I'm just a goofy gay gargoyle being mediocre at a lot of things 🥰 Maybe I'll semi-escape capitalism through some of these somehow and get off the burnout train. Who knows! Author of memoir "Why Is This Gargoyle Talking to Me", coming soon in 2034 [Image alt included]
Variant of the spiderman pointing at each other meme. There's 7 spidermen in this picture all pointing at each other. Product design, advocacy (disabled + trans), sex work, art, writing, research, podcast. There's a police van in the back labeled "mental health". And some crates on the right that say "food sleep". The word coding is on the left of the picture, basically laying on the ground. On the bottom of the picture is the top half of a giant dogs head, with one ear inside out, eyes are staring. That's my dog.

me getting sick is (further) radicalizing me .. my job & all public vicinities should have air purification systems in place by now. It’s been 6 years. I refuse to live like this

I asked the doctor for a course of Xocova. The resistance I got was frustratingly intense. Claiming I was young and healthy, it’s mild now, etc. I pushed back and finally got it prescribed. Incredibly infuriating that doctors are pushing back on a post-exposure prophylaxis

There's at least 3 HLA alleles associated with elite control of HIV: B57, B27 and A29. I have HLA-B27 (along with family members) which also causes autoimmune disorders. The only thing I published on before leaving science over ableism and discrimination.

This was the theorized link but DNA work published in 2025 identifies the mutation is 6700-9000 years old (long before the Black Death) traced to 1 person in the Baltic Sea area and its assumed to have occurred in the shift to agrarianism (exposure to zoonotic pathogens). 1.

The author of End Times, Peter Turchin, predicted 2020 would be a year of instability. Based on thousands of years of civilizations rising and falling. He suggests the only way we get through this is to shut down the wealth pump - to lower income inequality.

It's 2026 and we do not seem to be headed in the right direction.. yet. No one knows what will happen next. I remain hopeful and committed to a liberatory future. xitter.cf/thecakelin/status/1822…

The author of End Times, Peter Turchin, predicted the 2020s would be chaotic. We have 1 main path towards stability in future decades, which is slowly increasing the relative wage. Otherwise rapidly impoverished elites become more violent. I believe we need UBI and soon.

But don’t forget, ppl who mask and advocate for clean air initiatives to protect themselves from illness and (further) disability are the “hysterical” ones not living in reality

If you’re still wearing a mask, thank you. Please know you’re not alone. Many of us still mask, test and isolate when sick. Being the lone masker can be difficult, but your long term health is worth it. As a high risk, immunocompromised person… I see and appreciate you.
