Don't Die At Sea

Also i highly recommend getting a gaggle of friends together and scrolling through the piles and piles of archived winamp skins together. Peak experience.

MAGAs being in a racism-fueled panic about the Ebola epidemic ripping through a part of Africa is EXTREMELY FUCKING ENRAGING when you know for a FACT it would NOT be this bad had they not defunded USAID and stripped the region of the ability to monitor and track disease outbreaks

I got this extremely snotty angry reply to one of my gardening related posts once that was to the effect of “the only people who garden are wealthy because it’s entertainment and you don’t have to survive off it” from a communist catgirl anime icon haver and I just looked at my foodstamps-funded collection of garden vegetables in the back yard and fucking screamed at the top of my lungs

Fellas, is to bourgeoisie to ::checks hand:: till the soil to grow food crops?

I like men

I spent like 15 years waiting for some insane massive traumatic event to usurp Katrina and then Covid happened and everyone around me (minus my family who also survived Katrina) started saying shit like “this is absolutely unprecedented” and “I can’t believe the government would do this to us” and I felt like the fucking joker about it

I told my (virtual at the time, because of lockdown) trans support group about this and they were probably the most understanding about it. A lot of people were like “these are unrelated completely” and “you are just traumatized and projecting” but I swear to cowboy Christ the US government does not value human life in the way you think it does and this is directly reflected in public health and disaster preparedness funding

People die on the job every summer. Remember that water and shade breaks are crucial when working in the heat, and calling emergency services for signs of serious heat illness (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, headaches, dizziness, clammy skin, confusion, agitation, slurred speech, high body temperature, rapid heart rate, etc.) is entirely appropriate. If you’re afraid to call 911 for reasons such as being undocumented, you’ll need to get very familiar with how to prevent, recognize, and treat heat illness. If you are symptomatic and not allowed a break, water, or medical treatment, walk out. No matter how broke you are, your job is not worth your life.
