So sorry to hear that. Covid took and is continuing to take so many prisoners (I’m one of them). It’s horrible. Sending hugs 🫂

Interestingly enough, the JD Vance/Usha Vance/Erika Kirk love triangle doubles as a nightmare blunt rotation.

Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

This is what I mean when I say that present-day covid denialism is right wing. It was a plan born of corporatists and wholly adopted by centrists and even leftists eager to pretend the pandemic was over, which should immediately give anyone thinking about it pause.

If you love Jamaican food, music, culture - if you love wining to dancehall at carnival or getting high to reggae music or watching JA in the Olympics please be ready to donate to the humanitarian assistance JA is going to so desperately need 🙏🏽

Jamaica gives the world so much, please give back 🇯🇲

a lot of people are under the impression that vaccines prevent transmission. i think this was something that joe biden said himself during a cnn townhall. it’s not true. vaccines don’t prevent infection or long covid. in case you don’t wear a respirator, start wearing one now.

Shingles Vaccination Linked to Vascular Benefits Several observational analyses suggest higher cardiovascular and dementia risks in those with and without HIV who get shingles and lower risks with vaccination.

In the US: If you're 50 or older (or 19/older & immunocompromised), please get vaxxed against shingles. It's no joke.

Melissa strengthens to a Category 5 hurricane and is forecast to make landfall in Jamaica Hurricane Melissa has intensified to a Category 5 storm as it nears Jamaica. On Monday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center reported that Melissa is expected to make landfall on the island Tuesday, bri...

Jamaica contributes 0.02% to global greenhouse gas emissions even thought it is 0.03% of the global population.

Meaning JA emits 33% less than its population share would predict.

Meanwhile it’s facing a historic hurricane caused disproportionately by emissions from high income countries.

A grocery store calling the cops to keep people from pulling food out of a dumpster is permanently etched in my brain as people with money and power deciding if they can't profit, they would rather see food rot and people starve.

Man, I can’t stop thinking about the folks in Jamaica. This hurricane looks like it’s going to be brutal.

welcome to America, where the idea that kids should have food gets you labeled some kind of communist

1) we’ve had the productive capacity to produce food for every living person on this planet

2) we have the logistics to deliver these to every person on this planet

3) we have ideologies and philosophies to know that’s good

That we don’t is a choice. And a moral failure.

Measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000.

RFK Jr. must resign.

one of the most deeply infuriating aspects of american politics is close to half of americans would love if 20% of the country starved to death

ive decided that i genuinely do not understand the current right wing ideology at all. no idea what you could get out of it that would make you feel good about yourself or the direction of the world you occupy. just really bizarre stuff

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

*me with chronic pain in my 20s*

"but you're soooo young! you're too young to need a cane"

*me with chronic pain in my 40s*

"middle age is just like that. wait til you're my age"

different words, same result: trying to pretend I'm not disabled because it makes people uncomfy

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Elon's the kid who had a Super Nintendo AND a Sega Genesis, but still no one wanted to come over.

It's really okay to watch a stupid movie, read a book, or shut down whatever social media app and do work that means something to you.

if we are all going to be forced to relive 2016, they should at the very least let us see mad max fury road in theaters again

This has been the darkest Toyotathon of my lifetime. Hold your family and friends close this holiday season and enjoy the good moments.

Will this reheated Mac and cheese destroy my stomach? Yes. Will it be worth it? Absolutely

I know exactly what I want to watch but I don’t know what it is.

Fun, not depressing, funny, not mean, good jokes, also maybe some fun mystery elements.

Basically I need something for people who would watch a new Knives Out movie every ten days or so.

why were they pumping up jam? i thought you were supposed to spread it.

How many Happy Meals do you need to eat before they start to work? I've just had six and I feel terrible.
