Ninnys indeed.

Thank you so much! Perfect for a soggy weekend here in the UK.❤️

Oh thank you! I did try to look back, but must have missed that one. Thanks so much for all your Oldster writing & all, & for replying here.❤️

@saribotton.bsky.social Would be wonderful to feature Gladys Mae West in one of your @oldstermag.bsky.social emails !

Thanks so much for replying & checking, & no worries!
Happy too-big-tree season to you & yours.🎄

So wonderful! Any idea of photo credit? Would love to use for a holiday card. thanks!

Thank you so much, hope you don't mind me asking here(my reply on x got a bit mixed up!). Moderna JN.1 was the only one available when we got ours privately a few weeks ago; looking at the charts, is it correct that it is the least effective for current strains? Will it provide any benefit? Thanks!🙏

The Pandemic Has Been a Portal (for a few of us) It's true that most people keep choosing "normalcy". But the COVID conscious community is showing us a radical new way forward, that centers care

In 2020, Arundhati Roy wrote a gorgeous, prescient essay called “The Pandemic is a Portal”. In this piece, I discuss who actually walked through it: the COVID conscious community, and why I’m proud to be a part of it.

Quakers condemn police raid on Westminster Meeting House Police broke into a Quaker Meeting House last night (27 March) and arrested six young people holding a meeting over concerns for the climate and Gaza.

You think the arbitrary arrest of political dissenters cannot happen in the UK? It already does. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

Thank you, Representative Green for speaking out for the American people!! #WeShallOvercome

Thank you Representative Green!!

Absolutely true! Bookshop dot org seems to already be too big & too reliant on single monopolizing sources - more independent distribution networks need to be built, & more importantly, supported, in order for queer & any/all marginalised work to continue to reach folks.

This is because in both the US & UK they only take supply from two monopolising wholesalers who require terms & discounts that small/indie publishers & distributors just can't meet. They are better, but still restricting indie pubs/supply & are creating a smaller monopoly on the ethical market.

Please post more about this if & when you can! Appreciate there is so much more going on, but this will be a tragedy in so many ways, & truly symbolic of much else. Re-writing (& selling off!) history, (though history is always only one of many stories), has such dire consequences. Thank you.

Yes, completely appreciate all this, true & valid. It just is going to take some time, & at the moment, when time is of the essence, whether it is for political/social organisation, or for tracking ongoing health issues, such as covid & bird flu, communicating where & when you can can be valuable.

There are sizeable communities of minority & disabled groups on Twitter who have built good networks & may not have resources(time,energy)to re-build here.They are important to participate in, & for info re:health/science/equity for all. I hate using it but for now checking in still feels essential.

The Smithsonian has already begun to remove webpages of DEAI info & updated pages to remove any references to DEAI.
Whether this is part of a process of protection, or the beginning of capitulation is hard to know.💔

Thank you!!!! Please do keep up stirring up the good trouble! This is the true spirit of the people.

Thank you Senator Murphy for holding the line on the floor right now! Thank you to you & all your colleagues. Please keep going.

Thank you, & thank you to your colleagues who are continuing. Please keep going!
