Early in the pandemic, people fixated on disinfecting surfaces, assuming it prevented infection. While hygiene matters, SARS‑CoV‑2 spreads mainly through airborne particles. Much better to focus on ventilation, masks in enclosed spaces, and hand hygiene.

It’s Day 26 of the ICE occupation of the Twin Cities.

We continue to experience the surge in agents and resources throughout the Twin Cities.

This weekend and for the next week, we encourage folks to be ready to respond with whistles/honks at all times.

In addition to COVID, the flu is also surging something fierce right now, and it is hospitalizing folks with truly nasty symptoms. Another great reason to don a respirator and re-up vaccines.
😷✌🏼💉
In 2026 let’s normalize masking for public health.

If we could admit that with healthcare being gutted, vaccine access restricted and previously eradicated diseases coming back… having an extra layer like a respirator makes good sense.

Let’s also normalize not mocking people who mask!

The odds suck. I lost my accessible, breadwinning job alongside thousands of qualified, passionate people who deserved a lot better than to be DOGE'd into an abysmal market. Nine months later, we don't have enough to cover bills. If you can help, any amount is appreciated: ko-fi.com/virtuistic (4/7)

Woke up crying; depressed and scared. Being a disabled trans person with no family, income, or savings left is hard. I hate to ask for help when my neighbors are under federal attack, but we are $2000 short on bills this month. Please help us stay housed + fed. More links in bio. #HelpSky #MutualAid

11 years ago today, 12 year old Tamir Rice was gunned down by police officers on Cleveland’s west side.

The officer shot him within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in.

Tamir’s life mattered. It still does. My thoughts are with his family today.

UPDATE: I'm still looking for work, and I'll be vulnerable and admit it — I'm starting to feel scared. I only have two weeks of unemployment insurance remaining, after which point we won't have income to cover our essential bills.

So, I'm adjusting a bit and made this:

The thing that gets stuck in my craw about this is: These *aren't* "banger memes"! Not even close. It's just hateful white supremacist​ edgelords posting Nazi shit while the rest of us tell them they are losers with no taste who should shut tf up and get a personality that isn't just racist cruelty.
