Suddenly scrambling for a lifeline days after our 6th wedding anniversary because spouse was fired today. If anyone knows good jobs in the IT industry particularly in programming/app development either remote or in #KansasCity, leads would be most appreciated! #helpwanted #jobhunt #jobsearch

If you’re traveling this holiday season, please wear a mask.

Flu and Covid are both surging. No one wants to be sick for the holidays.

A well fitted respirator like an N95 protects you and those around you.

Give yourself (and others!) the gift of good health this year!

I’m really glad I’m still masking because this happens to me all the time at work and no one can see my disapproving frown
i simply can’t control my facial expressions when people so casually announce “I asked/used ChatGPT for this” anymore, especially in a professional setting

it’s getting me in so much trouble and i love watching them try to justify being a fucking moron

Long-term data indicate that individuals vaccinated before SARS-CoV-2 infection develop stronger antibody responses to omicron than those infected first, influencing hybrid immunity effectiveness.
Does being infected or vaccinated first influence COVID-19 immunity?
A new study analyzing the immune response to COVID-19 in a Catalan cohort of health workers sheds light on an important question: does it matter whether a person was first infected or first vaccinated?

Wastewater data in Germany is ridiculous right now. My immunity is compromised and so I'm masking everywhere. It's one mitigation that is easy to do. I'm also using a nasal spray.

Antibodies Against SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Protein Possess Autoimmune Properties

Another, MDPI, paper that does not show what it suggests in its title and with conclusions that are not substantiated by the data shown. Yet, it is already abused.

The last great bastion of credible journalism has fallen. Who could have predicted that @teenvogue.com would arise as a leading voice of critique, education, and resistance? And as quickly as it came, it’s gone.
thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

I am shooting my shot.

I love writing op-eds.

@teenvogue.com was my main outlet, but if there are any others (especially independently ran) that are looking for a contributing writer on race, gender, and the economy, I'd love to work with you.

Signed,

Today, we mourn the loss of Alice Wong, a trailblazer in every sense of the word. As the daughter of Hong Kong immigrants, a disability activist, and a fierce voice against colonialism, imperialism, and genocide, Alice gave voice to the interconnectedness of our collective liberation.

希望你一路走好。🤍🕯️

I refuse to believe politicians are forgetting how rancid MTG is. Sure we can have a big tent but we do not need to welcome someone like her. Please everyone get a fucking hold of yourselves.

A holiday masterpiece by a giant who was taken too soon.
Reminder to add TOKYO GODFATHERS to your Christmas movie watchlist this season! Grateful to have given (English, dubbed) voice to the trans anime icon, our beloved Hana, in this Satoshi Kon holiday classic from @gkids.com! Watch it for free on Tubi or rent it on AppleTV!

The subbed version at least is also available on Hoopla, which your local library might have as a service! They also might have the DVD or the Blu-Ray, and even if they don't you might be able to borrow it from another library through the Inter-Library Loan service!

The movie is pretty trans friendly, the antagonism she faces never feels like it's the film saying she needs to change or that her gender is something she should feel shame for. But our protagonists are homeless and you can imagine what a non-passing homeless trans woman would experience.

if anything, Kon's empathy for Hana feels extremely forward-thinking for a 2003 film in an anime medium. the more realistic depictions of adversity she and her friends face only enforces that, in my opinion

Also *I* was reminded to add a content warning for all the transphobia in the film. The original is from 2003 and Hana endures a lot of trans-antagonism, in spite of which she remains the heroine of the story.
