Finally, a practical article about coronavirus transmission and ways to mitigate its spread - including best practices for staying healthy. (These are just excerpts.)
Also, this is the first I’ve read verification of aerosol / airborne COVID transmission - hugely important information.
TIME magazine article (free): X
Two articles referenced in this piece:
Oxford Academic journal article (free): “It Is Time to Address Airborne Transmission of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)”
Science Direct article (free): “Short-range airborne route dominates exposure of respiratory infection during close contact”
As someone who reads a lot of Pokemon fic, especially gameverse, I often find myself in the mood to read a certain character as the "protag", since we have cases where some characters are either the rival or the protagonist. And I'd love to be able to filter by that!
So I propose making a common tag convention on Ao3 that we could follow when writing and tagging fic. My ideas were something like "Protag Teru | Rei" or "Teru | Rei is the Protagonist". We could also have tags like "Rival Haruka | May" or "Haruka | May is the Rival".
Of course, there's no obligation to do so, but I think it would be a useful tag, especially for less common choices of protag/rival assignment. (And things like the secret third option of both characters being protags can be conveyed by tagging both!)

This is why I don’t tell 99% people im bisexual
I still really like Frog Wild. I think it's a neat episode.
But what if Meta Knight
You cant refuse what makes you human
its so unfortunate when different peoples neurodivergent traits clash horribly. like yes i totally understand that the man at the other table cant control his stimming and loud vocal tics and i think he deserves to have a nice day out at a restaraunt without judgement. however if i dont remove myself from the audible vicinity in the next 20 seconds i will explode.
you ever just sit and realise u can’t remember 80% of your childhood? like … what happened? who am i ..?
Just spreading awareness for my asexual friends
“We chose the term “asexual” to describe ourselves because both “celibate” and “anti-sexual” have connotations we wished to avoid: the first implies that one has sacrificed sexuality for some higher good, the second that sexuality is degrading or somehow inherently bad. “Asexual”, as we use it, does not mean “without sex” but “relating sexually to no one”. This does not, of course, exclude masturbation but implies that if one has sexual feelings they do not require another person for their expression. Asexuality is, simply, self-contained sexuality.”
— The Asexual Manifesto, Lisa Orlando and Barbara Getz, 1972
