This is wild to me, because during my 2 months of camping and hiking around California in 2022 (and some other trips around then), I found such a depressing amount of trash. I do think it's partially because I went so many places. It's a relief to hear this is actually getting better.

Malik is still alive, still fighting. He deserves support. He deserves people to put some money into his survival. He is enduring the unimaginable. Please help him. Please show up for Black trans people 💜🏳️‍⚧️💜 tamilove21 on Cash App/Venmo/PayPal

i’ve been thinking of what could even be said about such a tragedy. someone said it best that trans people are “born so late and die so young”. we uproot our lives and transition and live more life than anyone else ever does and society punishes us for it. we deserve better

Ah, yes, cause we all know the real underprivileged kids are Teens They're Trying to Turn into Baby Machines for the IOF. "Donate your car so we can recruit teens for our eugenics project" just doesn't have the same ring to it. Who will save the kids from propaganda disguised as a free trip?

Love when people's brains are so addled by capitalism that they think opposing giving billions in profits to share holders is inherently socialist. But yeah, giving all the profits to people who do no work is indeed a great argument for socialism, and deep down, these people must know that.

Cisco just cut 4,000 jobs while reporting record revenue of $15.8 billion in the last quarter. The company gave $2.9 billion to investors in dividends and stock buybacks and spent heavily on AI as it cut off thousands of livelihoods. Today the stock surged 17% to a record-high.

When Omicron happened and I had 5 co-workers expose me at different times, I never got sick (and boy was I using those testing sites Biden hadn't gotten rid of yet), and I think it's probably because I would wear respirators. Yes, I started the pando in fabric masks. Then I learned better.

Do people who think the US is newly evil just never think about how evil it is that we have Andrew Jackson on our money? Dude has a highway named after him not terribly far from The Trail of Tears.

Um, this is like, nuclear fallout bad. I have to assume weather .com is using bad AI or something, because the app I use says the AQI is 3, as in just about as good as it gets. What is happening

Not every single country handling this terribly 🙃

By the time authorities admitted Covid was airborne, millions of people had already died. The Andes strain of Hantavirus spreads person to person. Everyone on the boat should have been quarantined. You don’t “wait & see” with a virus that has a 40% fatality rate.

Nothing has truly shocked me - shocked me down in the core of what I believe about humanity- more than the insistence, re:Covid, that no one owes you anything.

Everyone knows Hollywood is fucked, but most people don't actually know why. The studios used the strikes as cover to cancel a full 1/3rd of TV production across the board. 1/3 of TV cast & crew are out of work. Fully. There just aren't jobs for them. Many are people who made your favorite shows.

The weird thing about Running Point is that Ness seems like a part Ike Barinholtz wrote for himself but then gave to someone else.

The news tells me that the woman they gaslit about having Hantavirus is now on life support.

Let's look at some highlights from this article. Not satisfied with simple plagiarism, AltNPS also regularly spreads fake news, and will even invent their own if they think it'll drive engagement🧵:

The entire “never satisfied” thing is only rolled out for communities that people insist shouldn’t be participating in public life in the first place.

There's absolutely no reason healthcare workers shouldn't be wearing respirators every time they are in contact with patients. Too many things spread asymptomatically/pre-symptomatically. I wish society would learn things.

It's truly bloody horrific to think about what it takes to rape a person to death.

I'm Jewish and I was in Gaza as a humanitarian doctor; what Israel was doing before was a slow genocide, now it's total. Israelis are excellent at torturing; they do it around the clock and have killed doctors by raping them to death Jewish humanitarian doctors denounce the Zionist genocide in Gaza

I got so depressed that I forgot I made tea two hours ago. Fuck me

The absolute fucking irony of the Bezos paper publishing this, but then Prime also gave us Upload. They should be more scared of us exposing capitalism for the hellscape it is.

"One study found that increasing the number of people who receive SNAP benefits by 5 percent could have prevented nearly 32,000 suicides over 15 years. And a $1 increase in minimum wage has been linked to roughly 8,000 fewer suicide deaths over a decade."

I do think a lot of the pointed publicity on Microsoft's dealings in Israel came from BDS specifically, so this is legitimately a huge victory for the movement

The weight of being a person not worthy of paying a living wage so heavy. Why do so many employers think their employees shouldn't be housed when they also would never knowingly hire a homeless person? It's not reasonable to force adults to have to live with others.

Officials Mildly Positive About Progress Of Andes Hantavirus Spread

Over 20 attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians over the weekend. They’re going on pogroms multiple times a day now. www.haaretz.com/west-bank/20...

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

My controversial opinion is that it's neglectful to put children in Teslas since this problem has been well-known for awhile.

What do you call camps where people keep disappearing and dying

Masking should be the most normal thing in the theatre community where health is so vital to their livelihood, but they decided that masks are even too weird for weird theatre kids. Not to mention how much of it revolves around hero-worship, but it's fine to get your heros sick. What a world.

The mothers in Palestine, the mothers in Sudan, the mothers in the Congo, the mothers in Ukraine, and the mothers in ICE custody all deserve a happy Mother’s Day

Right after Trump was elected, I went through a terrible Twitter thread of Gen Xers patting themselves on the back for electing him and talking about how much they love Reagan and hose water (and collectively taking credit for Breakfast Club????), so this was a nice thread to read.

I don't only want fully funded libraries but I want fully funded parks, public education, FREE HEALTHCARE, actual affordable housing etc... these are ALL CONNECTED.

Is this punishment for my recent posts about how I don't know how I can continue to mask all the time when no one will hire me

This Mother's Day, please remember that 1 in 5 Black women will be evicted during her lifetime and 1 in 5 children born to a Black mom will be evicted during their childhood. Mass eviction is as destructive and evil as mass incarceration. We just don't talk about it.

Eternity was a pretty good movie but why did they spend the whole thing acting like Callum Turner was Adonis and Miles Teller is an uggo?

I know critical thinking is incompatible with liberalism, but it gets very tiring that liberals think they can have grownup conversations without that skill.

I forgot that May is stroke month, meaning my dad had his stroke during stroke month. Also on my birthday

Oh look, viruses can be extremely hard on young and healthy bodies, even with radical rest.

I genuinely don’t know how else to take the position that if you need additional protection to survive - ie, masking - you should be forced out of society. People claiming to be leftists have literally said “stay home forever” to me. My disgust at my own side over this is fathoms deep.

We literally had Fauci tell us that Biden's Ignore COVID plan would cause the vulnerable to fall by the wayside. That was eugenics, too. The Republicans are doing it louder and harder, but the Dems are doing it, too, and normalizing it for the average person. Dems got little to no pushback.

If you don't at least mask in situations like medical settings and airports, you're an anti-masker. You didn't learn anything from the pandemic. You don't get to go around asking if people learned nothing from the pandemic.

I think I must really miss listening to music because I started crying about 10 seconds into a Weepies song playing on Scrubs.

Something I think about almost every day is how allergic are a chronic condition that cause you to have worse COVID outcomes.

So many people panicking about hantavirus but stopped wearing masks to protect against much more transmissible covid. Ok.

Someone in my life has complained of early signs of dementia in their 30s. It's almost like there's a brain-damaging virus that people are letting themselves get over and over.

I've needed to fill up my gas tank for like 3 months...it's going to cost about $90 atp. I drive a Jetta. Can't even afford to go out for a hike while it's green.
