Hey all. I’ve been mostly out of here for awhile now but time to make it official. You can find me in another place under skies that are blue (same username). See you around the internet ❤️

If there is any place on this earth where it would be both sensible and feasible to mask forever, it is in fact hospitals (and most other health care settings).

“We can’t wear masks in hospitals forever.” Actually, we literally could. In fact, we should. It’s a good idea. It reduces infection. There you go. Solved it.

It's been like this since the beginning of protest. You don't get everyone to agree on belief systems, you get them to agree on a set of moderate demands. That's how you get people to protest with you. It's impossible to find someone who agrees with EVERYTHING you believe.

But it's not fair to expect a bunch of ppl to agree on solutions to OTW's racism problem. The idea that everyone that a protest mentions has to have flat cardboard cutout beliefs that match the protest's intent is simply not fair to anyone involved.

If corporate Pride were to disappear because we don’t need it anymore because less bigots or we don’t need it anymore because we’ve found a better way than American capitalism… great. This isn’t that. And it’s frankly scary.

I cannot stress enough that while corporate pride is tedious, it is a tedium that has consistently announced our existence and humanity to often violent bigots. I was in college when much of the public position was that we were so repugnant that no, stores wouldn’t take our money

As a long-time believer in high-speed rail, I'm happy to report that the push to bring it to downtown S.F. could finally bear fruit -- though at a cost suggesting gold-plated escalators down to the platform sfchronicle.com/sf/article/h…
High-speed rail to downtown S.F. is back on track — but the price tag keeps going up

Despite widespread doubt about the long-promised extension of commuter and high-speed rail...

Word on the street is that Twitter clients are finally done for, which likely means I’m out, too. Find me on DW (link in my profile) while I decide on my next move. Thanks all, it’s been fun (mostly).

I recommend the thread, up and down, but this is the takeaway.

Replying to @LuciaEverblack
When people tell you that supporting a franchise is platforming bigotry, this is what we mean. You cannot draw a straighter line from legislation and violence than you can from JKR to transphobia, and you're helping fund it all. Not with money but with relevance.
