How to respond to a vehicular terrorist
So I'm a New York City based street medic and in light of the fact that automobiles seen to have become the fascist terrorist's weapon of choice at demonstrations I though it would be a good idea to talk about what you can do to in the event that you find yourself in this horrific situation. At the very least, having a plan will help keep panic down.
You should practice these skills.

Homophobia, ableism
The etymology of "gunsel" is actually really amusing, due to het and gentile obliviousness.
Homophobia, ableism
I was listening to a podcast that included a clip from "The Maltese Falcon": Peter Lorre just hysterically screaming.
As soon as I heard it, I knew this was the whole of John K's vocal performance as Ren.
Now, John is 1) a huge homophobe and 2) strongly identifies with Ren.
But Peter Lorre's character in the film is explicitly a gay dude. A "gunsel".
And this big gross homophobe decided he was gonna give his self-insert fursona the voice of a gay character...

HIV prevention PSA (tldr you can get PrEP for FREE)
if your reason for not being on PrEP (the pre-exposure prophylactic medicine that almost entirely prevents HIV from taking root in your body) is that it's too expensive, you should be aware that you are entitled to receive it 100% FREE OF COST to you via Gilead's "Advancing Access" program. Not only that, it's so easy to sign up I literally did it in line at the pharmacy when they told me I'd have to pay $3k for my script pickup.
There is no reason for you to pay ANY MONEY for PrEP.

The WaPo’s got a piece up about how white Evangelical Christians are loving what they see in Trump. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/evangelicals-arent-turned-off-by-trumps-first-term--theyre-delighted-by-it/2019/08/11/3911bc88-a990-11e9-a3a6-ab670962db05_story.html
Celebrating harm to others and calling your motivation religion doesn’t get you a free pass in my book. If it takes a civil war to see that these people no longer have the power to harm the folks they’ve decided to hate, sign me up.

#Nordvpn and #ExpressVPN chose to do the right thing in the end and #isolateGab.
Best to reward eventual good choices with praise and business. Here is #Gab’s CEO complaining about the wrench in the works this caused.

I'm in tech and it feels weird.
