aerialist. I make tiny furniture and wear a mask in public. they/them
This is an excellent reminder that it’s never too late to start masking again. It’s community care. It’s self care. It’s a great way to show solidarity with disabled and marginalized groups. If you’re unsure what mask to get or want to learn more about respirators, my mask guide is below:
We’re Witnessing the Fall of Public Health… and Your Best Tool is a Mask
Measles in Texas, bird flu in Louisiana, tuberculosis in Kansas and Covid everywhere. Public health has been dying a slow death for years, we can’t count on it anymore. What can we count on? A mask!

Turning wonder and amazement into cynical skepticism on an international scale is destructive in ways we can't comprehend
having to now stop and wonder if a cute animal pic is real or ai is just a new low on a long list of lows
Still patiently waiting to be "left behind" by AI rather than it chasing me across every damn space like a slasher in a low budget flick.
If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.
No we don’t have any presents. Or what was it you said? “Gifts”? No we don’t have those, why would you think that. Why are you being weird
Really deeply wondering about people going through life believing that art isn’t political
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STUDIO 60! 20 Years and you're still the worst show that's ever been on television that wasn't a prank or a tax dodge.
Trying to conceive of a piece of entertainment I would less like to view. "Birth of a Nation" starring Tilly Norwood?

I wrote this in 2023 when attacks on critical race theory and DEI were at a critical mass and conservatives began moving on to transgender people, using early childhood education and weaponizing white childhood. What we are seeing from Democratic candidates is exactly what I knew would follow.
RIP peter max, whose art intrigued me as a kid and inspired me as a teen. day glo posters and black lights forever
I would like media to care more about the reality that tech tycoons want to kill people than what they’re imagining about AI wanting to kill people. We have multi-millionaires (with support from billionaires!) calling for ethnic cleansing, a thing that has happened in living memory. Not theoretical!
this is an extension of the school of thought that the only valid type of debate is dispassionate, impersonal and completely objective, and expressing any human emotion means you are irrational and should be excluded from the conversation
Money is for two things. Reducing entropy and having experiences. If you are a millionaire or a billionaire you fucked up so bad. You have to spend that shit to help people and then go see a metal show or buy some art at a gallery show or something
Wasn’t a fan of AI but then I saw this, now I’m convinced it’s pretty great.
first of all: this is a totally normal and unconcerning thing to do with your truck
I keep seeing videos of a guy who catches crabs and lobsters, cracks all the barnacles off them, puts a shrimp in their claws and throws them back. can you imagine. abducted by aliens but they just give you a spa day and hand you two hot dogs and let you go

I have literally forgotten to go to the pharmacy for so long the prescription became invalid. Twice.
"We're wary of overprescribing ADHD meds because they're addictive." "Okay, but I've known addicts. You know what none of them have ever done? Forgotten to stop at the liquor store on their way home. Or woken up, spent 2 hours on their phone, eat breakfast, THEN go 'Shit I need a cig.' "
The cut did an article on hetero men not having friends and relying on their spouse for all social contact and support/suffering from rapid psychological disassembly when their wife leaves them or dies bc of this and on fb every comment from a man is “I don’t need friends, I have my family”
The owners of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory self-regulated.
Mike Johnson on OpenAI and Anthropic: "They can self-police. They can self-regulate."
Some argue web accessibility is super expensive and time-consuming. That's true if you wait till the end and have to rebuild the site. But if you consider accessibility from the beginning and your team knows what to do, then accessibility doesn't have be costly or time-consuming.
I can’t believe the Babadook tweet lady just won an Emmy lmao never tell me online isn’t real
Remember when a guy had a lucrative & low effort Forever Job on Bob’s Burgers & then he was still so dissatisfied with how poorly he felt America was working for him that he attended the insurrection?
