Boosting again for people getting COVID vaccines (thank you for getting vaccinated!!) because my mentions are full of people finding it helpful. There is way more detail (and citations!) in the thread both up and down but this is the key info!

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

I often think about how Boomers are struggling to reckon with the no contact fallout from emotionally abusing millennials and Gen X kids & how millennials & Gen X parents will face the same reckoning with kids they harmed via repeated, preventable covid infections & careless use of tech like AI.

Catching measles does not make your immune system stronger… it does the exact opposite. It can wipe out your immunity (both natural and vaccine related) to all kinds of diseases. It’s a deadly and disabling disease that we know how to prevent. Get your vaccine. It saves lives.

FYI birders - I was curious about whether to keep using the Merlin app, but I am comfortable with it given this information
threads post from "squiresdujour":  "I use the Merlin app for my interest in birds, and it is wonderful.  Please understand that Merlin and the Lab of Ornithology at Cornell is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit conservation organization managed as part of Cornell's land grand programs, and is NOT part of the large private endowed college.  Let's please direct our well justified anger to the proper targets."

A white star in the middle of it. at the bottom of the poster, a painting of flames in turquoise, with the words "nothing to lose" and other embelishments in pink.
