Apparently there are at least three probable cases of a rare bacterial illness known as tularemia, or "rabbit fever,” in New York; and while I suppose it’s always worthwhile to learn something new, at this point I’m getting tired of learning about new illnesses.

So I posted about the Kickstarter that Harvey Pekar's daughter huge is running to fund sorting his huge archive of papers. She put some stuff on ebay to help raise funds, too. I couldn't pass on this. Harvey's copy of Rolling Stone from June 1970, with coverage of the Kent State Massacre!

We can't be seen as "A pitiful helpless giant" was Nixon's response to calls to end the Vietnam War now in face of the massive antiwar protests of 1970.

By June 1970 the entire higher education system had been brought to a complete halt, as over 400 universities & colleges saw student walkouts to protest the Kent State and Jackson State murders. The nation was in complete freakout with millions on the march and howls from rightwingers to "kill more of them!"The mailing label with Harvey Pekar's name and address.

10 years ago, when cis people & orgs backed trans rights in response to the NC bathroom bill the result was the state reversing course & the governor losing his bid for reelection. We arrived at this moment because ostensible cis allies like this pusillanimously abandoned us after the 2020 election.

What *actually* happens if the Fever, Storm, W, PA or anyone else involved responds strongly? The organizers get what they want and peddle more "intolerant left" BS. Another week of on-court stories being overshadowed. Nobodys mind is changed. Materially, no trans person is better off.

Honestly trans rights is a number 1 issue for me because not only does it indicate you don’t give a shit about trans people, it demonstrates how important human rights are to you in general, how in thrall you are to right wing press, how much bullshit you’ll swallow, etc etc

Based on current data the CDC has received reports of over 19,200 cyclospora cases (with most not yet confirmed), which is just further proof that slashing funding at the CDC and FDA, while making monitoring of cyclospora optional, was an explosively shitty idea.

Europe’s soccer league, which encompasses nearly every country in the continent, has vowed a boycott of the World Cup and other FIFA events if the organization moves forward with its plan to sell a large minor stake of the global competition to the Kushner family.

Nearly All of Europe Vow to Boycott World Cup Over Plan for Kushner Family Sale

FIFA unveiled a plan to sell a major stake in the World Cup to a firm run by Joshua Kushner, Jared Kushner’s brother.
