homophobia, important 

Please keep an eye out for people trying to brand monkeypox as a "gay disease", explicit or otherwise, and push back hard and early!

I've already started seeing the same kind of "the damn gays fucking everywhere" rhetoric that also popped up during the first years of the AIDS epidemic in the US. That rhetoric was directly responsible for (tens of?) thousands of deaths.

We absolutely *cannot* afford to let homophobes gain control over the public narrative around monkeypox, and let them use it to once again kill queer folks by denying them crucially important healthcare. :boosts_ok_gay:

@Anke I know plenty of stores that "forgot" to take down their masking and sanitation mandate notices up here, it's good

@amberage@eldritch.cafe I'm currently doing the former because I'm at an ER and the hospital staff have enough problems already including technical malfunctions after a storm, but damn if it isn't draining

That said I'm ever grateful to those who can get my file and use the correct name

Our house of neurodivergent people has found a thing useful: when approaching someone and not sure if they are in a conversational headspace, just say “engage?” as in is it ok to engage with you now, no problem either way just nod or shake head or say no. It’s minimal interruption and there’s no judgement either way.

What do I want?

Sleep!

When do I want it?

Five hours ago!

@rezzish nice! I was thinking it could've made a nice enough emulation machine for someone but steam link would also make good sense

There's an obvious selection bias cause you're still here to read this, anyway.

Just, we've all had the welcome wagon out and the fediverse has been praising itself a lot. But like, I dunno. Curious how it's sitting with y'all on a personal basis

Well, I have my doctor's orders to go to the ER if I develop a fever or the pain worsens significantly so I guess I'll just keep that in mind

Feeling kind of shaky and queasy tonight... hope it's just a passing thing, and not the pain around my kidney being a worsening infection... My doctor's appointment can't come soon enough x_x

@DarkOverord Right? I was very tempted to get out the tone brushes and throw something together of Elfi using CMYK blends, but I also haven't been feeling well enough to put forth the effort
