There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

people even just 10 years younger than me have expressed that they genuinely didn't know homophobia was so all over the place that "gay" was used all the time as a synonym for "stupid"/"lame". celebrities, characters, etc are openly gay/bi/pan & it's not typically considered "inappropriate" anymore.

every time I watch a show that predates smartphones whose entire premise would be defeated by them (e. g. free long distance calls/foreign language translation/gps/mapping/flashlight/dictionary/notes/a million other uses) I think about how for all their flaws it really is the tech of the future lol

If I got swallowed by a whale it would recognize my superior posting abilities and keep me alive to utilize them. Unrelated but we dont talk enough about krill on this app. This app unfortunately has a real anti-eating mass quantities of krill bias, and its why this app will never be mainstream.

i know it's kind of childish to be like "it's not fair" about shit but it really just Isn't that we keep losing so many kind and wonderful people so young while the most horrific evil people doing their damndest to ruin the planet and all lives within it get to live forever

Seriously, please don't be too shy or polite to ask for ICE whistles if you need them, especially in SoCal. A bunch of us have stockpiles all ready to go in case of surges, if you have the ability to pass them out, we have the whistles!

People in California who are facing a terrible ICE surge: remember that if you need whistles, we are still sending them out for free. In fact, we just passed 1.7 million whistles sent out. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Update: Per her request, my partner & I have set her up a GFM! She's no longer able to work, currently trying to get on disability. It's a LONG process, so she needs everyone's help to be able to afford to eat & keep surviving til then! Please share & spare what you can! gofund.me/de40e9dd3

did you know that every day, more people are getting long covid? because the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic never actually ended, even if eveyone is acting like it? mask up and start stopping the spread again. we have the tools to actually end the pandemic. we just have to all pitch in and use them.

Did you know that for some people the symptoms of COVID-19 never went away? Years later many folks are still dealing with severe fatigue, brain fog, joint pain & loss of taste or smell. On MPR News I talked with a doctor & a public health leader about Long COVID. . www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...
