhd diagnoses to more people learning about it But maybe the demands of capitalism skyrocketing over the last century made it harder for ND people to meet the definition of "functioning" & when your functioning is impaired, you get evaluated for shit
