A dance organization I help run recently surveyed our community on what covid precautions they would like to see. Results: https://blog.bidadance.org/2022/11/covid-survey-results.html
The most surprising things to me was how pro-masking the respondents are, and also how uncontroversial requiring bivalent boosters is.
My mastodon instance isn't getting updates from other instances, but maybe this toot will fix it?

there's this one tumblr i follow that seems to simultaneously embrace and mock basic bro gamer culture
he'll post stuff about loving mountain dew and PC building and Fortnite plot developments and how he thinks the first 151 Pokémon are the only valid ones, but then every tenth post will be about, like, trans rights, or crunch culture, or how it's not political for POC to exist in a game and y'all are just racist, etc.
very occasionally he posts personal stuff, and i think i've put together that he's a gamer bro who's engaged to a trans woman from a different cultural background, and he's picking up values from her.
good for them tbh

the word 'bug' derives from middle english 'bugge', 'hobgoblin', as also in bugbear, bogeyman, and the welsh bwg. 'bugs bunny', glossed as 'goblin rabbit', is therefore most naturally understood as a continuation of the mischievous fairies of british folklore. in this essay

my own imperfect advice for interacting w homeless people, as sum1 who has been homeless and is surrounded by homeless ppl:
always acknowledge them if they talk to you, make every effort to understand them if there is a commumication barrier
if you see them repeatedly, get to know them by name, greet them when you pass, ask if theres anything they need, ask about their day. Be a good neighbour.
have boundaries and know what you are capable and willing to give.
