  • Since nobody has come out with it yet, I will: you are a bigot. Your views are bigoted. You think it is acceptable to dehumanize and discriminate against an already vulnerable minority because a sports competition might be different. You have decided that somebody doesn’t have a right to exist because there might be a tiny change to your favorite hobby. Are you truly this unempathetic?

    Would you like to know that the whole ‘they’re too strong’ excuse was the exact same thing they said about black men in sports? It is exactly the same playbook, and you are falling for it like a sucker.

    Grow up and fix yourself.





  • Unsolicited advice incoming!

    Green beans stir-fried with tofu or something are great. Could also try broccoli stir-fried; if you manage to cook them just enough that they still have some snap, they’re great.

    Asparagus painted with butter, grilled, then served with lemon juice squeezed over them are heavenly.

    Spinach I only like fresh so I sympathize.



  • Not an expert, but work in a hospital: I’ve always been told to ditch the disposals after a shift as the moist environment is a concern for bacteria. Definitely don’t reuse them.

    Cloth masks are less effective, so probably don’t use them in a high-risk environment. If you do, probably wash them after each use for the same reason as above.

    As far as environmental concerns: I promise you that a single hospital visit generates an order of magnitude more waste than any amount of masking will. It’s fine.












  • China limits social media because they repress free speech and political association. TikTok and other social media was a huge part of why there was such an outcry over the invasion of Ukraine and the genocide in Gaza. They doubly limit what kids can see because students are often hugely influential in political activism - especially in China, where students were an integral part of both the revolution(s) and Tiananmen Square. China’s gov is pants-shittingly terrified of another student-led revolution/crisis/etc and keep a very close watch on what the kids are saying and seeing.
