Mention executive dysfunction, oral hygiene, dental health 

I have a question for other folks who struggle with executive dysfunction and/or low spoons

I have talked to my therapist about it and I am struggling to make myself brush my teeth

Like I sometimes think about it all day
But I just can't seem to make myself stop to do it

And like, I actually don't mind the sensation
And I've bought oral hygiene supplies that I like

What else can I do?
Anything?

dementia and Biden “jokes” 

Y’all don’t need to constantly make sundowning/dementia jokes about Biden at the slightest hint of a stutter or whatever. Having to watch family members slowly forget you isn’t a cool joke you need to remind ur friends of going through for a sick own on the libs.

Learning that people suffering from the storm and blackout in Texas were using the guide in our book Recipes for Disaster to build a rocketstove with which to heat food and water, we've put the directions online here in their entirety:

cwc.im/rocketstove

Please circulate.

PSA, txpol 

Please remember that due of the decision of ERCOT and our state government, that this stuff is affecting the worst off of us more than the rich. Think about that before you decide to start mocking texans. Please. And maybe consider redirecting that mockery towards anger at a government we have no say in and capitalists' incessant need for profits above all else.

re: COVID hot take, subtoot 

And, again, this is not to say you shouldn't wear an N95 or better. Properly fit-tested and all that, they will help you avoid becoming ill. If the output is also filtered, then they keep you and everyone else safe. This is also not to say masks are an end-all-be-all to stopping COVID. Social distance, stay home, etc., etc. But please also wear *something* over your mouth and nose!

COVID hot take, subtoot 

And if you are relaying the first part of that *without* relaying the second part, you're just as bad as anyone out there not wearing a mask. Yes, individually, cloth masks are not protective. But cloth masks do have a fucking protective effect over a group. In particular, they absolutely have a protective effect when a sick person wears one, an effect only made more helpful when *everyone* wears one.

COVID hot take 

A normal cloth mask will not protect you. If you want to protect yourself, you need a proper N95 or better respirator.

This does *not* mean you should not wear a normal cloth mask. If your choice is a cloth mask or nothing, WEAR THE GOD DAMNED CLOTH MASK. THE FUCKING THINGS WORK AS A GOD DAMN GROUP EFFORT.

Seriously, we could have had this fucking pandemic under control if everyone had just worn the god damn masks in the first place.

dear manufacturers of anything that has LEDs:

stop making the LEDs painfully bright, painfully blue, and painfully always-on

some people like to put things in the same place they sleep, and when your damn LED is always on, it makes it hard to sleep

The eighth annual international Gender Census 2021 is now open until 10th March!

smartsurvey.co.uk/s/gendercens

It's for anyone whose genders (or lack thereof) aren't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and the results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.
