You probably think this is a touch of hyperbole. If you do, that just tells me not only are you not paying attention, you are actively ignoring all the trans people this has happened to. This is life in the UK as a trans person in 2026.

someone has meta glasses at this web conference

day two: thrifted shirt and pants, Facebook marketplace shoes. I was super uncomfy all day yesterday and realized it was bc of my ear loop mask. fuck an ear loop mask tbh. head straps only from now on. also I’ve worn these 3m vflex masks almost daily for 5 years so they basically feel like nothing.

I’m at a web conference this week and am realizing that my clothing packing choices were deeply unfortunate. I haven’t been to a web conference since 2001-08, & my goal back then was to make sure everyone could tell I made my own clothes. now I dress like a WFH web dork who runs a circus part time.

Danny Trejo, Harvey Keitel and Henry Thomas to star in Daily Wire‘s new pro-ICE movie

What happened?  

I thought that Harvey Keitel starred in too few films in recent years... and now this?

"A call sheet seen by Deadline lists Danny Trejo, Harvey Keitel and Henry Thomas among the cast."

tonight I was at a charity trivia night for this local immigration support org. the emcee mentioned the ppl the org has helped avoid detention and we all applauded. I spaced out for a sec, and when I came back to the present I was still clapping but everyone else had stopped.

Yet annother article about rising flu and Covid infections where the word mask doesn’t appear even in the section telling people what steps they can do to protect themselves. There seems to be an almost pathological aversion to talking about wearing a mask even in 2026 www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...

Me talking about someone I've posted with on the same social media site for a long time but never actually met
Still from the television show What We Do in the Shadows showing Laszlo speaking. Text reads "he's my best friend, he's my pal. He's my homeboy, my rotten soldier. He's my sweet cheese, my good-time boy."

Christa Pike was tortured yesterday by the state of TN in every single USians name and the fact is that this is a country that is mostly OK with this. This says everything about all of us. We are all implicated in this barbaric practice. It's sickening.

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

Hyperlink text should make sense when read out of context. Screen reader users can navigate from link to link, and can listen to links in a list. When navigating this way, only the link is read. So "click here" or "read more" won't make sense.

A friend has Covid right now. They have lost their sense of smell and they're having cognitive problems. This hit me today, as it often does: we made, and continue to make, a huge collective mistake in allowing a virus that impacts the brain to transmit unmitigated globally.

9/ Now's also the time to mask in crowded indoor spaces, especially if you’re at higher risk or spending time with someone who is. Air filters or even opening windows is also a great way to mitigate spread. If you're sick, stay home if possible.
