@dansup @pixelfed I love (and use) both! One for sharing information and the other for imagery only.

But minimizers can't say straight out that the real policy they support is unmitigated mass infection, so they keep repeating falsely reassuring statements like "don't worry about variants" or we "have the tools," so they can create the illusion of pretending to care.

Some COVID minimizers keep saying we can ignore COVID because we have vaccines. Not only is that untrue because layers of protections are most effective, but due to the end of the public health emergency, and greed of pharma companies, many people can't even afford the vaccines.

Commodity fetishism on a whole other level: Confusing my partner by sniffing my credit card because its 85% recycled PVC smell strongly reminds me of my favourite childhood action figures. (Just not sure which...I'm thinking WWF wrestlers, but quite possibly Ninja Turtles or Transformers). #ActionFigures #toys #TheToysThatMadeUs #WWF #Hasbro #TMNT #Transformers

@nick @dentangle Ah now this is becoming clearer, thanks so much. I've gathered the info I needed and will touch base with my admin friend! (I really ought to take over all the handling of this stuff myself at some point, but we go way back and he got me a good deal haha!)
