so many new plays abt the AIDS 'era'. so few, if any, connecting the dots to now

loving the plague theatre's failure

today in pocket theatre, i write abt how, against all evidence, ppl stopped worrying and started loving the plague. open.substack.com/pub/csvich/p...

I knew Amena well enough by now to recognize she was feigning polite interest to disguise horrified interest.

I truly wish more people would read science fiction and not just watch big-budget adaptations. SF authors have thought about the ethics of the creator vs. the (technological) creation / created ever since Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein.

Knowing humans, perhaps long before then.

The team hopes enough chicks will survive this year to bring the world Kākāpō population to 300—a major milestone for a species that was teetering with just 51 individuals in 1995.

I love Ikiru.

My wife says I like The Pitt because "where else do you see competent people in positions of authority trying to help?"

Enough can’t be said about how “machine-learning” simply reiterates the anti-blackness of tech bros and their ilk. And that includes the violence of disregard: “oh, we didn’t anticipate that as a possible problem.” That’s racist too.

When NYC announced the eviction moratorium in March 2020, I sat in front of my TV and cried.

Early Covid was a horror movie on the East Coast, especially for NYC (I was in Philly), but I remember thinking, "surely we'll get Medicare for All."

Well. I underestimated the depth of our nation's sins.

limitation (unsafe to breath unfiltered virus air) breeds innovation (lookin cute regardless)

Some kids transferred from one school to another.

Word got back.

“Someone wears a a good mask full-time here too!”

#OneOfTheTwo 😷

FUCK YEAH!

Smart, competitive athletes want every possible edge they can get. It amazes me when they don't mask before a once-in-a-lifetime competition.

Encouraging to see some members of the US Olympic team wearing masks to protect their health ahead of competition.

Today we honor Vivien Thomas, an African American who worked as a lab assistant because he couldn't afford medical school. He helped develop a life-saving surgical procedure for babies with a congenital heart defects. In 1976 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

Beloved @jeremydnichols.bsky.social is watching every Moby Dick film adaptation and every time one gets going I hear, “Cuddle, you cowards!”

If any disabled/chronically ill people in the South want to share any stories of how they've been impacted by the storms, please reach out at jmetraux@motherjones.com or signal juliametraux. 49

This is for a potential @motherjones.com story, thanks!

I’m super impressed.

Not only masking, but spreading the message in such a positive way.

Great job team.

The employment contracts for Preservation citizens were pretty simple, because their planetary legal code had so many in-built protections already.

If you've stopped masking, it's not too late to start again. Remember: the ruling class who help trash our planet with fossil fuels, making pandemics & zoonotic spillover more likely, want us to believe Covid is over

I love this zine so much!! You crushed it. It’s in this Clean Air In Schools resources list I’ve been collecting drive.proton.me/urls/VACVER4...
