Did you know ways people have found to avoid COVID can be helpful for other and often unrelated things?

I used to need to take off my glasses to be able to see outside when it was below freezing because my glasses would ice over.

No money in the red kettles. Mutual aid instead.
(And no, I'm not taking questions about this.)

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

An advantage of living in rural Virginia: very dark skies. This is about a two minute shot from my phone and you can see Cygnus and Deneb, the Milky Way, and The Great Rift which is made of zillions of opaque dust clouds that split Cygnus down the middle.

Thousands of stars in a dark sky with the glow of the Milky Way and some trees silhouetted.

Almost an hour on hold between two other locations to find out it's not in stock, it's ready to pick up at a closed location..

Beth is still team N95 @bethwalloch.bsky.social · Sep 18

I was just about to leave to pick something up and got a text saying they're temporarily closed. Hung up at min 17 @ another location, finally on "2 callers ahead of you" at another, downgraded from "more than 3 callers"..

Wait there's an MMRV?

Beth is still team N95 @bethwalloch.bsky.social · Sep 18

Is there a Walgreens strike I don't know about, or are pharmacy staff just out sick because they don't mask while working at the sick people store?

Unfortunately it's maybe 1% even just mentioning masks, other than suggesting it in tiny font way down in the FAQ. But the last one I was at, I more masks that I do at the store or the hospital.

I've reached $150, thank you!

#PleaseShare, and help if possible? Cannot survive without housing, and will lose vital items like my wheelchair if I lose storage.

Multiply disabled heart patient in need of support!

$700 rent weekly, due 11AM Sundays
$300 monthly bills (phone, storage)

Please help if you can? I cannot survive the street AT ALL- need hygiene and privacy to eat and sleep.

Hey! I'm Falco! (He/him, xey/xem)

I'm a queer, Autistic heart patient struggling to stay housed. My disabilities mean I need careful hygiene to eat or sleep, so if I lose my room I cannot survive!

Hotel's summer rate is currently $700/week, and I owe about $250 monthly for storage and phone.

I'd be honored if you would sponsor me on Patreon for $3 - $20 per month, for sneak peeks at new art, requests, and exclusive coloring mandalas.

Or you can snag fun merch at FalcoSkyWolf.Redbubble.com! Over 200 of my designs on dozens of garments, accessories, and home and tech items. Undercover Dragons, Pride art, and a wide mix of mandalas!

But the fastest way to help is donating through PayPal or CashApp, and I also take commissions for mandalas and text art. DM if you'd like custom designs!

Please help if you can!

(Background- extremely dark purple, with some simplified coins on top and pale blue feathers on bottom.)

I'm a very pale transmasc with long brown hair, part in a braid over my right shoulder, the rest loose down my left. I'm in a black winter sleeveless vest and a black fedora with an orange flicker feather, with thin blue spectacles, a blue and purple heavy-duty respirator, a silver ankh necklace, a dog-tag style necklace with Captain America's shield, and a black chain bracelet with a metal TARDIS (resembles a British phone-booth-like police call box) and a safety pin that has rainbow and trans pride beads on it. Behind me is a fuzzy blue blanket.

Masking EVERYWHERE INDOORS that isn’t your home is an act of resistance.

No one is coming to save us. We need to save each other by masking, getting vaxxed, and advocating for clean air

1 way masking is great, but 2 way masking (when EVERYONE PRESENT is masking) is best.

Roxi Horror 💀🌸 @roxiqt.com · Sep 16

Wear a face mask when you go out in public- if for no other reason than knowing that they want you too sick, too exhausted and too burned out from dealing with back to back respiratory infections to speak up for yourself & your community. You deserve to protect your health.
