Just saw a TikTok from a guy who used to be an anti-vax Republican, who changed his stance after getting long COVID. He now uses his platform to combat misinformation.

And hey, props to him for changing his mind and trying to do good but: he didn’t care about it until it effected him personally. That is the mindset that has brought us into the fourth year of this shit.

You can’t individualize your way out of a public health issue. Like it or not, you’re the public

Wondering if anyone has contacts with the #Ukrainian community in Ireland - especially those who have arrived in the last year.

I am involved in helping to run a circus festival that will be adjacent to where many Ukrainian refugees are being hosted and we would like to welcoming to them but we need to be mindful of HSE safeguarding rules.

You're not supposed to drink coffee before giving blood but driving a car at 7:30am on a Saturday without coffee seems like the prosecutor would use "premeditated" a lot.

Oh, sure, no problem. I'll click the link and take care of this right away. Thanks!

No, Convenience Store ATM, I will not like you on Facebook or follow you on Twitter. We're not friends. Friends don't charge $3.75 to hand you your own twenty bucks.

The Russians cut off one of his arms and a leg, set him on fire, shot in face, left in forest.

Black Lives Matter.

We should not know about Keenan Anderson. He should be alive, and teaching today.

His death was a brutal form of lynching. If you’ve seen the body cam footage, you know the absolutely hideous and unacceptable violence he endured.

I find the lack of coverage from mainstream media to be repulsive.

A society that allows these incidents of murder is not a civilized society.

Apparently, there is a new #TwitterExodus wave.

In case you see this, new friend:

1. YOU are the algorithm. Follow, like, boost, and participate.
2. When uploading a picture, please add descriptive #AltText
3. Write hashtags with a capital letter for each word #LikeThis
4. Consider using the content warning feature more often than you would on other sites.
5. Don't be a dick.

Hi everyone!

This year is off to a bad start. I bought a picture book called 2,023 Cats and there are only 12 pages in it.

That one in the left..

Um, good luck finding that via streaming.

This is sort of a collectors item now that I think about it
