I knew eventually I’d have to make this post but the events of this week have pretty much been the last straw. The CDC is no longer publishing scientifically accurate information about vaccines.

Please do not get health information from the CDC for the foreseeable future. If you are an American, depending on your state, the state health department may have more accurate information. States in the Governor’s Public Health Alliance are relatively trustworthy.

I’ve personally been using Dr. Kaetlyn Jetelina’s newsletter as a less-grim way to keep up with US public health news. It’s on substack unfortunately, but the information is solid.

Yale School of Public Health’s POPHIVE is also a good way to track population health trends in the US.

I know this is not at the top of the administration’s crimes. But it is one of them, and it is going to hurt a lot of people. Not much I can say but that I’m heartbroken.

if youre not in school anymore and are looking for ways to get out of the house more go to the nearest “hip” coffee shop you can that has a bulletin board with flyers on it for local events and attend any and all the ones youre able to ESPECIALLY if they’re free. this is the only actionable advice that has worked for me

lots of very good suggestions for other places to find community events in the notes, including but not limited to:

• libraries, parks, rec centers, and other public amenities
• craft/game/hobby specialty stores or event spaces
• bars or similar venues
• I know I said “if you’re not in school anymore” cause that’s me right now, but if a college/uni campus doesn’t have security requiring a student ID to get in, nothing is stopping you from just Hanging Out on the campus even if you’re not a student there lol. I do it all the time and there are flyers abound
• literally just on a wall or telephone pole outside
• if the only coffee shop around is starbucks, ime even Some starbucks locations have these kind of bulletin boards in them (not the drive thru ones obv). and no, you don’t have to order anything from the starbucks
• instagram and facebook too unfortunately. i know i know i hate them too

also I know that it can be kind of scary or awkward to attend any events you find by yourself. thats ok though. nobody is going to hate you or think you’re weird if you don’t bring a plus one. go my scarab

ive always been willing to die on the hill of cis women being able to beat cis men in sports so nobody will ever ever make me concerned about trans women in womens sports even if i was delusional enough to believe that was a comparable situation. do i think a cis woman could beat a trans woman in fucking pickleball or whatever? Buddy I think a cis woman could beat a cis male bodybuilder in sports. You will not get me

Why Women Have Beaten Men in Marathon Swimming?

Research has shown that women, due to specific reasons, have regularly produced faster times than men in marathon swimming.

Women often outperform men in Olympic shooting. Is it time for open events?

The sport’s governing body says there is little difference in performance between genders. Should men and women compete head-to-head as indi

Men’s and Women’s Gymnastics: Exploring Differences in Olympic Events

Uncover the unique differences between men’s and women's gymnastics at the Olympics. Explore how these events contrast in style and rules.

DeVeau's School of Gymnastics

Women outperform men in many sports, and in many instances, the men’s versions of these sports are rewritten into completely different versions so that they can’t be compared.

And if your reaction to this is “well women don’t outperform men in skills that we typically find impressive” I would implore you to think about why things women tend to be better at than men are valued less by society.

If your reaction is “well that’s cherrypicking examples, its such a small handful of formalized sports” I’d implore you to think of why so many popular sports are structured around the specific set of skills men are better at.

Because the answer starts with m and ends with isogyny.

Worth noting with olympic shooting specifically it was a mixed event, until a woman started beating them, at which point it became gendered. Gendered shooting is like gendered chess, it’s not even a game of strength.

UBI needs to happen. via antiwork

I think most importantly, it would give us the leverage to say “no”. To walk away from bad jobs and abusive managers. To refuse to work in unsafe environments. To demand better pay.

To demand better, because the options are no longer “suck it up” or “die”.

The counter-argument: Not having UBI is in the interests of those in power who want to do anything to the people they are in power over in order to remain in power.

If the greed of the few should come before the need of the many.
