I am somewhat intoxicated
People literally all over the globe: Wearing a mask helps prevent the spread of Covid-19 since approximately 80% of infected people only get mild to no symptoms, and people are often still infectious during the pre-symptomatic incubation period spanning five to twelve days.
State epidemiologist Anders Tegnell, in charge of handling the Corona outbreak in Sweden: Actually ☺ there is no point in wearing masks 😋 because here in Sweden 😉 our strategy 😂 is staying at home when you're sick 😎 Anyway time to start opening the schools again 😃
In case you were wondering why Sweden has the highest coronavirus death rate per capita in the world.

a few years ago there was an exposé in the intercept about how, according to the fbi, police departments are so thoroughly infiltrated by white supremacists that it's policy to avoid working with them when possible. just something to think about
so direct action is not an option available to you. what can you do right now instead?
Be mindful of the content you’re putting on your social media accounts. Stop retweeting/reposting violent images and videos of black people dying. Know that content like this, even with trigger warnings included, can be very emotionally disturbing/distressing and yes, even traumatic, for black people navigating the internet right now.
Report any images and videos you see where protestors’ faces are visible/unblurred, particularly in content surrounding the lootings. Don’t retweet or repost these images and videos. This can be a death sentence.

HOW TO DONATE TO BLM WHEN YOU HAVE NO MONEY
a black woman named zoe amira posted a video on youtube. this video is an hour long and filled with art and music from black creators. it has a ton of ads, and in result will rack up a ton of revenue. 100% of the ad revenue from the video will be dispersed between various blm organizations, including bail-out funds for protesters. it will be split between the following, dependent on necessity
brooklyn bail fund

here's an article on metadata and how to remove it on your phone that was shared on twitter. always good and relevant information but especially for right now.
Just gotta get this out there; I really can't share with people's exitement about a Taika Waititi-directed Star Wars movie. I think he's great, but like, remember when Lord & Miller were fired by parted ways with Disney mid-filming because their version of Solo became "too comedic, too meta, too improv-heavy"? AKA, too "Lord & Miller? Like, these guys made 21 Jump Street, The Lego Movie, and went on to make Into the Spider-Verse! That's what their movies are like! AND, might I add, not too dissimilar from Waititi's directing style.
But no, I'm sure that Disney would be more than happy to give Taika Waititi free rein, and that his movie won't end up a written-by-committee, studio-interference-laden mess at best, or a completely different director's poor attempt at salvaging it into an unassuming and inoffensive tribute to our Disney-overlords at worst.

Just got some time off from being an Essential Worker™ and I managed to create a loaf of bread. This is my proudest achievement yet.

People who are in self quarantine really have no idea how weird it is to be a base level essential worker through this whole thing. I don’t mean a doctor or a nurse or someone else working round the clock to put a stop to it or find a cure. I mean a truck driver or a gas station attendant or a retail clerk. Because everything is basically normal, only a little bit off, and then again not as off as it should be.
Every day I get up. I go to work. I sell people things. There are fewer people coming through and they’re buying more because they’re stocking up or they haven’t been shopping in a month, but there are still lines, like always. There’s plexiglass between the cashiers and the customers, and no dividers, and we have to continually yell at people not to put their items on the belt until we’ve finished the previous transaction, and they ignore us or argue with us, same as always. The more rules we have, the more rules there are for people to ignore. And the longer it goes on, the more normal it gets. Pretty much no one thanks us for coming in to work anymore. People are starting to act like we should never, ever run out of an item. It’s just blanket assumed that we will have hand sanitizer and soap and toilet paper and people are shocked when we say we’re out. But there are still ads on the TV in the break room telling us all to stay home and the more the customers ignore social distancing, the more management puts pressure on us to set a good example, until we’re expected to follow standards that are physically impossible.
The longer this goes on, the less ‘essential’ I feel.
And then I come home and get online as always and there are all of these people asking what you’re doing while you’re stuck in quarantine and coming up with fun things to do when you’re in quarantine and talking about what you’re going to do when this whole thing is over and you can finally, finally leave your house. Everyone just seems to assume that you, the person reading their words, are in quarantine, because everyone’s in quarantine. It’s like this big, international, universal experience that you’re not a part of.
It feels like fifteen years from now everyone in the world will be looking at each other and asking “Remember what it was like to be cooped up in the house? Wasn’t it awful?” and I’ll just be sitting there going “…….no, I don’t. I didn’t do that.” And people will look at me and wonder how I could not know.
I've been living on my own away from my family for nearly three years now, and I've been completely fine, until today. I just made pancakes, and they came out exactly like how my dad used to make them, and I almost broke down in the kitchen.

Oh, I love this so much!
When the books mentioned The Brass Bridge over The Ankh, I just imagined some insignificant and decrepit arch over a measly little creek, the notion that is was a large heavy bridge over a genuine river genuinely never occurred to me.
Stuff that helps you better visualise a world you're already so invested in is my favourite aspect of fan communities, you'd never get this kind of shared experience from just reading alone.
