Mastodawn

Barbara Jordan—a Black woman from Houston’s Fifth Ward—crossed every line drawn to keep her out: the color line, the gender line, the sexuality line, the Mason-Dixon line. And when, 49 years ago this week, the nation asked who would speak for America in crisis, she answered. With conviction. With the Constitution. And with a voice they never forgot.

stole your meme, yadda yadda cuz GLUE PEOPLE is who we once called ELDERS.

a hallmark of #fascism is the belief #history is a thing that lives outside of us; and that, thru violent means, only the “winners” write and impose as The Truth.

but History isn’t a thing.

history exists in being, living, doing.

books, archives, GIT repos are great, but give us a false sense of security. when “life happens”, we need Elders to wing solutions.

there is no institutional memory, only Elders.

Many #COVID19 accounts are screaming about how the Walgreens positive rate is rising. So what?

The thick upper line shows Walgreens' positive testing rate. The thin lower line shows COVID in wastewater, the most accurate measure of infections and risks.

- Early 2022: The two were quite aligned
- 2022 to 2024: not aligned, but tended to move together
- Since 10/2024: No relationship whatever.

Walgreens' positive rate hasn't been an accurate indicator of COVID risks for over 9 months. 1/2
