every protest I've ever been to(and I've been to a lot) was like 95% normies, don't let the cosplayers on the internet fool you, the people out there are the ones who drive change, not the ones serialposting about how wrongly they're doing it
Here at NYC's #NoKings protest. And it's striking how ... normie everyone is. Just average folks, sick of this shit.

Happy to see our Con Crud Busters project show up in the wild!
I got a sticker for masking at Wondercon last weekend. There were a decent amount of masked attendants!

Call your R reps and yell at them. Tell them how the tariffs are screwing you and that you're holding THEM personally responsible. Tell them to use their powers to end the fake emergency and override Trump's tariffs. reps.fyi
A few GOP Senators and Reps could join Dems right now to end the fake emergency justifying Trump's tariffs. He'd veto. Let him. Ds can pressure Rs to override. They should hound Rs on this.
On the pod, @normornstein.bsky.social brilliantly lays out this path forward:

Hi, are you doomscrolling about tariffs?
Have you had something to eat? Is there an offline activity you can do tonight instead, like read a book, compile a list of essential items you need to stock up on, or call an elected official about the recession ahead?
Try not to stay up too late tonight.

After distributing in two places, then getting kicked out of WonderCon, then going mobile haunting the perimeter with enthusiasm and friendliness (and free swag), we asked around enough times and ended up with our own temporary table at the con. A Clean Air Win!

I love the con community because everyone's trying to bring something fun and delightful to the table for the culture. If we have cosplay repair doctors, how about clean air squads?

Common Mallow grows everywhere in LA County. We saw it at the Arboretum and I remarked about how tasty it was as forage, and then @caitlinh31.bsky.social realized it was the same weed obliterating her backyard

I bought a set of itty bitty fountain pen ink that came inside a Japanese magazine. The packaging to make it fit inside a booklike object is really interesting

Just a reminder that people used to put paint and formaldehyde into milk and there had to be a huge movement to get proper food regulation, and without it people will die www.eater.com/2020/1/28/21...

I've just been keeping my extra deco chiffon fabric for my Flo Mask in a bag, but this file folder idea is way better
The sticker is perfect for my mask customizing kit! I put the fabric I cut to the shape of the @flomask.bsky.social filters, extra filters, extra masks for others, and now my extra mask chains.

A very OFMD Christmas gift from David Jenkins. Amazing!
1775. An editor comes into work on Christmas eve to find a manuscript on his desk. The title: A HISTORY OF PYRATES by Charles Johnson. (We have no budget so we’ll say the editor is played by Michael Stuhlbarg).

If anyone has resources on how to help elders with early signs of dementia in the Southern California region I would definitely appreciate the tips. I don't know anyone or where to start, have been overwhelmed and depressed tbh
