Despite what the current and previous administrations may have led you to believe, ignoring disease does not actually make it go away and it certainly does not make anyone anywhere "healthy again."

The good news is, you can stop enabling this eugenicist crap at any point.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

Annual #NationalComingOutDay reminder that if, when, and how you come out should be up to you and only you; how you label yourself should be up to you and only you; and what you consider yourself today may change someday, and that's perfectly valid. Only you get to define you. 💛

Btw it's not up to you to decide for others whether any alcohol has cooked off enough (in this case, the cake would likely be soaked in rum anyway bc that's how you make a damn rum cake). Even if it cooked off, the taste/smell can still be there & can be enough of a trigger. Just don't be a dick.

Hey, don't serve consumables that have substances in them without telling the people doing the consuming. Not only is it a dick move regardless of others' sobriety status, you can really hurt someone in myriad ways by doing this.

I’ve seen this posted a few different places - as somebody over a decade sober this would piss me off and I would cease contact with that sister.

It’s not funny - nor a joke - this is abuse.

Tik tok post where a young man was served rum cake at a five year olds ?!?! Birthday party and not told. He was also five years sober and didn’t know it was rum cake until he ate it.
Vile shit

There are contrast checkers available online for free!

Accessibility Awareness @a11yawareness.bsky.social · 1d

Color contrast affects readability on the web and in print. It is especially important for users who are low vision or for users who are colorblind. Good color contrast means all users can see your content no matter the device they’re using or the lighting of their surroundings.

‼️‼️‼️

When Klein scolds that "we have to live here with each other" he is making a statement about who it is he is getting ready to live with and who he is getting ready to live without, and most gallingly he is ignoring the fact that when it comes to supremacists all of us have been living with them already all along. Nobody is suggesting mass deportation of white supremacists, or the dissolution of straight marriages, or stripping away health care for conservatives. The troops and the cops weren't ever sent down primarily white streets, masked kidnappers aren't terrorizing white churches or corporate courtrooms. These supremacist hatemongers are being criticized, yes, and opposed, yes, and yes the culture of violence they have created sometimes ricochets back on them, but we are living in the country they demanded on having. We are all now experiencing the Republican proposition for humanity. Many of us are demanding they stop pursuing this proposition, and Republicans and other supremacist hatemongers insist this demand represents violence against them. Klein, by drawing the lines where he draws them, is agreeing with Republicans about this.

Yeah, ol' Gav is certainly well aware that politicians in the US are disappearing people without accountability.

the epstein files aren’t dropping & this isn’t a distraction from them.

this is a fascist setting up the field to eliminate every point of friction that might impede an attempt to seize absolute power.

quippy posts about epstein are delaying your realization of, & motivation to fight, that fact.

Given the choice between not asking for help and hurting myself and asking for help and being hurt by someone else, I may as well have some measure of control over it and just fucking hurt myself
