Dems want people to put party loyalty over the truth of the abuses that happen to their own bodies. Through the scream of their primal intuition that says this what abuse smells like. Fuck. That.

My thoughts almost every single day since 2021. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. It's pervasive. The pandemic to fascism pipeline. It became clear with the Covid response (Gov and citizens), where we are now, was inevitable. We opened the doors to fascism with our response. Now, here we are.

The Right understands it is war.

Progressives are extremists. Yeah, I’m done with a party that keeps pretending this is true.

found out you can borrow a button maker from the public library

"Medicine demands physicians be invulnerable." "The system lacks mechanisms to accommodate chronically ill physicians." "If medicine cannot accommodate physicians disabled by the pandemic they fought, it will never truly serve disabled patients." #USA #Healthcare #Labour

perked me right up

If you're alive, you deserve housing, food, water, education, representation, safety, and healthcare. No other qualifications required.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

The left and Democrats didn’t realize the opportunity COVID created to pass major change. They rushed to move past the crisis/normalize it. GOP did not. That’s a big part of why was able to come back after his abysmal, self-serving handling of a pandemic. Disabled folks were warning us all along

we may think statements like this aren’t enough and don’t matter, but an extremely normie, super-Christian woman I work with is *obsessed* with Pedro Pascal and completely reworked her priors regarding trans rights solely because of his opinions on the matter

"When the last tree is cut down, the last fish eaten, and the last stream poisoned, you will realize that you cannot eat money." — Cree Proverb

You never get free, get to be separate from the spirit of the age you live in. We are all inseparable from our context. That is an individual and a collective truth. We are always being shaped by collective forces.

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

ARE YOU ENJOYING YOUR CHATGPT FRIENDS

NEW WORKSHOPS and community groups for summer! Politics, Propaganda, & Dreaming with psychologist & sangoma Gogo Khayela Saturday, June 13 9:00am Pacific 10:00am Mountain, 11:00am Central, 12:00pm Eastern A ninety minute recorded Zoom discussion

After Plessy v Ferguson it was 58 years before we got a court willing to overturn it. I don’t think Black people who want to vote and women who want to have rights to their bodies and trans people who want to EXIST should have to wait that long because it offends your sense of propriety.

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

About 6 months ago, Marty Makary, Vinay Prasad and Tracy Beth Hoeg falsely claimed that they had data showing that COVID19 vaccines killed 10 children. The public has never seen those data, and we never will, b/c they have all been booted, as they richly deserve for lying to the people of the US.

I’m surprised don’t have enough registration to run this workshop yet - But sadder for others than for me I’ve come to trust that if a group doesn’t fill there are better uses of my time ahead But I’m leaving registration open because last minute things do happen! Free & donation seats available

FUCK YOU TRANSPHOBES This is for Juniper Blessing And all the Black trans women being lynched

I’m in a budding state and will keep you posted as things bloom and I can share them out. (Honestly, I almost said “if” they bloom, but I’m feeling confident that things will bloom, do bloom, in a variety of unexpected ways, in ways I may or may not ever come know about or celebrate)

For all the pandemic deniers out there: "COVID-19 pandemic inflicted a setback of historic proportions. An estimated 22.1 million excess deaths occurred between 2020 and 2023, with nearly a decade of gains in life expectancy & healthy life expectancy wiped out by 2021" iris.who.int/server/api/c...

Every good thing this society half-assedly started due to COVID should've been not just continued but constantly improved upon; but too many of y'all have The Fear, & those programs remind you of the thing that scared you. So instead you burn down your house 'cause your basement made spooky shadows

Monday comes persistently on time every week and I'm honestly ready for it to take a few weeks off.

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

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.

Construction crews in Arizona who are building Trump’s expanded border wall have bulldozed a portion of a Native American archeological site in the Sonoran Desert estimated to be at least 1,000 years old. The site holds special significance for the Hia-Ced O’odham people.

Extremely worth noting - the Black Zine Fair was a masks-required event! And hundreds of folks came and wore masks and had a great time! This is a doable thing, y'all!

Trans folks: as best you can, tune out the headlines, spend time with one another, build friendship and community. This wave is going to break: their political projects have never been less popular. Were gonna make it through this year and on the other side all our enemies will fall. Stay alive

Hey, do you guys remember a prominent minimizer saying "Actually, tuberculosis (TB) incidence may represent the best bellwether for Covid induced post-infection immune damage"? I do. www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...

I love this idea! We need more milkmen, everywhere! 😍♥️

In the past month I have been in contact with measles, rsv, covid, influenza, and TB. All while being protected with ppe. All these pathogens can be found at your local grocery store. Do not take clean air for granted.

chronic illness doesn’t care if you’re tired of it (and trust me, it gets old very fast). protect yourself from unnecessary viral infections that cause chronic illness by wearing an #N95orBetter in shared air, getting vaccinated, practicing proper hygiene, and ventilating/purifying the air.

ps: within a few years of all this "risk is low" stuff, SARS-CoV-2 had killed more Canadians than WW2 combat and more Americans than all their wars since 1776 combined.

Ah. Another well thought out plan to help keep us safe and free of harm. Can't beat freedom.

A man who takes the job seriously and himself not at all; playful without being funny or mugging; traversing the fantasy of gender, putting it on without wearing it like a costume; in love with women-as-such rather than women-as-parts; willing to work on himself to make his life a work of art

Yes. Americans obviously aren't smart enough to comprehend and can't possibly understand what they are seeing with their own eyes.

If you’ve read any of the substantive and growing body of research on what C-19 can do to your brain and it has rendered you afraid of the virus, you’re smart.

As a healthcare worker myself, I cannot imagine a world in which I didn’t simply don a mask if my patient asked me to during their interaction if I didn’t already have one on. What a weird hill to die on. “Anxiety” or not.

Remember that old children’s song about Miss Lucy’s sick baby and the Lady with the Alligator Purse? “Mumps” said the doctor. “Measles” said the nurse. “Nothing” said the lady with the alligator purse. We are at the point where The Lady with the Alligator Purse is running HHS.

Since there is some confusion as to whether "Biden quickly got the pandemic under control" or that "vaccines ended the pandemic", here is a timeline of what happened in the USA. 1/

Mississippi has thee largest Black population by percentage in the whole country. But they have exactly ONE Black member of Congress today. After the Supreme Court ruling came down, one of those members had this to say

That's how COVID spreads, too. Except COVID is invisible and odorless.

Reforming the Supreme Court has to be championed by the next Democratic leader. If they're unwilling to say it & do it, then they aren't made for this moment. The 6 corrupt judges won't stop until they undo the progress made in the past 75 years on their way to creating their Christian Kingdom.

Gotta indict Matt Gaetz now. Sorry, them is the rules.

Y’all are killing me out here with these intense coughs in public and no mask on
