I genuinely wonder when people are gonna start voting with their wallets and stop rewarding companies for using AI, Arc Raiders using it for genAI voices is frankly disgusting and it blows my mind that some people will defend it, and now Arc Raiders is sitting at 3rd top selling on Steam

My sister sent me a picture
of a good sign she saw
at the march she attended,
and as I looked
back and forth
from the placard
to the masked face
of the person carrying it,
I agreed
that the sign was good
though the even better sign
was that the person carrying it
wore a mask.

Do not worry
if you do not get
the album or film
or show or book
people are discussing,
remember:
it’s find to say
“this is not for me”
and move on,
worry less about
how you don’t get
this or that
new cultural work,
worry instead
about how you keep getting
the new Covid variants.

I am really struggling with fatigue today.

Like, keep falling asleep while sitting up kind of fatigue.

It’s so crushing. Just sucks a whole day away.

I’m so damn tired.

The PS2 truly is the best console ever because it is constantly becoming more powerful. Each time we say something "looks like a PS2 game" we're talking about a game of a higher fidelity than the last. What the PS2 is capable of in 2025 is so far beyond what it was capable of in 2003. That's amazing

Scientists have been studying remote work for 4 years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive”

Flexible work boosts well-being and focus—people sleep more, commute less, eat better, and spend more time with family while maintaining results.

Article headline reads: “Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and found: ‘Working from home makes us thrive.’” Below, a man sits on a couch using a laptop, symbolizing remote work and flexibility.

But remember — it was “mild for children” 🙃

Just think about it.

Seriously.

They told you that covid infection would not harm children, and now long covid is the *most common chronic illness in children*.

If you still mask & talk about covid I just want to say thank you. It makes me feel less alone as a disabled person. I know it’s mostly disabled people advocating for themselves but most people either abandoned us lot ago or never stood by us. We have to stand together as we always have. 🤎

Working on the campaign on the flight home, thinking about all the conversations I had with Londoners in this trip. People don’t understand what #LongCovid is - that’s what I learned from meeting people and sharing what I know with them. The root cause of Long Covid is Covid.

Not for nothing but also love it when the “you should just not go out in public” people then yell at you for spending your time advocating online. Okay. Where should I go then? Not out. Not online. Dead? Would dead be okay?

When a penalty for breaking a law (like the ACA in the USA) is only ever enforced if and when a victim is willing and able to undergo a legal battle—which is not the case for most disabled people—it's all too easy to deny, deny, deny without consequence.

“They can’t discriminate against you for being disabled!”

In theory this is true. There are protections in place to prevent discrimination

In practice they don’t work. Especially with rising fascism and eugenicist sentiment

We are denied accommodations. Denied jobs. Denied housing. Denied support

"I don’t know how to convince everyone that we can’t give up. So many people consider COVID to be endemic, or accept that everyone will eventually become infected, thinking nothing more can be done... but I know a better world is possible and we will move forward together."

having breasts that are anything but firm/round makes even well-informed self-measuring end up inaccurate oTL
I've got very soft and gravity-compliant (read: sagging) breasts, so I run into similar struggles.
