Word of the Day (Japanese): TSUNDOKU - the practice of buying a pile of books and then not getting around to reading them.

Probably the most prescient take on what has just happened, and on the lessons still not learned

in retrospect, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords really might've been a better basis for a system of government.

Whoever wins the election is going to have to deal with a bird flu outbreak that shows no signs of letting up, and now seems destined to become the next pandemic… at a time when neither administration seems willing or able to focus on fighting infectious disease.

WASHINGTON POST: "Trump plans concentration camps for media critics"

WASHINGTON POST *one day later*: "We have opted for no presidential endorsement. Let us explain why this decision is very brave"

I am aware people find me annoying because I still mask. Because I remind them of the pandemic. I see those quick glances and that facial expression like why? You know why. I am aware. And frankly, I’m also tired so whatever.

A mostly nondisabled friend looked at me the other day and said "I'm not sure how I feel about assisted dying but it's interesting that if anyone else is suicidal we do everything to stop them but if they're disabled we want to help them"

yeah, I can't stop thinking about that

It's quite something seeing hospitals warning visitors that bringing covid into hospital is dangerous for vulnerable people while the hospitals aren't testing patients or staff for Covid or doing anything to stop its spread.

The mental gymnastics are olympic level.

[Dr. Jennifer Irwin @drjenirwin]

I don’t know a single person who likes to mask anymore than many toddlers like to wear socks, but when not doing so can lead to dementia & other nasty brain issues, it seems a small price to pay. If you’ve stopped, now would be a great time to start masking again.

[tern @1goodtern]

If you work on the principle that a person who dies from covid has been infected by another person:

One in three hundred americans has killed someone by infecting them with Covid.
I know that sounds harsh, but that's how it works.

[Tim Curry @NotTheTimCurry]

Ah the ‘is Rocky Horror problematic’ chat. Through a 2024 lens - of course it is. But babies, being gay was *illegal* in England 6 years before Rocky was first staged in ‘73.

It was brave, bold & brilliant for its time. Look beyond the end of your own nose, just briefly. Please.

Put those charms on your bag. Write that fanfiction. Do that cosplay. Buy that nerdy thing. Draw your ocs. Enjoy that fandom. Post that video. Don't you dare let societies cringe culture stop you from having fun and expressing yourself!

@ayorapline @BukkitBrown I’ve gotten into several fandoms this way…
