Given what is learned about long COVID, why are we not taking steps to improve air filtration? Why is the CDC guidance discouraging isolation periods despite scientific evidence? What are we doing to protect the immunocompromised or other vulnerable populations? Or are they not worth the cost?

Honestly it's one of the only "truths" you can learn from history. So much of History is complex, but you can see this simple repeating pattern: - We only get through this together - Small things add up - Find people already doing the work - If nobody is, start. Anywhere.

We have to deal with the shittiest Kennedy

Stop. Collect yourself. Take a deep breath. Exhale. Unclench your jaw. Stretch your fingers. Relax. Relate. Release. If just getting up is all you can do and thats okay too. But try to find something resembling your own peace. I hope you have a decent day.

When talking about better alternatives to Harry Potter (b/c people need to be deprogrammed), I'm surprised that the Tiffany Aching books by Terry Pratchett rarely get a mention. You have a well-developed MC with a personality, cool takes on magic, and Nac Mac Feegles. Is it b/c the MC is a girl?

I installed a camera to see what was going on with our water feature that kept being taken apart at night (I recently filled it with rocks with a central fountain so it wouldn’t be constantly muddy), figuring I’d see a raccoon. I hadn’t expected an all-night pool party! 😂 Mystery solved! ⛲️🦝🦝🦝🦝

Remember that NASA was only able to *start* because the rich were being taxed at 90+% marginal rates. Now, *you* pay a greater percent of your income as taxes than any billionaire. You're just not gonna get NASA back without billionaires paying taxes again.

There's a point where mentioning queer people whenever right-wingers are outed as sex pests cements the mental tie of queerness and deviance. My kingdom for a pivot from "not a drag queen" to discussing the rhetoric of right-wing men seeing female bodies of all ages as property, please.

i used to believe substack had significant advantages over other platforms to run a newsletter. after returning to it and seeing how it’s changed, i no longer believe that. if i wasn’t in the middle of writing a book i’d be moving my newsletter off it in short order.

Super excited for the Wandering Path podcast and their special live play of the Prosperity Fair! @wanderingpathpod.bsky.social

Managed to make it to the 10am in the Indigo and it was a fantastic panel. I've learned a lot more about planning my days trying to get to panels and events for next year. Time to dash through the artist alley to see someone I helped at the library then to the Story Quest panel! #SDCC

Itch's new content policy is: 1. We can't tell you what violates the rules. 2. If you violate the rules, we take all your money. Not just the money from that work, ALL your money from EVERYTHING you've ever made. I don't care how much of a smol bean Itch is, this is not a viable platform.

First day at Comic Con proper, and I really hope I can still be let into the 10AM at Indigo Ballroom. This line is much bigger than I thought it would be. Fingers crossed it gets recorded if I miss the cut off. #SDCC

Next painting is sketched

Headed to the Central Library for day two of #SDCC to listen to the Comic Con Educators and Librarian panels.

Just a reminder that disabled people were some of the first to be sent to the concentration and labor camps in Nazi Germany. Immigrants were also in those camps. In this comparison Muslims would be like the Jehovah's Witnesses. Antisemitism is still prevalent. Project 2025 is a map to genocide.

Tonight is the fundraising auction and general industry mixer for @cbldf.bsky.social - it's $25 entry for non-members, anyone can attend, and I'd highly recommend you either go or swing past their booth this weekend. We need organisations like CBLDF today more than ever.

Reminder for anyone trying to be COVID conscious at Comic Con that there are patios with picnic tables where you can eat in the open air on the second floor room areas rather than just in the convention hallways. It's not a perfect solution, but it's at least something! #SDCC #SDCC2025

Just saw an Erica Slaughter cosplay! Couldn't get a picture, but you did such a good job on your wig!! #SDCC #SDCC2025

Public transit and picking up my badge was about as busy as I expected, so I missed the Webtoons panel. 😓 At least I still got to attend The Jewish Experience in Comics: Characters and Creators. #SDCC #SDCC2025

I wasn't able to get my #CrowTime cosplay done in time for Comic Con, so I'm in my library work shirt today instead. Already seen a few fellow library staffers, and I got compliments on the shirt since it's our 50 years of Pride shirt from last year's Pride Festival in San Diego.
