I run mask/respirator Q&A webinars twice a month in partnership with a mask bloc. I talk about mask mods, decorations, and accessories; I explain how fit testing measurements work for comparing different models; I help people find models in sizes that might fit better; and so on.

Want to check out a Q&A? The next one is on Saturday, October 25th, at 5:30pm Central.

Here is the bloc's post about it:

I was corrected for saying “real name” when I meant “legal name.” So, a reminder:

Your LEGAL name is a name that identifies you for official purposes.

Your REAL name is the name by which a practitioner of the occult arts could conjure you in a summoning circle and bind you to complete a task.

To elaborate - Patreon is testing the waters via survey to see how much pushback they might get if they tried rolling out AI (again, IIRC). These were sent randomly to *some* creators, but not all. The link works for *anyone* that has a Patreon so….if you hate AI (uncommon as that is in creators) this is your chance to shine.

If you've ever thought "It's such a bummer that farm jobs suck so bad, no American would ever wanna do them,"

NONE OF THAT IS TRUE.

Here's what building a proper damn farm sector with real jobs & upward mobility would look like. (Extremely abridged bc 8 minutes.)

TIL: PBS has a streaming service called Passport that you get access to for as little as $5 donated to your local station per month. It's good! Lots of great documentaries, some foreign language shows, usual PBS stuff.

Voting is Your POWER Apr 4, 2025

🚨🚨Calling all North Carolina voters!! Here is a list of every voter that Nazi Regime member Jefferson Griffin is trying to disenfranchise, please if you are a NC voter check to see if your name is on here, you have 15 DAYS to cure your ballot to make sure your vote counts! #ncpol #northcarolina #NCPolitics https://thegriffinlist.com/.

The Griffin List

A list of 60,273 North Carolina voters – these are registered voters who showed ID to early vote in the November 2024 election – whose votes Jefferson Griffin wants to not be counted. Griffin lost a close election for the North Carolina Supreme Court, confirmed via two recounts. He then sued the North Carolina State Board of Elections to have the 60,273 votes nullified.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True.

A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.
