AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

My son had a milk allergy so severe that it caused pseudo-seizures. He drank "medical food" for the first year of his life. It cost us $700 per month. He would have starved without it.

I dunno man the concept of actually owning something you pay for must be like a drug if you're under 30

I know I'm not on here much at all and I hate to be asking for help, but my cat Meira is very sick, and I'm desperate. The vet bills have been huge, and we still have more treatment ahead. So I set up a GoFundMe - if anyone can help, I will be eternally grateful. gofund.me/c00e6f05a

* There is no such thing as "just a flu". Viral infections are bad for us. * Viruses are variable. Non-evolutionary, typological thinking does not work. * Viruses evolve. They don't automatically get milder. More infections means more evolution. 3/

* The immune system is not like a muscle and immunity debt is bullshit. * There are various ways that repeated COVID infections could be causing short- and/or longer-term immunity theft, making people more vulnerable to other infections. 2/

Reminders, as public health officials warn of a very bad flu season: 🧵 * Washing hands is not a strategy for a respiratory virus. N95s, ventilation, air filtration -- especially in hospitals. * We should have been cleaning indoor air with the same effort we put into cleaning drinking water. 1/

Many reporters went to Albany, Georgia, when it became one of America's first COVID hotspots. But @propublica.org's Ginger Thompson kept returning, kept reporting. What she uncovered reveals some ugly truths about American healthcare. Read her new 5-part series, Sick in a Hospital Town:

Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff

I applied to be on the local climate action plan committee. There were seven people for six seats. By just showing up, I kept a conservative conspiracy theorist from getting on. 18mo ago, I noticed she & cronies were against a new elementary school. I joined up with the pro-school voices. We won.

Friends, there are a lot of well-meaning people who don’t realise their blue doomerism is sapping morale and energy. Be vigilant but don’t make vigilance your entire online personality. Rahaeli covers it in this thread.

By “sovreignty” he means “states should be weak enough so that billionaires like me should be able to treat them as feudal vassals” bsky.app/profile/lora...

Honestly the part of this that I really hope more people recognize is the foot stuff. There's nothing wrong with having a thing for feet, ain't my thing but have fun! But when you're a director who is KNOWN for having one, has a history of abusing his power, and shoves them into MANY of his films...

'In the winter garden' - my favourite geometric garden aerial that I've ever done! I don't remember if I shared it here or not yet - it has camellia bushes in the centre and beds of winter heather and hellebore :) the geometric landscapes are always more challenging and I love that! #embroidery

Hi! You don’t want to watch someone violently die in front of you. It will never leave you. It will change you. Their death will play on a loop on the back of your eyelids until your last breath. xoxo, a paramedic

this sounds like a joke but it's really not. 'gender critical' is a tiny movement but the ppl involved are all in powerful positions and have megaphones.

great conversation starters for a first date: - what's your favorite Linear A inscription? - how did you learn Linear A? - would you like to establish a written correspondence in Linear A?

see also: talking nice about people behind their backs. sure, you could talk shit about people behind their backs, but gossiping with your friends about how cool and good your mutual pals are is genuinely so much fun. get loved, nerds! get absolutely adored!

The wise witch never takes more than her share. There are only so many bottles of tincture and syrup she can store. She learns to swerve greed, to leave an unexpected bounty for birds and sprites. Sometimes the best harvest is a memory of beauty. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

This is scary, but also because it's one step away from: "We regret to announce that the Bunny who Loves Eating Bananas is racist"

Repeating this.

i think the worst part is the murders tbh

I should get money sometime everyone I warned about was terrible

It is genuinely wild how this has blown up in QT's face. Just a wild miscalculation for one of the most powerful directors in the business to go on an asshole's podcast and punch down so gleefully against good actors that everyone likes

Dear old St Nicolas has brought me a small hand loupe as a gift, and now I’m experimenting a bit with magnification. Pretzel slime that I happened to have on hand. #slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends
