According to a new study, up to 75% of adults have concealed an infectious disease from others in order not to miss work, travel, or social events. Unacceptable behavior. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/misc-emerging-topics/three-fourths-adults-have-hidden-infectious-illness-work-travel-or-socialize

Banks use your deposits to loan money to fossil-fuel, emissions-heavy firms

Your $1,000 in the bank creates emissions equal to a flight from NYC to Seattle.

This sprightly figurine was discovered in North Yorkshire and is thought to date to the Roman period.

While the body language is positive, the figure also wears a frown, so maybe their day isn’t going quite as they planned!

📸 West Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Service

@histodons

Description from the West Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Service: “A cast copper alloy anthropomorphic male figurine with an exaggerated phallus possibly dating from the Roman period. It is 66.26mm long, 18.1mm wide and 20.6mm thick. It weighs 60.04gm.The man wears an unusual hat of two, possibly three tiers, pointed at the front. This may be a depiction of a Phrygian cap with its point folded down and forwards. The small and worn face appears to be frowning. Only the nose and hollows for eyes are visible.”

    Free WaPo article:

    https://wapo.st/3RprHDf

    Evidence emerging in a criminal investigation into rape reveals that Bridget Ziegler, cofounder of the anti-LGBTQ+ group Moms for Liberty, admitted to engaging in a three-way sexual relationship with her husband and a unidentified woman. The unidentified woman claims that Christian Ziegler, the husband who just happens to be chair of the Florida GOP committee, raped her. Text messages showed the woman had arranged with the Zieglers to meet for a threesom. After Bridget had to cancel, the woman texted Christian back and called off the plans saying she was mainly in it for Bridget. Christian Ziegler then showed up unannounced at the unidentified woman's and according to her forcibly assaulted her. The woman later visited the emergency room and had a rape kit administered. A friend called 911 2 days later to report the woman hadn't shownup for work for two days in a row. No charges have been filed. Christian Ziegler's attorney says his client is innocent.

    It's hard to overstate how hostile and cruel the Zieglers have been to LGBTQ+ folks. Bridget is a member of the Sarasota County School Board. She has voted in favor of removing posters from school walls that have LGBTQ+ messages. She and other school board members have tolerated and in many cases made public comments referring to the only openly gay school board member as a predator looking to groom young kids with his LGBTQ+ support. Bridget was instrumental in helping DeSantis pass the don't say gay bill and was present when DeSantis signed the law. Bridget Ziegler has strongly supported new history guidelines that strictly limit the teaching of slavery and racism in this country.

    Christian and Bridget have three young children. The couple will tell anyone who will listen that they are devout Christians who live pius lives. They have both been vocal supporters of the DeSantis culture wars.

    It's hard to grasp the utter depravity and hypocrisy at work here, and once you do you want to scream until your eyeballs fall out. These two people have made it their life's work to humiliate and bully people who make choices they disagree with. And then in secret they slink around in a polyamorous relationship. And of course, there is the very real possibility that Christian raped somebody.

    If ever there was a symbol for just how cruel and morally bankrupt the whole DeSantis/Moms for Liberty platform is here you go.

    @GuyDudeman@beige.party avatar

    @26pglt @StrassenKatze @Susan60 @actuallyautistics These types of articles and posts make me feel like neurotypical people are trying to define themselves as neurodivergent merely to have an excuse to justify their completely normal anxiety about life and society… And maybe also to spur some sort of guilt-based sympathy from others. As if they don’t think people will sympathize with them unless they identify themselves as having some sort of neurodivergence or disability or chronic illness.

    It’s not neurodivergent to have anxiety. It’s not a disability to feel like an outsider. It’s not a chronic illness to have feelings.

    @Susan60 @26pglt @StrassenKatze @actuallyautistics I don’t think it’s on a whim. I just think that self-diagnosis of mental disorders is worthless, and we really need professionals and scientists to truly determine what our issues are. The brain cannot objectively self-analyze.

    @GuyDudeman@beige.party avatar

    @StrassenKatze @Susan60 @26pglt @actuallyautistics Dude, I’m just saying - the purpose of a wait list is to add people to it so they can wait. I’ve never even heard of wait lists being “closed”. And I live in America, where the healthcare system is a hellscape.

    I actually just changed my profile as a result of this conversation we’re having. I figure it’s best to be clear who I am, just like everyone else on Mastodon is.

    I am still here because I am honestly engaging in good faith. I have many family members on my wife’s side with Autism and who are on the spectrum.

    Periodic reminder that the "Direct Message" / "Private Mention" function here is dangerously broken with confusing semantics.

    • Anyone mentioned anywhere in the body of a PM gets a copy.

    • "Disabling" PMs in your profile merely means YOU never see messages sent to you; senders can still send them, with no error indication.

    • Nothing is encrypted, which means administrators on any instance that processes a message can see them.

    I strongly recommend using something else for private messages.

    People only expect it to work a certain way because the previously dominant system worked that way. This is a new system. There will be a learning curve.

    Terminology does need to be standardized, however.
