When Macklemore is dropped at the behest of the billionaire stadium owner Robert Kraft, it's an exercise of the freedom of businesses to 'demonstrate their values' by deciding whom to platform. But when Ed Sheeran's fans decide not to buy tickets to his performances, or even demand refunds, it's bullying, mob behaviour. Since most people are not billionaires and do not own stadiums, they can exercise meaningful power only collectively. The collective exercise of power must therefore be demonised.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ybkylffhwhn2an2ic2lxh76k/bafkreifpdv74ajtas7sepr67o7cd5g2er47mv23tpoll2ddie7ri44wjge)
What a surprise, the organizers of the covid cautious dyke bar hated the article, rejected its framing, and is defending their covid cautious patrons and performers. Anyone who joined in on the viral harassment campaign started by Jesse Singal wanna say oops or…? recorder.com/2026/09/24/g...
Lee Cicuta@butchanarchy.bsky.social · 3d agoSomething tells me that the organizers of this covid cautious lesbian space—who, per the article, made great efforts to maintain it as a covid cautious lesbian space—wouldn’t appreciate this difficult moment being used to trash on covid cautious queer people in general.

When climate collapse and a pandemic response are managed by capitalism, not science. #COVID #capitalism #pandemic #publichealth #climatecollapse
The Sick Times@thesicktimes.org · last wk.This week at The Sick Times, Selina Nwulu argues that corporate interests have had more say in our behaviors toward both COVID-19 and the climate crisis than any evidence-based public health response. thesicktimes.org/2026/09/15/d...
What this paper is saying basically: is the flu is seasonal, covid is not.
Dick Zoutman@dickzoutman.bsky.social · last wk.VERY important paper! This study detected SARS-CoV-2 in the air of common areas of 4 big US airports. SARS-CoV-2 detected in 98% of samples through the year. Influenza A was found during flu season. That’s why you want to wear an N95 respirator in an airport! And all indoor public spaces all year!

I'm old enough to remember back between waves 5 and 6 -- September 2022 -- when President Joe Biden said: "The pandemic is over... If you notice, no one's wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape." www.npr.org/2022/09/19/1...
Joe Biden says the COVID-19 pandemic is over. This is what the data tells us
While cases have decreased dramatically, there are still thousands of cases being reported across the world, and hundreds of people are still dying from it every day in the United States.

Denis - The COVID Info Guy@thecovidinfoguy.bsky.social · 2w agoThe U.S. has entered its 13th COVID wave, with an estimated 1 in 86 Americans currently infectious.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it may ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

"All of us have to learn how to invent our lives, make them up, imagine them. We need to be taught these skills; we need guides to show us how. Without them, our lives get made up for us by other people." Thinking about these words from Le Guin today in honor of those who imagined new ways for us. ♥️
![Home, imagined, comes to be. It is real, realer than any other place, but you can’t get to it unless your people show you how to imagine it—whoever your people are. They may not be your relatives. They may never have spoken your language. They may have been dead for a thousand years. They may be nothing but words printed on paper, ghosts of voices, shadows of minds.
But they can guide you home. They are your human community.
All of us have to learn how to invent our lives, make them up, imagine them. We need to be taught these skills; we need guides to show us how. Without them, our lives get made up for us by other people.
Human beings have always joined in groups to imagine how best to live and help one another carry out the plan. The essential function of human community is to arrive at some agreement on what we need, what life ought to be, what we want our children to learn, and then to collaborate in learning and teaching so that we and they can go on the way we think is the right way [....]
In our time of huge populations exposed continuously to reproduced voices, images, and words used for commercial and political profit, there are too many people who want to and can invent us, own us, shape and control us through seductive and powerful media. It’s a lot to ask of a child to find a way through all that alone. Nobody can do anything very much, really, alone.
What a child needs, what we all need, is to find some other people who have imagined life along lines that make sense to us and allow some freedom, and listen to them. Not hear passively, but listen.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kcj35i7f3dmexeai3lluktdl/bafkreigrsrmsuyrlrw53egjn6mkqxohlsvaw4zhvqtmxrcjy4cvievskly)
When the criminal justice system callously and repeatedly shows a woman that there's absolutely no help coming - and then dehumanizes her and disproportionately punishes her for finally defending herself and her children - that's patriarchal, state-sponsored violence.
Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social · last mo.This week, a woman named Keshia Golden took a plea deal after she killed her abuser in self-defense while 8 months pregnant. Her case is one of many examples of the disproportionate criminalization of Black women who fight back to survive abuse. spitfirenews.com/p/keshia-gol...

Without History@withouthistoryband.bsky.social · 2mo agoOh good! People invoking the Satanic Panic to explain the anti trans movement. You know, that thing that was used to cover up child abuse and then, when it was repudiated as a witchhunt, was primarily used to free convicted child abusers by discrediting the testimony of children.

It's not "too woke" to say that straight men who rape women should be reviled for being rapists, not tarred as secretly queer. To imply they're gay, or that they wear dresses, to distance them from manhood, is to insist that their violence is "deviant" rather than utterly banal and normative.
