articles are like "the economic cost of long covid is too high, we need a cure!!!"

i mean a cure would be rad but we already know how to prevent long covid:

1. vaccination
2. ventilation & filtration
3. masking

society is currently so disinterested in the ramifications of long covid we can't even be bothered to prevent long covid using cheap and effective methods

Best. Birthday. Cake. Ever.

Thanks @shieladixon 🎂🥳

Computer touchers building a thing without asking the target audience, Level 999 S-Rank edition: "Hey arcade operators, I made a payment app to replace coin doors, 'cause surely it kinda sucks how you have to do all your own bookkeeping manually like that."

Turner Pinball: 🐩 Hey arcade operators, what's the worst part of your job?

🐩 the CASH BUCKET, right!
🦝 no
🐩 now imagine, if you will, if you didn't have to deal with BUCKETS of MONEY anymore
🦝 what, no
🐩 well what if we told you, our vision for the future: where nobody has to deal with the distasteful sight of an ACTUAL, LITERAL, BUCKET, of IMMEDIATELY SPENDABLE, UNTRACEABLE CASH

Support trans women. That includes the woman from the hood. The loud one.The sexworker. The dropout. The one whose hair aint laid and outfit ain't always on point. The one with clear mental health issues. The one with nowhere to go. Not just the models, writers, and public figures.

Another UC Davis development program for grad students that is only offered in-person during a pandemic, masks not mandated. In fact, masks are sure to be off because food is included.

When people react like disabled students are "cheating" by getting their access needs met, remember all the education/research/career opportunities disabled students weren't even considered part of the intended audience. @academicchatter @disability

Two things that happened this week:
- YouTube started banning the use of ad blockers
- Google was found serving ads with malware

Official number notation for Rotterdam. I always knew that my dash in the 7 is worth the extra pen stroke.

You're telling me that being agile is constantly prioritizing new stuff while pushing maintaining old stuff into the backlog and then being surprised when things break like there's some kind of mysterious energy at play here I'm absolutely shocked I tell you

You don't need a reason to want to block adverts.

It doesn't have to be for security reasons (although there are good security reasons).

You don't have to do it because you want to lessen online surveillance (although that's a good thing too).

You can do it just because you don't want someone trying to sell you something the whole damn time, getting up in your face and interrupting your reading/viewing.

You can block ads because it's simply a form of self-care.

"there is no evidence that gender assessments can reliably predict or prevent regret better than self-reported gender identity and embodiment goals. This conclusion provides additional support for informed consent models of care, which deemphasize gender assessments in favor of supporting patient decision making."
