@lirazel @roland the flu (and RSV) can also be very serious, and the methods for reducing contagion are about the same for both so even if its *definitely* not covid, proceeding as if its covid is a very smart call imo

@pagrus wikipedia says spotify yeah :(

@lirazel you can always bait him into admitting it, and then turn the confession over to the FBI: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/jan-6-rioter-nabbed-bumble-dating-app-sting-pleads-guilty-assaulting-o-rcna130593

@Forestofglory welcome back!

@rowyn Miss Smoke! An excellent name

@cakefordogs are you specifically trying to avoid using queerplatonic for this?

@are0h not necessarily—the pardon only affects federal charges of possession and use (so not convictions on dealing/intent to distribute, and not state convictions) and the number of people currently in federal prison for possession is 0 and has been since at least the fall of 2022. There are many people who’ve been released but still have those convictions on their records where this removes a serious hindrance to their ability to find work, housing, etc and that may in turn have *some* impact on people being re-convicted due to shitty life situations but overall the prison population unfortunately isn’t changing much bc of this.

Would really love to see some state governors follow suit with this kind of move since there are a *lot* more people in state prisons for drug offenses. And obviously the laws themselves should be taken off the books as well, at both the federal and state level, and hopefully this helps build some political momentum towards doing that? But w/out doing either of those things its effect is seriously limited

@bogiperson buttondown email seems to be popular among authors i follow, and lets you send one email per day to up to a hundred users free (after that theres tiers based on number of subscribers but they still assume daily emails)

you might also want to consider RSS? I’m much more likely to actually read recs if there’s a public feed i can browse when i have time for reading, rather than whenever your email happens to show up in my inbox
