@tillshadeisgone Maintenance Phase cover that pretty well in a couple of their podcasts. I think in the Kellogg and BMI episodes at least, and it's a foundation that they keep touching on.

@skinnylatte YES. I took a barre class in FiDi and I think I lost all my gut microbes by being around such a sterile environment and people.

Question for diaspora from the imperial periphery (immigrants from colonized lands): what does your family and your culture always request you bring back to the homelands as souvenirs? What do you go shopping for at Costco etc?

It's black history month mofos

@skinnylatte Adrianna and puns, the classic combo

@skinnylatte I heard that he's still masking (makes sense for a stats person) so I wanted to read up on him. Then he comes with hot fire like: Bitcoin is the Detector of Imbeciles

Nassim Nicholas Taleb (author of Black Swan), the statistician, has a page on his website dedicated to his haters. He even has a special page for Noah Smith. I love this level of pettiness.

"I missed so much work when I was sick with the flu I missed a whole paycheck
Since then we haven't been able to afford toiletries and we're completely out, this makes hygiene difficult especially as two disabled people so if anyone can help it'd be much appreciated

@skinnylatte I feel like I want to fight every time I go, which is not often!!! Their labor practices are bad too, unfortunately

@skinnylatte interesting! Thanks for the explainer. I once played so much DOTA I picked up adding "la" at the end of sentences from all the SG players. Pure natural speech mimicry

@skinnylatte @sipi_xo HEARD. I'll take a Vietnamese, Chinese, or Japanese bakery over a Euro one anyday.

@skinnylatte who do you think wins in a nerd battle? Train museum docents, archaeology museum volunteers or aquarium volunteers?

@zpitschi tha fuuuuuck. 僕はロスの道にハンナさんのポスターを見ました。「コバヤシさんを捜索中の先月２４日には、父親のライアンさんが空港近くで遺体で見つかる悲劇も起きていた。家族や当局によると、自ら命を絶ったという」でまじでナンテコッタ

@lazerwalker Californians: slavery by individuals? No way. Slavery by the state? Full backing.

Today is the 7th anniversary of the Charlottesville Unite The Right racist/fascist rally. A large part of it was planned in Orange County, CA. PBS has a documentary about it, Documenting Hate: Charlottesville. Never let anyone tell you California is a wonderland. We grow hate in our backyard too.

I signed some letters to my local representatives to support CA Assembly Bill 3106: Reinstate Science-based COVID Isolation Periods and Sick Pay for Workers. Please do if you are in #California #CovidIsNotOver

@zpitschi そうです。冬はひどかったです。その時に毎週間の中には2,000人が亡くなりました。
