This is what it really comes down to. Masks are a reminder the pandemic isn’t over. 🔹COVID is airborne 🔹Each infection carries cumulative risk 🔹Long COVID has no cure 🔹The pandemic isn’t over 🔹Wearing a mask is still one of the best ways to protect yourself and others Stay informed. Stay safe.

“A 2023 investigation by TIME magazine revealed that OpenAI paid Sama workers in Kenya less than $2 per hour to label toxic content used to train ChatGPT’s safety filters.” Contractors are hired to watch abusive, horrific content & label it so AI “learns”. Fucking awful.

A thing that is happening in my city a lot lately, and that I hate: big fancy businesses moving into the same complex as small stores or nonprofit locations, landlords deciding that since they can get such an exorbitant amount of rent from these new places, they’re going to raise the rent… 1/2

I've got a couple few Trans Rights wolf shirts in most sizes in-stock and ready to ship. The new almost 4" stickers just arrived too, get some big stickies! aspenhearted.com/shop

Planning for spring

The fact that so many billionaire Californians are each dedicating tens of millions of dollars to fighting a proposed wealth tax — rather than using those funds to pay the tax — demonstrates just how much play money they have and evidences the extent of their delusional entitlement

it's weird to see people complain about Bad Bunny's performance being in Spanish when there have been entire operas in Italian, German and French performed in the US and the top song of the last two years, K-Pop Demon Hunters' "Golden" has lyrics in Korean

With a number of Olympic athletes donning respirators, this is your reminder that COVID is not over. It’s airborne, and a well fitted mask is a great way to protect yourself and those around you. If you can’t afford one, check out your local mask bloc. If you can afford it, consider donating!

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

Covid is a social justice issue. If you’re fighting fascism, you should care about Covid. It’s a mass disabling event. It disproportionally kills and disables marginalized people. Mitigations cost money. Paid time off is rare. Healthcare is under siege. Mask up!

This is literally Bear Whiz Beer 👀

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day — and with masked troops in our streets, law-abiding neighbors being disappeared, a president othering and dehumanizing entire communities in our country, and big mysterious prisons awaiting his scapegoats, history is speaking to all of us.

There's SO many good reasons to NEVER use Amazon, here's just the most recent one!

What is with employers starting health savings account for me, never telling me, and then me finding out like 13 years later that I have $$$?????

Here is a cat to soften your Monday experience.

When I see you “playing around with” ChatGPT “for fun” this is what I see you contributing to btw. It’s not cute, it’s not fun, it’s damaging. Just because you don’t personally see it doesn’t mean there’s no cost.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

While I was at the Maui Ocean Center, one of the employees started telling my mom and I about this specific lobster in one of the reef zone tanks. “All the fish love him,” he said. “They mob him when he’s out and seem to really love being tapped by his feet and antennae. Sometimes he rides them.”

Anyway, this is all to say that one of the weirdest things I know is that GLP-1 inhibitor drugs — the miracle anti-diabetes drugs/weight loss cocktails sold as Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, etc. — are derived from the venom of gila monsters. No, *really*. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gila_mo...

If you’re pregnant please wear a well fitted mask like an N95. Pregnancy makes you high risk for Covid complications. There’s no risk to masking and cleaning the air. More & more studies are showing that Covid during pregnancy harms a developing fetus. Mask up.

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution: If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow. If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious. By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

I would like to hear about a time someone, a stranger even, was very kind to you without any prompting, ulterior motive, or strings attached.

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

Yep. I started wearing a mask in 2020, haven’t stopped. No colds, no flu, no Covid. I haven’t gotten or given anyone an illness that can ruin lives.

This is really good and I think you should take a few days to fill your head with good things only!

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?
