'Pandemic' seems to be a very scary word to most mainly due to its association with things like the Spanish Flu Pandemic or the Black Death, but Pandemics are fairly common and only require an outbreak of a disease to affect multiple continents.

In fact we are currently experiencing multiple pandemics, such as the HIV pandemic which never ended, The Zika Virus Pandemic, and the current Chinese Pneumonia/2019-Noval Coronavirus.

Just because something has become a pandemic doesn't make it immediately apocalyptically bad, though still very bad it in most cases won't be super visible to most people.

Patriarchy isn't just when it's overt.

It's when a guy does something that makes others uncomfortable because they think it's funny.

And no one says anything. No guys in charge say *anything*

Allowing the *joke* to still be funny to the guy tormenting everyone else.

Causing everyone who was protesting to now be people "who just don't get jokes" instead of victims of someone being an ass.

Perpetuating the idea that those NOT funny *jokes* are okay and wanted.

Fuck the patriarchy.

Oh.. ? "Much to my surprise, we found that, even though we know that Native Americans were in New England for at least 14,000 years with, at certain times in history, fairly large population densities, the ecological signal was essentially invisible," said Chilton. "If one did not know there had been humans on the landscape, it would be almost impossible to detect them on a regional scale."

I literally had eco-fascists screaming the opposite at me just a week ago.

Asking for a set of friends: where do AMAB folks in the UK get feminizing HRT meds when they don't yet have a prescription?

Boosts welcome cuz kinda urgent -- they have 6 days' worth of regular dosage left, 12 if they skimp... and there's probably going to be delivery time on top of that...

@thufie what is the deal with syria? do u like wearing bras,

The fact that people consider water something to make money from should be sickening to everyone. And yet, selling water in disposable bottles made from petrochemicals is so normalised, most people don’t even think twice about it. It’s so wrong.

the "we need to be ableist and anti-immigrant in order to appeal to the worker" part of the left is 100% the most classist part of the left, in addition to all of its other obvious bigotries

This isn't just for fun, it's also useful for #accessibility reasons - you have the bootloader beep when it's ready and then beep again when it starts booting up the OS - keeping blind users informed of where their computer is in the boot up process.
