.@kieraevebutler has done fantastic reporting on exactly the infiltration of mom's groups by Qanon and antivaxxers, weeks ago.
Here's a big piece from @kieraevebutler on how mom's groups are being infiltrated by Qanon and antivaxxers: motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
And here's a piece by @alibreland on the same phenomena, but on Zuckerberg's other cesspool, Instagram: motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
Here's a massive data project by @alibreland and @cynduja, tracking the spread: motherjones.com/politics/2020/…

Today, San Francisco has a thriving outdoor restaurant scene. And we’re putting it into deep freeze for a month. I hope the science supports this and it works.
We eat a lot of takeout even pre pandemic, but we’re going back to our protocol of April, doing whatever we can to support the neighborhood spots we most love/feel are key to fabric of area.
As with everything in this mess, it feels like responsible restaurants and diners are being punished for the actions of the irresponsible.

This is really cool if depressing for how long I'll have to wait. Interestingly it assumes that kids will be vaccinated before adults w/o risk factors (including jobs) even though there's no approval vaccine for kids...yet. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Evidently, I'm pretty close to the back of the line, which I'm fine with (rationally, anyway).
A parallel analysis would be how long before those at the end of the line can be comforted by the fact that we're approaching herd immunity if all those ahead of you get it.

70% of US pop is ~heard immunity. And also right around when I'd get it. (if this analysis holds)

I have tried a lot of masks. But these from Boden (kids and adults versions here) are my new faves for every day (ie not super high risk situations). Cute patterns, nose wires that keep your glasses from fogging, double ply material good fit. bodenusa.com/en-us/non-medi…
And they have kid sizes, other multi packs, more "manly" colors too: bodenusa.com/en-us/search?q…
We're going to be wearing these for another six months at least. Might as well step up the game/stocking stuffers.

1/ Since it's #GivingTuesday, and I've been asking folks to donate to @MotherJones, I thought I'd review my own donation history to various things/COVID causes this year. Honestly this year has been so haphazard, am I doing as much as I can/should?
2/ So for starters, I kept paying anyone I normally paid at least as much as what I normally paid them, whether I could take part in their services or not. So stylists, housekeepers, trainers, babysitters...all these sorta folks.
3/ In the doing at least a much as before territory: increased monthly donations to public media. Renewed all subs. Ditto schools/museums/dance companies. Local restaurants and bars via takeout, merch, employee donation funds. Bought ton of books, stamp, seeds, BIPOC goods...

1/ Hey guys, for #GivingTuesday I'm going to spend the day 1) Trying to nudge you to give to @MotherJones (Do that here: secure.motherjones.com/flex/mj/key/7L…) and 2) tracking my own year of giving in 2020. Here's a nice piece on the history of this day: motherjones.com/media/2020/11/…
2/ This year has seen enormous financial hardship for so many, huge gains for billionaires, and a lot of giving by ordinary people to help others and to shore up our creaky democracy. Journalism serves to both document efforts by others and expose the treachery to the system.
3/ As a non-profit, @MotherJones has always relied on donations and subscriptions to keep us doing the investigative journalism we need in the world. Image

I suck at things like sending holiday photocards to friends and family...but let's say i was capable of growth, which service would you, the far more capable person, recommend?
Why is nobody making a Fuck 2020 template
"Jingle Bells, Covid Smells" is a template I just saw.
