The fact that this is completely incomprehensible to me makes it funnier than if I could understand it

[silver-tongues-blog]

skill issue. i understand it completely

[quiet000001]

I can hear this.

The first 'S' in SARS-CoV-2 stands for "Severe"

As a former humanities student, I feel it is my duty to reblog this one.

““Pizzagate” originated amid Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, after conspiracy theorists became convinced that references to “pizza” in leaked emails from her campaign chair, Jon Podesta, were coded references. The spread of the theory led one believer to enter Comet Ping Pong, a Washington, D.C., pizzeria, with a loaded gun in search of a basement he thought was used to hide victims, though the property ended up having no basement to begin with. Despite this conspiracy theory being widely debunked as a complete fabrication, Boebert nonetheless questioned Clinton last week as to whether or not she had seen anything in the newly released Epstein files related to it. “Have you reviewed any 2025-2026 Epstein files that were released that you believe reference or relate to those specific 2016 claims regarding the Podesta emails, Comet Ping Pong, pizza used as code possibly?” Boebert asked. After questioning about the nature of Boebert’s question and the “wacky Pizzagate scandal” from the former secretary’s legal team, Clinton responded: “Pizzagate was totally made up. It was an outrageous allegation that ended up hurting a number of people, that caused a deranged young man to show up with his assault rifle and shoot up a local pizzeria. I can’t believe you’re even referencing it.””

"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone."

Well that's a banger of a line

some of you are not cis and the thing is that you don't even have to do anything about it. you can just be like "damn that's crazy" and move on with your life. you don't have to change your name. you don't have to change your pronouns. you don't have to choose which flavor of not-cis you are. you don't have to change your wardrobe. you don't have to come out or cut your hair or reinvent yourself. you can just be like "huh neato!" and let that be that. you don't owe anyone a performance of your queerness. not even other queer people. ok that's all thank you and goodbye

"You don't owe anyone a performance of your queermess."

[eldritchbauble]

COVID has killed more people in the US in 5 years than HIV has killed since 1981, and you still can't get queer people to wear a goddamn mask at community events.

[eldritchbauble]

I refuse to believe that it's because you don't care.

I think it's because you're afraid to care.

You'd have to acknowledge that it is that bad, that you and everyone you love could wind up permanently disabled or dead at any time, and that all of our lives have been permanently changed by going through a(nother) mass traumatizing event.

[covid-safer-hotties]

Covid caution is intersectional praxis in action. Acting like covid is over just serves the status quo. Make the right choice. Stand by your politics instead of for nothing.

zero patience for "irreversible damage" rhetoric because like... parents are allowed to do all kinds of other irreversible body modification to their kids and nobody gives a fuck. you can pierce your kid's ears, you can sign them up for a sport that will injure them for life, you can provide or withhold medical care like vaccines according to whatever whims you like. i've mentioned this before but my mom forced me to get laser hair removal done on my legs when i was a teenager because my body wasn't mine, the way i chose to upkeep it was a reflection on her. "irreversible damage" is very much part and parcel of the broader belief that parents own their children's bodies.

This Re: Societal dismissal of the threat covid presents to everyone. In less than five years, long covid has become the most common chronic illness in children, surpassing asthma. Somehow HRT is "irreversible damage" but giving millions of kids a poorly understood chronic illness is just "back to normal"

(P.S. Wear a respirator. Don't catch or spread covid.)

The unknown long term consequences of Covid to my bonus kid is one of many reasons why we mask. I've been dealing with autoimmune crap since I was 12, why on earth would I wish that or anything similar on someone I supposedly love and care about?

Current black sails time travel fic I'm writing started out with the premise of what would it be like for s3 era Flint to meet Thomas from back when he was still a lieutenant in the Navy and quickly devolved into Charles Vane and Thomas Hamilton Become Unlikely Friends

I am so curious now.

if you followed me based on my post about fatness and glp1s but are gonna derail my covid posts and reblogs feel free to see yourselves out. but don't worry if not, I'm not afraid to block.

I'm disabled and mostly housebound (from a virus I got in 2010) and immunocompromised. covid denialism has made people like me have to fear for our lives when we leave the house for years now, because covid is not a cold, it is a sars virus. the pandemic is not over and disabled people have been trying to tell y'all for years that it's disabling people en masse.

if you don't believe me, here's the guide from the sloan kettering memorial cancer center. on the front page in a big red box it reads:

"The long-term consequences of "Long COVID" (the wide range of new, returning, or worsening physical and/or mental health conditions or diseases that can affect individuals after they experience an acute COVID-19 infection) and the variety of new-onset diseases and conditions that are now being associated with COVID-19 infection, are only just now acknowledged as having the potential to cause a mass disabling of society in the years that follow."

Detailed information and resources on the long-term health consequences of COVID-19 infection and the broad social impacts of the COVID-19 p

mask up. protect yourselves and others. and at the very least don't come onto my posts to derail or spout ableist garbage. you have been warned.

i think we should bring this back (with some amendments ofc) if we ever needed an "internet etiquette" for the younger generations, now is the moment to remind them. purity culture kills fandom

as well as the three laws of fandom:

Don't Like, Don't Read (DL;DR), Your Kink is not My Kink And That's OK (YKINMKATO) and Ship and Let Ship

[sorcererofsolitude]

📣 Purity culture kills fandom! 📣

[atlinmerrick]

NO ONE LIVING hasn't been squicked out by something. There's over 7 billion of us, my delights and disgusts aren't universal. So I move on. Don't like the ship? Move on. Don't like____? Move on.

I am not an exception. Neither are you. I don't like it I move on and shut my gob about it because everyone everywhere is squicked out by something and they need to put the thing down and just…motor.
