ljs_lj has a tumblr

I was on livejournal (and technically still am), but most of fandom has gone to the darkside, so I finally caved and did so as well. Don't mind me and don't worry - I'm randomly reblogging things I've bookmarked ever since I learned tumblr existed. Sometimes I reblog from random people because a post I bookmarked in 2010 doesn't exist anymore and Google helps me find someone who reblogged it before it disappeared.

slept in today, what’d I miss?

go back to bed

[ljs-lj]

FYI still alive.

Trump and MAGA people are still terrible.

My new job is not great but still 500x better than the last one.

[ljs-lj]

I am alive.

I am fine. My family home is in the yellow zone but the border between yellow and red near them hasn’t changed in about 48 hours, so fingers crossed that stays stable. Air quality in the Portland Metro Area is terrible. Plenty of people have lost their homes in rural areas. I’ve been spending my time on another form of social media due to the need to engage locally. Wishing everyone the best and hoping anyone in the areas impacted by the fires here in the West is okay.

I keep loudly announcing "Oh so this is the Bad Place!" but no one in a bow tie has shown up to tell me off for ruining their torture scenario. Sigh.

I think Vicky is running this neighborhood...

hey with tr*mp abruptly announcing that they’re ending the census count on september 30, much earlier than originally planned (source, dated August 4, 2020), it’s vitally important that you get your census response in immediately.  the census is used to determine how many seats your state gets in the house of representatives and also helps allocate federal funding for schools, roads, hospitals, and fire departments (source 1) (source 2). 

it’s just a brief questionnaire, but it’s one of the most important things you can do to help your community right now. hundreds of millions of dollars are on the line, and some states are already poised to lose multiple seats in the house because of low response rates (source). it only takes a couple minutes, so please, consider taking a break and filling it out now!

anyone heading back to school in the US to live on a college campus for the fall semester should uhhhhhhhhhhhh pack light and have a plan to get the hell out of dodge at a moment’s notice

[marisatomay]

this sounds jokey but i’m dead serious. if you plan on living on a college campus this fall please know that there is no amount of cleaning or “distancing” will keep COVID out of the school. these schools know that they are risking your life and the lives of their faculty by bringing people back on campus but they want your money more than they care if you live. 

think about how unventilated dorm rooms are. think about how you somehow have a cold for 4 months straight at school. think about how fast the flu moves through a dorm. think about how foolish people act at when they’re drunk with friends. all it takes is one get together where 5 people remove their masks to play kings cup and the whole school is fucked. 

you need a plan now. you need to pack light so you can leave quickly if necessary. you need to work out now how you will get home in the event that you need to be off campus immediately. if by some miracle you’re still there by october you can cross that bridge when you come to it. but you need to make a plan now.

[archaeo-geek]

Please please also have a plan for how you will self-isolate for a few weeks once you’re out. A whole bunch of students who may have been exposed, all leaving and travelling home to stay with friends or parents before they might develop symptoms, is an instant viral explosion waiting to happen. Protect your families and loved ones - plan to keep your distance for a while if at all possible.

Please, please, please vote this November! Get your mail-in ballot in the mail as soon as possible, so Trump’s fuckery with the USPS has the smallest possible chance to discount it!
