One of the best decisions we ever made was adopting Fi from a local rescue. She had a safe place to call home & brought so much love into our lives. In memory of Fiona, please consider donating to one of the following orgs or your local welfare/rescue org. Adoption saves lives.

You better fucking subscribe to The Onion. This is the kind of thing we will do with your money.

It allowed us to buy InfoWars. Now help us staff it.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again: Covid relief became the Republican CEILING fot government aid. Democrats should have made it their FLOOR and built on it. Instead they dismantled it, which ruined and ended lives. Worst domestic governance choice of my lifetime.

Ngl there isn’t a single leftist strategy that will be successful unless we address our extreme individualism. Fascism feeds on loneliness and isolation, it will continue to have power unless we radically change the structural and social barriers keeping us apart.

Reminder: Masks protect against all types of airborne viruses.

If another pandemic starts, masks will be a key first line of defense, especially as we won't have a vaccine right away.

every use of AI uses tons of water as coolant. there is a DROUGHT in NYC and prospect park has been scorched. Save water by typing in “-AI” after your Google search for “is Moo Deng a nepo baby.” you dont have to use AI against your will!

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Too many people think Covid is inevitable - so they’ve given up trying to prevent it.

The compassion is IN the trying. The effort is the radical act. If you get covid - you will have done everything you could to break chains of transmission & protect others. That’s worth doing.

[Talia Jane @taliaotg]

Since the city can’t be assed to say it: Wear an N95 mask & keep your windows closed. Wildfire smoke contains PM2.5, tiny particles that when inhaled absorb deep in your bloodstream & can cause chronic respiratory issues.

If you can smell smoke, you’re being exposed. Mask up.

[HeyJupiter @ShesKindaALot]

Nah. I’m a white woman & people talk about the harmful things ww do all the time. As they should. Instead of whining about it I listen & reflect & if it doesn’t apply to me I move on. If it does I think about why & how to do better so it won’t in the future.
Grow the fuck up.

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

kamala pledged to be tougher on the border than trump, wouldn’t ban fracking, pledged allegiance to israel, and gave no strong support to trans people. is the far left pandering in the room with us?

[danita @danitasteinberg]

I know it sucks to admit you were wrong when you stopped masking. It sucks to acknowledge that you’ve harmed people by spreading disease. It sucks to accept that COVID is dangerous. But you can decide RIGHT NOW to wear a high-quality mask in public spaces again. I believe in you!

[Street Medic @RndmStreetMedic]

You know what would be better than wearing a blue bracelet?

An n95 mask.

Just saying.

“why do you care if they overturn gay marriage if you live in new york?”

mmm god forbid i care about all the queer people that live in red states who might not want to uproot their entire lives in order to benefit from that basic af human right.

once again, really urging people to get a library card if you haven't already - and not just that, i'm begging you to USE your library resources. show up. though they're important, we do way more than just books. libraries are spaces that allow community building and care.

‘you live in a progressive area, you’ll be fine’ it’s not just about me, it was NEVER just about me. it should never just be about you.

If only Democrats had some model from our past for how to win popular support and beat back right-wing authoritarianism.

[chris kindred @itskindred]

They said this back in 2016. That a spirit of resistance would move through us and that the political turmoil would become a pressure that turned us into diamonds. That we would gather in speakeasies and make masterworks that would save us. You know what actually happened?
