#COVID19 #COVID cautious folks:

Carrying a CO2 monitor helps me check how safe the #AirQuality in a space is, and lower or raise my cautions accordingly. (Details: https://www.harihareswara.net/posts/2023/my-current-covid-risk-approach/#ventilation ) Super useful.

I use and like the #Aranet4 #CO2 monitor. The #Aranet 4 is usually USD$249. It's on sale, direct from the manufacturer, till September 17, for $184.35, with free shipping in the US.

New from me, inside the team of trans engineers, internet sleuths, and their secret weapon (an ex-Kiwi Farms member) who spent the past year trying to keep the world's most notorious anti-trans website offline

A story about the lengths targets of harassment campaigns have to go through when "deplatforming" is only the beginning https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/09/03/kiwifarms-website-offline

I've been looking at some polls about how various demographics view trans issues and other LGBTQ issues.

The polls are nearly always framed as if the subject is evaluating what other people (those LGBTs) are doing.

I wonder if responses would shift if they started with questions like:

Have you ever had a impactful bad experience resulting from not understanding or fitting into gender norms?

Have you always felt 100% aligned with your gender?

etc.

I ran across this guide while googling what to expect for my Dad's Medicaid intake interview tomorrow, sharing it here in case it's helpful to others https://howtogeton.wordpress.com/2020/03/02/how-to-be-poor-in-america/

My Youtube to webpage toy is already paying dividends.

1/2 “Beautifully surprising” to whom, exactly? How many studies and experiments do we need before we can just make this standard policy??

If I were homeless and couldn’t afford to eat regularly, and if some kind stranger gave me a few dollars, that wouldn’t be nearly enough to change my circumstances. So yeah, I might spend it on some drugs to help me feel some temporary relief from hunger pangs and the constant beatdown of life in this harsh society. But if I received enough money to get a room that isn’t infested with vermin and enough to know I could eat for the next month? THAT might help me get on my feet.

Desperate people do desperate things. Less desperate people do fewer desperate things. It’s so simple.
