@mcnado are you testing for bird flu? https://www.cdc.gov/han/2025/han00520.html

C'mon January. Give us some rain. Rain for SoCal. Rain for my NorCal garden. Precious cool winter weather. Pretty please 🙏

So I have #cancer again, which means I can go back to being even more insufferable about people wearing masks when they're out and about. \o/

Just a reminder, if you can't wear a mask for a medical reason, the fact that *other people* are wearing them around you still helps protect you.

So you should be advocating that everyone who can, wear a mask, even if you can't.

Beautiful. Common phrases in narrative responses to the question "What do you like best about #StarTrek?" from my survey data. Especially tickled that "gay space communism" made it onto the top 20 list.

(common words/stopwords such as "in", "the", "of" etc have been removed)

Dunno who needs to hear this, but people are still dying of #covid. A family friend just passed after catching it a couple weeks ago.

Please mask up and talk to the mainstream, more trusting people in your life who think they're invincible because they got vaccinated a couple times. They seem to be the ones hurting the most this round and are generally unaware of the risk of organ damage and long covid.

A lot of no-car advocates really have their order of operations wrong. The *first* step should be making public transit as accessible and easy to use as possible. That includes things like making sure people have the personal mobility equipment they need to use transit, like wheelchairs and scooters. Making sure elevators are working. Making public transit free, if possible.

Eliminate the need to use cars first, *then* disrupt car infrastructure.
