Burning the midnight oil, making some con giveaways for Anime Expo. The Con-Crud Busters project continues!

every protest I've ever been to(and I've been to a lot) was like 95% normies, don't let the cosplayers on the internet fool you, the people out there are the ones who drive change, not the ones serialposting about how wrongly they're doing it

Happy to see our Con Crud Busters project show up in the wild!

Like baby even my fucking COSPLAY is mask coordinated. Its not hard. Put ya mask on!

Don't just say it. Don't just show it. Do. It. Can't afford to do it? 🔗👇🏻 maskbloc.org Can afford to do it, plus more? Donate to your local #MaskBloc to help others who don't have access:

Call your R reps and yell at them. Tell them how the tariffs are screwing you and that you're holding THEM personally responsible. Tell them to use their powers to end the fake emergency and override Trump's tariffs. reps.fyi

Hi, are you doomscrolling about tariffs? Have you had something to eat? Is there an offline activity you can do tonight instead, like read a book, compile a list of essential items you need to stock up on, or call an elected official about the recession ahead? Try not to stay up too late tonight.

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

After distributing in two places, then getting kicked out of WonderCon, then going mobile haunting the perimeter with enthusiasm and friendliness (and free swag), we asked around enough times and ended up with our own temporary table at the con. A Clean Air Win!

I love the con community because everyone's trying to bring something fun and delightful to the table for the culture. If we have cosplay repair doctors, how about clean air squads?

Common Mallow grows everywhere in LA County. We saw it at the Arboretum and I remarked about how tasty it was as forage, and then @caitlinh31.bsky.social realized it was the same weed obliterating her backyard

I bought a set of itty bitty fountain pen ink that came inside a Japanese magazine. The packaging to make it fit inside a booklike object is really interesting

First event with the Clean Air Club Claremont at the TOYZILLA Geek Mart & the Alhambra Lunar Festival! Most of these 📸 are from @nickelpin.bsky.social and @caitlinh31.bsky.social! #volunteering

Just a reminder that people used to put paint and formaldehyde into milk and there had to be a huge movement to get proper food regulation, and without it people will die www.eater.com/2020/1/28/21...

I've just been keeping my extra deco chiffon fabric for my Flo Mask in a bag, but this file folder idea is way better

My Year of the Snake New Year / Spring Festival weekend look with @flomask.bsky.social Skeletal snakes are finally on-theme for the 12-animal zodiac year!!! Hope everyone either got or made it rain love, health, friendships, and 🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧

From @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social "The power these organizations can wield—not just to make demands but to withhold labor, rent, debt payments or otherwise take action if demands are not met—is necessary for having a valid complaint about the world and being able to change it." Organize for power.

The student organizers of Clean Air Claremont are holding an air purifier build session and organizing meeting Sunday 1/19 at the Hive in Claremont, CA! Please follow Clean.air.claremont on Instagram for more info and updates.

Spent the day today #volunteering to build air purifiers with the newly established Clean Air Club Claremont with @caitlinh31.bsky.social and @nickelpin.bsky.social! 🌬 ❤ #socalfires #eatonfire #palisadesfire

Happy Year of the Snake 2025!

A very OFMD Christmas gift from David Jenkins. Amazing!

Merry Christmas! Remember to bring a mask, to stay safe and warm for your Christmas close-ups

If anyone has resources on how to help elders with early signs of dementia in the Southern California region I would definitely appreciate the tips. I don't know anyone or where to start, have been overwhelmed and depressed tbh

Bat season is year round

I was reminded that one of the biggest lessons from EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE is how it refutes the idea of Evelyn's life is a failure by actively showing how the skills and experiences of all the other Evelyns in the multiverse taught Alpha Evelyn everything she needs to defeat Jobu Tupaki.

New mask bling level unlocked! Use 3d metal kits, attach to mask with magnet - bask in the amazingness @nickelpin.bsky.social @amandalhu.bsky.social

Hi ho it’s off to @bigbadcon.bsky.social we go!

My sister illustrated her cat’s adventures with an IKEA bag earlier today

I need you guys to forbid me to buy more googly eyes for my lab equipment. (📷: astrobionics, reddit)

Even if you plan to stay outside away from folks, it's always good to be prepared with a mask, because you might need to use a public restroom with super bad ventilation. The air is fresh and roses at Descanso Gardens are in full bloom right now (but their restroom... was not!)

My last byline of the year: for @sciam.bsky.social, I wrote about where to find and how to use COVID-19 wastewater data this holiday season. Featuring the CDC's new dashboard!

Now that's how you cover it

Whomst among us has not lost multiple husbands to a vampire

Burrowing owl!! 🪶 You be amazed at how long it can take to spot an owl standing on exposed rock, in direct sunlight, staring at you.

head's up cinephiles, this just dropped on netflix I've read about the film club that kicked off the Korean cinematic explosion, and here's a whole documentary on it hell yeah! 📽️

Nobody ever said they were human scientists.

Your regular reminder that pandemics are social problems, which cannot be solved by the products of biomedical research if the social infrastructure necessary for delivering said products is in fucking tatters.

After surviving consecutive rise / fall of codependent female group friendships through the last decade, screw having deep conversations on hopes and dreams with those who know you intimately: I am now pro low commitment low financial investment no-drama relationships. But what is it for women?

Halloween horror vibes. Junji Ito horror cat bite shirt x anime eyeball astronaut mask from Masklab.us. I'm distraught they don't sell this Technological Civilization design anymore on the USA site! Hopefully they restock soon.

Went to check out Cinespia's Goosebumps event at Hollywood Cemetery. This was my first time at one of their film events. It's really nice to get to sit outdoors and control your distance from others, but still be in community, watching and enjoying the same thing.

Enjoying the views at human scale during CicLAvia from LA's newest bridge, the 6th Street Viaduct

I'm not in the path of annularity, but I was delighted to still be able to catch the eerie, crescent shaped shadows brought on by the eclipse

listen none of us deserve to be judged for what we liked when we were 15

Dear @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com, Hope you’re recovering well. Your fans have written a guide to promoting COVID mitigations/safer venues. In unprecedented numbers, people who do live events are becoming seriously ill from COVID reinfections. Would you consider sharing? medium.com/@cdl.tuebing...

I think I can make the shipping work out with these Dentec NxMD filter covers. So I'll just try tentatively adding it to MaskSquad.BigCartel.com. I don't really have space to keep the in stock but I'll just make them to order

What an elaborately fucked up week it’s been in the world. I can feel the dread of what’s next physically on my chest

anyone else feeling the Effects lately. due to all the Things
