what if we kissed in the smouldering ruins of the ruling class

This is really cool! A paper from Italy rmdopen.bmj.com/content/11/2/e
has found that people with Long COVID (C and D) can be distinguished from healthy controls (A) and people who had COVID-19 infections but not Long COVID (B) by sticking patients' hands under microscopes and looking at the capillaries in the fingernail! Fast, cheap, easy, and useful!

Things changed since then: apparently not a damn thing?

This comic is 30 years old and evergreen.

On this 5th anniversary of his passing, I reflect on how America is such a different place before and after George Floyd's death.

Before, most white people claimed not to know how cops mistreat and kill us, as they demanded that cops do more of it.

Now, they still demand more of it, but with full knowledge.🤡

And again, don't try to "Red State, Blue State," this. Don't try to make it about Trump.

Biden killed any and all hope for lasting change after George Floyd. Biden demanded more killer cop units that don't work. Biden presided over the most murderous year in US policing history.

Boston has worse police racism than Birmingham Alabama.

That's not saying that Birmingham Alabama policing is good or equitable for Black people. That's saying that the bar is on the floor.

And white folk in the US know that it's on the floor. They know it's racist.

And most of them don't care.🤷🏿‍♂️

Most white Biden voters want to go back to an America where the government hurt Black people without consequence, but not white people.

But it's never going back.

That America is gone. We need a new path forward.

You can start caring about how Black people are treated, or share in our treatment.

I don't want an 'AI assisted life'.

I want trees, forests, wild plants and animals. I want to eat good food produced locally, with minimal environmental impact. I want a free society that works for everyone but especially those in need, not just a few billionaires. I want a life full of magic and wonder at the natural world. I want to live a good life alongside every living thing on the planet.

I do not want AI slop.

The vaccines never stopped the full body damage from C19. Going on six years of research makes that abundantly clear. Don’t waste my time with two party system propaganda.

I like this photo, it is actually featured in one of my books. I had to lie on the ground to create this intimate portrait. Sometimes I return home wet and muddy, twigs and moss in my hair, and that for me is a good day in the field.

Y'all—stop donating to Harvard. Just Stop.

Harvard has a $53 BILLION dollar endowment—the largest in the world.

THEY. WILL. BE. FINE.

If you want to donate money, donate to orgs defending immigrant rights & representing those the Trump regime has disappeared. Donate to reproductive rights orgs who provide women the critical healthcare they need. Donate to food banks as 1 in 6 Americans are food insecure.

Donating to the wealthiest University on Earth is not "resistance," it's just stupid.

Pond skaters look so wonderful when close up, the gold yellow edges and speckles were unexpected!

If they wanted to,

Congress could impeach or invoke the 25th

The Supreme Court could reverse his policies

The media could report his lies and illegality accurately

U.S. billionaires and corporations could stop funding and bribing him

They don't want to. The problem isn't him. It's them.

orwell was like 'All surveillance is bad... except when I’m the one doing it and handing over lists of suspected communists to British intelligence'
