I cook a lot of food. I try to knit. Green thumbs. KitchenWitch. Love to take pics. I try to see the magic in the mundane, it's there if you look. LOVE my family. Never met a nazi I wouldn't punch.

Working from home is a massive climate benefit and a massive benefit for cities with poor public transit systems. It takes loads of cars off the road which reduces emissions and traffic. It blows my mind that we want to throw that away.

For 20 Years, I Couldn’t Say What Donald Trump Did on the Set of The Apprentice. Now I Can.

The con we pulled on America just won’t die.

It's ridiculous that most Democrats are just watching passively as Republicans are passing mask bans. In states where Democrats hold power, they should absolutely be passing laws that codify and protect people's rights to wear a mask.

Today is the last day U.S. hospitals will be required to report COVID admissions, capacity, or occupancy data to the federal government.

This will make it even more difficult to track the state of the ongoing COVID pandemic, as well as monitor potential pandemics like bird flu.

Turning point: COVID-era hospital reporting set to end

The May 1 sunset is a turning point in the real-time tracking of respiratory pathogens.

No one should ever be harassed or attacked for wearing a mask and businesses should never prohibit employees from wearing a mask to protect themselves.

For public health, workers' rights, and human rights reasons, governments should implement laws that protect everyone's right to wear a mask.

Every person has the right to wear a mask.

There are many good reasons for doing so: COVID, airborne pathogens, sickness, privacy, surveillance, allergies, work etc.

No one should ever have to explain or justify why they are wearing a mask — that’s none of your business.

Hey governments, if you are completely ignoring the current pandemic, how the heck can we trust y'all to prevent the next one?

Columbia today: We arrested 100s of peaceful pro-Palestine protestors. This has nothing to do with free speech!

Columbia yesterday: We welcome violent pro-Nazi & anti-Muslim speakers. Free speech is sacred on our campus!

Funny how that works.🤔

“People have gone back to coughing into their hands and then shaking hands with other people. Mask-wearing has disappeared. We are going back to our old bad habits. We may come to regret that.”

Reminder: One of the best ways to prevent the next pandemic is to stop being in denial about the one that is ongoing.
