@suchnerve I know this is far from a peer-reviewed scientific study, but I remember Mythbusters doing practical tests for this a couple of times and this was their conclusion
@suchnerve I’ve seen a lot of your posts like this & I genuinely have to ask: what is the point in worrying/prepping/stockpiling when it’s going to effect nearly everything for an indeterminable amount of time? It feels like anything you could do would be too small-scale/stopgap to matter
jk rowling has said the profits from that new harry potter series are going to be used to try and take away trans rights wherever possible btw, so just letting you know if you watch it on streaming or pay for it you are directly funding that
Okay, so everyone seems very confused about the vaccine recommendations discussed today.
These recommendations are not automatic. There is still a process, and it's the same process that we went through when the Biden Administration tried to do this two years ago.
The way it's being carried in the press is wrong.
These are "proposed" recommendations that are about to go through VRBPAC and ACIP.
.... PROPOSED.
Just like when the Biden admin PROPOSED it and we stopped it through the process.
Nothing here is locked in until next month and we are going to have to do everything we have literally already done to make sure this doesn't happen.
Protecting the recommendation is really only about fulfilling the ADA requirement that insurance companies have to pay for it; they must be recommended by ACIP.
So, unless they want to tax Americans who are trying to protect themselves, they are going to have to get their heads straight about this.
And we have just about a month to do it.
Don't squander that time by thinking it's over or listening to people who say it is.
New article and call to action will be out tomorrow.
Don't be discouraged, we are currently winning this fight.
Wait, people are upset that Murderbot has a human face? I thought it was because the human is a Stereotypical White Male. The whole point is that it’s a mix of human and robotic traits.
But also? If you wanted a robot going on murder sprees this isn’t the series for you anyway.
Also because of TDOV I want to say I love you, trans lesbians!!! You are a VITAL part of the lesbian community and I am not exaggerating in the slightest. The rest of us need to speak up and defend and love and uplift our trans sisters and siblings now more than ever!!!

My mentor had a great idea re: grocery prices and tariffs. Buy directly from Black farmers. Most will ship directly to you, and this index will show you a list of Black farmers by region: https://t.co/wlMZic74jT
