@maiab@emilykmay There is actually a sizable migration from Texas. So it’ll be interesting to see what that does for key factors. Because as many have echoed we are an extremely poor state with a small population. We constantly rank last on all key indicators of health and wellness.
@emilykmay@nienna121 Actually, slight correction there. Like most blue states, while state leadership is blue, many counties, municipalities, the more rural you get, the red-er it becomes.
11. These three factors: lack of triggering the human disgust mechanism, inability to be generalised, and lack of widespread understanding of sequelae of infection all contribute to the societal denial of the dangers of Covid-19.

They are gonna say the apps aren't covered by HIPAA, they are doing to use your very personal information against you, and they JUST declared their intention to bring back asylums for "disruptive" ppl.
Watching Squid Games after The Bear is probably not best for my anxiety. lol. It’s kinda fitting these shows are so popular in this moment in time. Gonna switch to Sunday Morning to calm my nerves. Need that soothing trumpet into.

incredible that the republicans are going to absolutely destroy Medicaid and also build a fucking secret police and concentration camps and Dems as spending all of their time attacking zohran instead of doing anything about it
Very unpopular opinion but I think in a healthier world our schools would teach the so-called “useless things”: Latin, old poetry, classic cinema, how to read and enjoy challenging novels. Studying these things won’t make you a better person. But they will give you a better life.
Darkly awaiting the onslaught of shocked Pikachu faces from people who thought they were just voting for the racism finally realizing they were voting to fuck themselves over too.
As MLK Jr said, we're integrated into a burning house. And it's falling apart. We need solutions that are far more nimble +creative than just reintegration. And they exist! I get that uncompromising leftists like me are annoying! But at least, we affirm life.
The Empire does not
Just a reminder that being a garbage collector/sanitation worker is more dangerous than being a cop. And their roles are absolutely essential to preserving public health.
