One of the simplest radically rebellious things you can do — you, right now! — is wear a mask in public. Show people you think they’re worth protecting. Show people you’re willing to resist the social pressure to pretend things are normal. It’s good hygiene and good practice for other resisting.

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

I've updated this campaign, but here's the tl;dr: everything is frozen, insurance companies are not my friends, and new meds are spendy. Also, my cat is cute. gofund.me/6bd3f24a

What Donna didn't say is that because of our lost employment/insurance situation, not only can I no longer try to help her but she's been trying to help us. Having your insurance tied to employment remains a scam. Thanks everyone who has helped or who has shopped: thebrokencircle.etsy.com

Day 2 of #AScareADay and we're onto the poetry! This is one of my favourite early vampire poems. I find it quite haunting. The separation of young lovers on religious grounds, the early death, the unearthly return...only to condemn the beloved with her love... en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Wor...
