I think it's time for a (re)introduction! I've been an #antifascist guerrilla journalist/documentarian for 25 years. I now care for my partner who has #ME caused by Covid. Recently I've written a lot about #Covid, #ableism, and technology (see pinned posts). For the times we live in, I'm now finalising a three-parter on my website connecting #solarpunk, #municipalism, Murray Bookchin memes, the #Fediverse and #zines! I'm exploring possibilities of it becoming a zine itself. I also blog at my website if you'd like to subscribe (for free). I'm now the founder of @thepeoplestech@floss.social that intends to promote alternatives to Big Tech. I'm also developing a video series on how Covid has shown us capitalism and care cannot co-exist. Oh and I'm launching a pop culture zine called @bubblegumrebellion@retro.pizza if you're into that kind of thing (I'm very into #ComicBooks and #LuchaLibre!) #Introduction #Intro

Next #pandemic could be brewing on mink farm in #Utah; little being done to stop it
#Mink farms are perfect petri dishes for #deadly #flu strains to emerge
Could this be ground zero?
It’s a candidate, because chain of events to trigger #plague far worse than #Covid-19 looks like disaster film opening sequence. A really bad disaster movie

I voted and wore a mask cause I don’t want Democracy or me to face extinction.
🤣🤣🤣
(I didn’t wash my windshield because honestly if you wash it, you can just see the oncoming traffic and that’s just frightening)

COVID kills joy in people; scientists have discovered a new long-term consequence—the virus literally burns out dopamine receptors.
It affects the part of the brain responsible for motivation, happiness, and memory, and the sicker a person is, the worse the consequences.

Thank you for continuing to highlight the importance of wearing a mask (respirator)
Masking was important to us when I was the only one with a chronic illness, but now that my husband also has a chronic illness (different diagnosis) it's doubly important!
Adding a selfie (from a few years ago) of how I'll be greeting the trick or treaters at the door - double masking! 😷

WAHOO! I got my #Covid and #flu shots today at my doctor's office. I guess I should be grateful they had Pfizer because Moderna's higher mRNA dose always hits me like a bus. In any case, glad I got that out of the way.
They know from my records I don't have any underlying issues that make me high risk for hospitalization or death from Covid. They also know the current US "guidelines" are bullshit so they didn't even question it, just gave me the shots. 😂 👏🏼
