Yeah, I think every health care worker in the land should wear a respirator mask around patients

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Literally the only right-on-red I know of in New York City is the right turn onto 21st St next to Silvercup Studios in LIC when you take the Northern Blvd exit off the upper level of the Queensborough Bridge.

Picture of the intersection of the Queensboro Bridge exit at 21st Street in Long Island City. There is a sign on the intersection saying "After stop, right turn is permitted on RED."

These dusty liberals: I am a good Democrat. That’s why I scream at cancer patients when they ask me to mask for their safety on social media.

(things said by people who have not undertaken a rational assessment of the threat environment since 2021)

I wish liberal covid deniers would actually engage with the piles of evidence on the continued danger of covid, rather than deeming everyone who has insane.

(and i think it is a demand that stems from fear more than a rational assessment of the threat environment)

How can one possibly manage that? My "ire" levels are inversely proportional to my "fucks given" levels. And I seethe with the fire of a thousand suns. Any attempt at conservation with the negative FG levels I'm working with would be pure folly!

Haven't had the pleasure, no.

If somebody is trying to sell me something and they refer to me as "yourself" I will not buy whatever the thing is, no matter how much I want or need the thing.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

Experimenting with a new concept using @queermedieval.bsky.social’s Portland Frog woodcut. Embracing goofiness as protest.

A poster in green ink on off white paper. In the center is a woodcut style illustration of a protester wearing an inflatable frog costume standing up against two ICE agents. The text above and below reads:

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward
