Okay I love the "I'm vaccinated and ready to party this summer" attitude, but do yous realize you can still transmit the virus to people who are not vaccinated. The vaccine aims to prevent severe symptoms and death, it does not stop transmission. Even if youre vaccinated, you can still catch covid—your case will just be mild or asymptomatic, and you can get other people sick, who may be hospitalized or die if they're not fully vaccinated. So chill out, keep wearing your masks and social distancing. If you don't want to cause you're bored or lonely—SUCK. IT. UP.

This is literally not true stop it. I am 100% for encouraging people to be on the safe side but I’m not gonna stand for misinformation from either side.

When the vaccines were first approved, we did not know if the vaccines stopped transmission, so we were told to act as though they did not stop transmission for safety reasons. They didn’t test for it in the emergency phased trials. It was speculated the entire time that the vaccines likely reduced transmission... because that’s how vaccines work.

Now we have evidence that the mRNA vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna, do actually prevent transmission. Animal studies have shown decreases in transmission. In Israel, where a majority of the adult population is vaccinated (with Pfizer), they have seen a 75-89% reduction in asymptomatic infections, meaning that getting the vaccine significantly reduces your changes of being an asymptomatic spreader. Oxford also has evidence that their AstraZenica vaccine also reduces transmission. It may not be peer reviewed and replicated research, but for all intents and purposes, as of me writing this on March 31, 2021, we can confidently say that the vaccines do prevent some level of transmission.

That being said, people absolutely should continue to follow regulations and guidelines. The CDC guidelines for people who have been fully vaccinated (aka 2 weeks past your last dose) can be found here. Notice that fully vaccinated people are allowed to do things like visit indoors with other fully vaccinated people (or a single unvaccinated household with low risk) without regard to masks or ventilation, but should still wear masks in public or group settings. So absolutely keep wearing your masks and social distancing. Because that’s what the recommendations say. Not because of lies made up about the vaccine.

hanging out with other ADHD people is such a balm. i can interrupt them midsentence and go “look at that nice duck!!” and they’ll immediately turn around and go “oh my god that is a GOOD duck” instead of just snapping at me to pay attention

This shit isn’t edited after the stream, I hope you know.

[inkskinned]

the fact i can touch type/type without looking is so wild to me bc if you asked me to say the alphabet i’d have to do it w/the song but if you asked me to name the order of the keys from right to left i literally couldn’t do it like my fingers know where stuff is but my visual memory has zero clue and that freaks! me! out! the alphabet has no reason to be ordered like that!!! my fingers and my mind know two different alphabets!!! 

[neveth]

What trips me out is that people who type a lot on their smartphones have a SECOND set of muscle memories about where the letters are.

My fingers know where the letters are when I am typing on a keyboard, and then when I start going on my phone, my thumbs know where all the letters are because I sure don’t look at what they’re doing as I type.

[ayamccabre]

Back when texting meant using the number pad and hitting every key several times to get the right letter, people had the muscle memory for that and would txt under the table at school. Also? There are people who suffer brain injuries and lose the ability to read and write who can still type because muscle memory. They can’t read what they’re typing, but they can type what they mean. Wild.
