The people who would call me a "sheep" for continuing to wear a mask during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19, are the same ones who are all now falling over each other to worship at the altar of Saint Charlie of Kirk. 🤷‍♀️

Here’s a starter pack of Twitch streamers who still take COVID precautions. If you like interacting on Twitch and you miss having spaces that aren’t steeped in COVID denialism, go follow some of them. Please let me know of any more COVID-cautious Twitch streamers I should add. go.bsky.app/JhxpU8

The Council of the District of Columbia has passed a measure to allow COVID vaccines to be administered without a prescription.

ME: if an apple a day keeps the doctor away then 365 apples in one day should keep them away for a whole year DR: *pumping my stomach* yeah that’s a common misunderstanding

DAD: son, don’t let anyone tell you what you can or can’t do KID: okay DAD: *slams table* what did i just say

“How are you?” he asks. I think about the decaying world we inhabit but can’t escape and the garbage pieces of shit infesting it. “Okay. You?” He pauses for a beat. “I’m okay.”

New: US CDC removes #Covid dashboard & replaces it with fewer (confusing) metrics, data is harder to find & interpret; US/UK surges heat up; #LongCovid “highly prevalent” in teens globally, is hitting doctors and nurses hard; dogs are very susceptible to Covid, more: www.patreon.com/posts/covid-...

Starting "Escape from Mystwood Mansion" on Twitch with Ambie twitch.tv/JoeSondow twitch.tv/ambierona

It bamboozles my brain when unmasked people panic and move away from me with wild terrified eyes because I’m masked. Like somebody with a gun backing away from a person in a bullet-proof vest, like “Whoa hey, you expecting some violence?” I don’t know, man, you tell me. You’ve got the fucking gun.

An IG post by Sarah Michelle Gellar, posted yesterday This was included in a carousel w/ pics from the last 3 weeks She is taking a selfie in front of a mirror while wearing a white KN95 mask She is on set of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale” #MasksSaveLives #KN95sWork #KN95sSaveLives

Masks work! Respirators work even better! It’s never too late to start masking and protecting yourself and those around you. If you can’t afford a good quality mask, see if your area has a mask bloc. If you can afford them, consider donating. maskbloc.org

Hey so all the bullshit with the COVID vaccine restrictions means that if you care about yourself and others you need to mask.

If you are angry, as you should be, that restricting access to the vaccine will make covid worse and more dangerous, please start wearing a mask, which actually does a significantly better job of preventing transmission in the first place.

Starting another cooperative puzzle game with @ambierona.bsky.social on Twitch. The game is Pushmania by @kindofgames.bsky.social twitch.tv/JoeSondow twitch.tv/ambierona

Here's a drawing I did of the TNG episode "Rascals"

Make a band a food: Led Zeppole

INTERVIEWER: what makes you think you are right for the drive-thru job DONALD DUCK: *says something completely unintelligible* INTERVIEWER: congratulations you’re hired

Here’s a repost of a drawing from one of Dr Crusher’s greatest episodes which I watched with @jarrahpenguin.bsky.social and @annetheriault.bsky.social over Zoom during the lockdown

If you’re sick right now, please test for Covid. Stay home if it’s at all possible, and wear a mask. Ideally an N95. It’s not over. It was never over. No one is coming to save us so we must save each other. One of the best ways to do that is to commit to breaking chains of transmission!

welcome to the jungle we got lots of trees we got all the poison snakes and a bunch of chimpanzees

it's been a while since I was last on dating apps, still not back into those yet, but thinking about how you can often tell what went wrong in someone's previous major relationship because the profile will be like "by the way if you aren't cool with me eating soup sitting in bed don't message me!"

🔴 LIVE NOW DAY 2 OF STREAM-A-THON we are starting with some dbd survivor games before val. help me raise money to cover my debt + make me use perks i don’t know 😈 twitch.tv/andrealausell

Playing more cute block pushing puzzles in Double Trip with Ambie tonight twitch.tv/JoeSondow twitch.tv/ambierona

The CSA in Canada put forth a recommendation that respirators be used in healthcare to prevent COVID and other airborne diseases. It’s a recommendation that would save lives. Yet managers of hospital infection control programs are fighting back on it. Disgusting.

It is not necessary to be an epidemiologist or a virologist to understand that allowing Covid-19 to spread without control is a grievous error. One need only apply straightforward logic to see that allowing an airborne disease to spread freely is destined to have an extremely bad outcome. #COVID19

Ambie and I are starting "Double Trip" an abstract pretty co-op puzzle game twitch.tv/JoeSondow twitch.tv/ambierona

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help. this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls. we can beat them phone numbers and a script:

I Have Forgotten What You Did Last Summer But I Definitely Have A Negative Association With You And Last Summer

Echoing Marceline - be sure you let CGE know how you feel about their support of JKR by commenting on their youtube video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAIs... Or sending them an email: [email protected]

Because they’re being continually reinfected with COVID. It’s not rocket science. This would be more obvious if not for the overwhelming denial in society—as well as minimizing propaganda and potentially, cognitive damage from infections, which may make it more difficult to accurately assess risk.

i’m fine

Please enjoy this turtle being given the gift of speed, and immediately using it to chase a kitty

With Covid-19 currently rampant everywhere, safety should never be compromised. Preventing infection is necessary to prevent the irreparable harm caused by Covid-19. Wearing a respirator mask in all situations of potential contagion is the most effective way to prevent infection. #COVID19

What's that? Why am I still wearing a mask? I'm sorry, I didn't hear you over this NOT BEING SICK FOR YEARS.

🎲 TONIGHT! A new episode of Parlor Room launches on @dropout.tv at 7pm ET / 4pm PT! Join host Becca Scott to play Balderdash- led by Jiavani, and with guests Eugene Cordero, Anna Garcia, Grant O'Brien and Corin Wells #ParlorRoom

all my friends into game design should watch this. it's the same show runner as the genius and its incredibly entertaining and great looks at game design.

Shoutout to the delivery guy who makes his daily rounds through our neighborhood & apartment complex IN A MASK. I know it's tough nowadays. When I see someone wearing a respirator, I feel like I have a connection with them, even if we never exchange a word. I'm with you, even if you don't know it.

We're not in a "post-pandemic" era (for which there's no scientific justification). Instead, we're in an "ignoring an ongoing pandemic that continues to disable thousands with Long C*v*d, and causes organ damage, heart disease, stroke, cognitive decline, and more" era. More pieces like this, pls.

Behold: the two hidden fours in FANTASTIC FOUR #1! There's TWO of 'em! (Locations in the alts) Are there more? WHO CAN SAY?? You'll have to read the issue to find out!

Here's a little sneak peek at the first four pages of FANTASTIC FOUR #1, out tomorrow at comic shoppes! It's the perfect jumping-on point for new readers, so if you've ever thought "huh I wonder what those Fantastic Four are all about," DO I HAVE A COMIC FOR YOU! (It's this one, FF #1)

happy birthday to bill watterson who gave me the gift of encapsulating my entire ethical approach in one comic panel.

Star Wars actor Kenneth Colley broke his arm, went to the hospital, caught COVID and died. Why? Because we don’t have mandatory masking or clean air in healthcare. Infection control has left the building. I read this news while sitting in the hospital as the lone masker 🧵
