Attn: Nerdfighters! It is the time of year where I encourage you to start thinking about P4A!
Three things you can do right now:
1. Set a budget.
2. Request days off from work if desired (stream is Feb 13-15!)
3. START PLANNING YOUR P4A VIDEO (submissions open January 24th!)

That’s how you do it 👏
"NYS Dept of Health & NYC Health Dept reject all recent and unilateral changes to the CDC immunization schedule."
This letter just went all to all medical providers in NYC. It sends an unambiguous message: Do not change your prior immunization practices.

Do NOT argue with the cop about their probable cause. Let your lawyer do that later, it's what we're there for.
- DO say "I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT." And then SHUT UP.

- If you're in a stop and ID state, identify yourself as required.
- Ask if you're being detained or if you're free to leave. If you're free to leave, LEAVE.

Everyone deserves access to safety. to housing. to food. We are all worthy of care, compassion, and support.
Let's make that reality. That's the world we need to build.

What if we had enough peace and time and energy to do the things we wanted to do?
What if we all had free healthcare? What if kids were just safe at school? What if tuberculosis got eliminated? What if there was public transit and public safety? What if there was support for everyone?

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

#P4A2026
Reasons why you, yes you, should make a P4A video this year. 🧵
1. We cannot vote for a video that does not get made.
2. Your video can help make bad things less bad.
3. Your video can help make good things happen.
4. Even if your charity does not win, ripple effects can help your charity.

2025 was unrelenting and awful and, thankfully, is over today. To mark the end of my contractual work with this year, I requested an exit interview with HR. Here it is in full. dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

There are loads of product safety concerns out there, but I'll highlight a few just in case: water beads (obstruction/ingestion risk), objects with button batteries (ingestion risk), trampolines (injury risk), and small magnets (ingestion/obstruction risk).

I think you have limited opportunities to tell people how you feel about them and if you miss them, you don't get them back. And maybe that's cringey! But I'd rather be cringey telling people I like them than never saying it!

Bluesky is a place where trolls come to be blocked and isolated and ignored — which they hate.
