I think some of yall need to remember the word "transphobe," because "terf" actually only refers to one specific kind of transphobe, and I guarantee you that elon musk is not even a pretend feminist.

“The most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicate that as of August 12, COVID hospitalizations had increased by 21.6%. In comparison, during the week ending on August 5, hospitalizations had increased by 14%. On July 8, there were 6,454 confirmed COVID hospitalizations in the United States, but since then those numbers have nearly doubled, now sitting at 12,613 hospitalizations nationwide.”

I know that we are all super over it. I know we all want to go back to our lives, and not think about masking indoors.

I feel it. I really do. And as much as I hate it, the reality is that Covid is still out there, still contagious, and it does not care if we are over it, or not.

I don’t agree with the minimizing “it’s just the flu” or “it’s just a cold” rhetoric. I suspect that’s coming from people who are tired, and really WANT Covid to be “just like _____” instead of what it is. But even if the rhetoric were true, I don’t want to get a cold, and I don’t want to get the flu. I don’t like feeling shitty. So I will continue to be cautious. I will continue to mask indoors, not because I’m modeling anything, not because I am afraid, but because I want to minimize my exposure risk to all airborne illnesses, even the ones that aren’t as unpredictable as Covid (and the Long Covid cases, which we still do not fully understand.)

Please be safe, take care of yourselves, and stay healthy.

For what it’s worth: as much as you can also avoid large gatherings, and avoid travelling.

Those two are also, truly, genuinely meaningful contributors to both your personal risk, and general spread. All conferences and conventions are spreader events; all large indoor events likewise. They would be even if everyone masked, and you know everyone isn’t going to. All large gatherings increase risk significantly.

when I was a kid you had to do the charlie the unicorn voice whether you liked it or not. you had to say candy mountain charlieeee in the voice. not like these days

My two favorite groups released god tier albums in 1974 so I guess that was a great year in music

Delighted to see people agreeing. Sheer Heart Attack is absolutely my favorite Queen album. Mr. Natural is my 2nd fave Bee Gees album only behind Size Isn't Everything, but only barely. Thank you for indulging me.

I mean Jesus fucking Christ this is not right

My friend told me the best example to explain the vast difference between a million and a billion

"A million seconds ago was last week. A billion seconds ago we were still dealing with the Soviet union."

This is why when we talk about “rich people” who aren’t paying taxes or who are wasting money, we’re not talking about the person who makes 1 or 2 grains of rice worth of money a year. We’re talking about the person who makes the giant fucking Costco sized pile of rice.
