Normalize telling people what they mean to you.
Big things or small. The person that helps you think about things differently or the pet posts that make you smile for a minute.
You won’t loose cool points for being sincere. I promise.

FYI - you have to unfollow someone before you block or you still show up as following them. I'm guessing that's the reason so many of my mutuals are still following NG. I hope.
If that is you, click to unblock, unfollow, then block again.

Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist.
Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.

whenever i see someone else wearing a mask on the train or in the grocery store there’s always an exchange of looks like we’re saying thank you without any words because so often people look at us like we’re living wrong and it feels really good to have that confirmation of yeah this is right
If just one celebrity was in that room wearing a KN95 it could change a lot for folks to see that, just one.

There's a massive food recall (including Cheerios, how I found out) yet the only news article I can find about it is on People dot com. What is going on?
Pringles, Nutella, Cheerios Among Thousands of Products Recalled for Exposure to Rodent Waste
The company is urging consumers who purchased the affected products to “destroy the products as soon as possible,” per the recall announcement

I can't do anything about so many problems.
But my neighbors are elderly. And I can clear the snow off of their sidewalk while it's still mostly powder.

The snow has turned to rain, which means lots of ice.
Fuck ice.
Fuck ice.
Could be 0-30 inches of snow but maybe ice and be prepared because it's definitely going to be a weather event even though we put that zero in there.
Love a serious but vague winter storm forecast.

Just DM’d 2 people a random word accidentally while trying to search for a specific post. Basic functioning while sleep deprived is always interesting.

I have ten days to come up with nearly $400 for insurance (see imagine in thread of the invoice), and I have to get my medications. I have an emergency issue now from not being able to get the meds so now I have to run into the doctor and that will be several hundred. It's snowballing. I need help!
I want to attend the halfway to pride gala. I need the rollator+meds funded to do it. Access to community would mean so much, including as a survivor of trafficking in constant fight-or-flight rn.

We should stop referring to what ICE agents wear as “masks,” as it feeds into stigmatization and actual legislation to ban face-masks, including respirators. ICE agents technically do not wear masks; they wear neck gaiters. However we should refer to them as what they actually are: hoods
