My childhood friend died at 30. My partner's sister died in her 40s. My grandmother, recovering in the hospital from a manic episode, contracted COVID and died. My friend Leslie died in his early 40s. Several of my friends are still disabled.
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
"If your favorite science communicator hasn't talked about COVlD in years, they are also a loser."
If your favorite science creator uses AI to make their content, they are a loser.
Sometimes it trips me up having a project literally called Thou Shalt Defy Death with the world on fire. The title wasn’t meant to be a feel-good title necessarily in which it’s a “you gotta survive,” but rather a reference to a declining empire that is forcing itself and it’s people to eternity.
what the fuck do you mean "everyone is using AI and nobody admits it." what the fuck do you mean. who are you talking to. you have allowed a demon to devour your soul. begone
dear god, hearing the way some people have just completely integrating AI shit into their everyday lives is so sad and embarrassing and alienating. you motherfuckers have me on the verge of believing in the existence of the human soul. awful
Friendly suggestion to my fellow accounts with decent followings: it is a GREAT time to start a weekly art show with your account to boost indie artists/crafters. Everyone is struggling due to AI and Etsy becoming a toilet. We can't magically fix everything but we can help some individuals.
Once a quirky bastion of amateur vulva jewelry and pet portraits, Etsy is now deluged with mass-produced goods and AI knockoffs. Some customers don’t seem to mind.

"Ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away...if you truly care about other people, you'll put [a mask] on." We republished illustrator Gillian Levine's comic, "Reasons to mask in 2026" in @thesicktimes.org. Check it out 👀😷 thesicktimes.org/2026/02/27/c...
Comic: Reasons to wear a mask in 2026 - The Sick Times

Saving this to show to the next person I encounter who tries telling me "the pandemic is over" and I don't need to take precautions.

I’m one of the few psychopaths that like FFXIV Frontline, and I’m still grieving the OHKO Chainsaw. 😔😔😔
I hope this destroys Argentina's reputation. This cup they: - Physically attacked players - Had a friend of Messi officiate the England match - Had several rulings that make no sense go in their favour that couldnt be anything but corrupt - Brought hard right politics in - Tried to fistfight Spain
This lettuce is literally everywhere and usually it’s in contexts where no one knows/discloses it. Taco Bell is one of the only places doing the right, proactive thing here and misleading headlines are flipping things around making seem like they’re a site of danger instead.
This framing is so disgusting and irresponsible. Yes, Taylor Farms supplies Taco Bell. THEY ALSO SUPPLY TONS OF OTHER RESTAURANTS AND GROCERY STORES. People will take "avoid Taco Bell" as the lesson which is NOT HELPFUL. www.wcvb.com/article/cycl...
The people most triggered by masks & rapid tests are exactly those who should use them the most because if they can't handle the mild inconvenience of them they certainly won't handle long Covid well
Friendship ended with Endwalker, Wuk Lamat is my new best friend. (I quit FFXIV after 6.0 because I was burned out and didn’t like the post-EW content, but going through post-EW in one fell swoop made it go by much better.)
Hey there, Explorers, episode 22 VOD is now up on our YouTube channel and free to watch on our Patreon. The party makes it to North Tower, as they begin their investigation to get inside. However, emotions are beginning to run high within the party. Join us as the adventure continues. Links below!
It turns out I didn’t just crawl out of the FF14 retirement home. I /ran/ out.
…I may be coming out of the FF14 retirement home* *If I can address the internet blips that seem to happen on my PS5 every 5-10 minutes.

I'm now in the current EoE campaign with Arsène Ankaa, 19 y/o paladin who is starting a dangerous (and somewhat concerning) path. I HIGHLY recommend checking out the whole series, but since Arsène is a farm boy who never left town his whole life, his S0 (and onwards) is a good entry point too!
The story of a young knight set on a path from fire and ash begins. We are joined by @TheSparrowling for the next season of episodes! Watch their character session here! Links below! #dnd #dndcampaign #ttrpg #dnda5e #a5e #dndactualplay #explorersofeardsihimmle #ageofexodus #roleplay #fantasy #eoe
