Do you have the capacity to store and distribute hundreds or thousands of free tests?

Email [email protected] and we'll help you order them.

Our taxes have already paid for them. Let the people have their rightful supplies.

PLEASE SHARE WIDELY!

It's functionally an open secret now, but my PC is basically this meme:
A meme of a cartoon girl on a yellow background saying no to "I can fix him / I can fix her" and a cartoon girl on a flaming background with the anarchist symbol and the Soviet flag in the background saying yes to "I can radicalize them".

We do holiday names over here, right? I waited all year for this:
A calendar reminder to "change Twitter to 'seasonally depressed'"

Does this site let you share things that you can buy? $2 (our profit share) from every sale goes to UNRWA for humanity support in Palestine.

Earrings made from LEGO bricks in the colors of the Palestinian flag. The earrings are photographed on a black and white keffiyeh scarf.

Went to Canada for a few days. Came back to 93 unread work emails.

Anyway, please enjoy some photos of the Bog Boy and other sights in Montréal:
Hozier on stage in a concert venue. Two trans cuties in the sanctuary of a purple and blue gothic basilica. Both wear 3M Aura respirators. One wears a Trans Rights Are Human Rights t-shirt. A person flexing and grinning in the middle of a rope climbing web in a playground. A poster glued to a pole. Translated from French into English, it reads: "Parasitic housing is like their owners. Luxury condos are ruining our neighborhoods. Facing gentrification, let's abolish property!"

Just soft launched a new student-focused training on working with neurodivergent students!

If you work with peer tutors, orientation leaders, or other student workers who interface with other students, I'd be happy to talk about neurodivergent strengths and challenges and managing meltdowns.

A student today asked for a copy of this flyer I made (based on a Tumblr thread), so I thought I'd share it with you all too.
Anti capitalist affirmations. I am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful. There is no such thing as a “real job.” All forms of work that do not create harm are real and valid. There is nothing that I need to accomplish to be worthy. I am already worthy. Doing nothing is good for my soul. I am not defined by what I produce. My worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of my professional or academic achievements. I do not need to monetize my hobbies. It is enough to spend time doing something I love. I am allowed to be still, rest, and eat; in fact, I must do these things to survive. My bodymind doesn’t need to look like or function to someone else’s standards. I will not let society decide what success looks like. I can define what a successful life looks like for me.
