Not gonna lie this makes me a bit irritated. Here's the real version of this photo:

Instead of a cutesie reference to film censorship it was an explicit statement of defiance of Maryland's criminalization gay sex, which was not repealed until 2002. This wasn't a guy saying "Oh they can't put what I do in the movies according to a completely voluntary industry code" he was saying "The State of Maryland wants to put me in jail for being gay and having gay sex."

It wasn't a guy being cheeky about sex in an ambiguous, cute way. It was a man stating, in no uncertain terms, that a whole state of the United States considered him a criminal for being homosexual.

Current state list as of July 10, 2026. This is going to keep spreading because the current cause of unknown. Avoid all raw fruits and vegetables and wash everything very carefully, including your hands and surfaces that come in contact with produce. Trust nothing.

The cause is known: farmers aren't giving farmworkers a place to go to the bathroom or wash their hands

[purry-the-furry]

y'all need to stop saying this without any evidence cited. maybe there is proof out there, and just no one is linking to it, so please do pass it along if you have it. otherwise, this is a very dangerous thing to be spreading around. and you know why I can so confidently doubt that we have evidence for the source at all? because the mandate for reporting was removed (which is the entire point of the original post here lol)

the reason it's dangerous to be spreading this narrative is because it puts a spotlight on and scapegoats an already vulnerable group of people (yes scapegoating can happen even when you don't intend it to). what the left calls "farmers not giving farmworkers a place to go to the bathroom or wash their hands" the right will call "illegal aliens shitting on our food." I wouldn't even be surprised to learn that this claim started on the right, and then some left-of-center folks immediately ceded the premise and are now just feeding into the narrative by claiming it's true without any evidence

the one article I did find that mentions farm workers specifically goes out of its way to not single out the workers as the source, but rather as the front line victims. the actual source, as usual, is most likely polluted water (water which, as an aside, is very very often polluted by runoff from factory farming facilities; facilities which this admin has removed almost all regulation for and has oversen major increases in the number of animals crammed into smaller space & "processed" at ever faster speeds).

this article is by Forbes which isn't exactly known for being a super pro-immigration outlet or anything lol

Liebman emphasizes, “I don’t think it’s the farm worker that is at the center of this. I think it has more to do with the crops being contaminated from other sources like irrigation water and then how we process and package our food.” She also speaks about “the fear that’s percolating through this population,” noting “workers being afraid to report anything, fear of losing their job, and fear of being deported.”

The farm workers aren’t provided with sick leave or with reliable access to medical care. Thus, they are the initial victims in this disaster, because of the conditions they are forced to work and live under. They are the proverbial “canaries” in this growing public health crisis.

Working an office job will truly make you have the wildest enemies, bc why is my nemesis rn a woman I’ve never met and who exclusively haunts me by sending diabolical emails, and also a specific guy who left my company before I even worked here and made the system so fuckass that it ruined procedures for like a year

[ryan-sometimes]

Yesterday my nemesis (woman I’ve never met and whose face I’ve never seen) sent my office an email so rude, basically saying we had fucked up every project she ever ordered from us, one of the worst emails I’ve ever read in my life.

And it pissed me off so badly that I spent the ENTIRE WORK DAY today compiling evidence from every project my team has ever done for her, pulling past emails she’d sent us, putting together an entire case proving that she had been the problem all along. That she got projects mixed up, that she’d made requests that were nonsensical, literally everything you could possibly imagine. Screenshots of emails, reports we’d submitted, EVERYTHING.

This woman in particular has been terrorizing my team for years, her name is almost a slur in my office, I had simply had ENOUGH of her.

I put all of this evidence together and sent it to all of my bosses at 4:30pm. Then I took a long break to eat a sweet treat and drink some tea.

After my break, my bosses all called in an emergency meeting with me and they said they read my report and fucking loved it. And I sat on a teams call with my boss’ boss as she wrote my nemesis the scathing email I had always fantasized about sending, using the evidence I’d compiled, and hit send.

It was the most satisfying workday I’ve had since I got hired.
