i still think the worst spreaders of covid & covid disinformation are healthcare workers. unlike many laypeople, most of them can't use illiteracy as an excuse for treating it like a bad cold. it's literally your job to have an accurate basic understanding
I had this guy friend in the 2010's that loved modern family like constantly watched it and he said something homophobic once and I was like "dang that's mitch and cam you're talking about" and he told me later that it honestly changed his perception on the entire subject lol
BREAKING: Two people have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building in New York City, holding a banner from the skyscraper's antenna reading, "When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace."
As of now it's unclear how the pair reached the top of the building as police work to get them down from the spire, 1,454 feet above the ground.
When it feels like no one is trying, and it's all so isolating and going to shit... Remember there are gems like holocene doing their best to stand up against the apathy and denial ❤️

Olivia Rodrigo on her Daisy Chain Fields festival!

“In, like, 2020 or something, it was really popular and cool for celebrities to talk about politics, and it’s not anymore. It’s not encouraged.
