they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Man the implication that somewhere deep in our brain there is a “see tiny people all over the place” button and a mushroom can press it, that’s deeply unsettling.

skitty aka starry sappho aka the biggest cat lover you know@starrysappho.bsky.social · 10mo agoI'm obsessed with addressing my cat as a "baby critter creature." is she a baby? no, she's middle aged at least. is critter just another way of saying creature? yes. but all of them together make such a satisfying noise

An excellent example of why we say there’s no such thing as “mild” Covid. It’s a multi system vascular virus that can have devastating effects on your immune and metabolic systems. Wear a mask. Clean the air. Stay home when you’re sick. Every layer helps protect yourself & others.
