This post is great, genuinely. People should want to mask for the sole purpose of protecting elderly, disabled, and immunocompromised people.

But it leaves out a very important reason which unfortunately matters more to most people I think, and that is: YOU are vulnerable to covid. Even if you don’t die, long covid is common, it’s miserable, and there are no approved treatments for it. Even if you don’t get long covid symptoms, there is almost certainly some form of long-term damage to your organs you just haven’t noticed.

If you enjoy being able to do things (or need to be able to do things to survive under the capitalist system we live in), if you enjoy not being in constant pain, hell, even if you just like not getting sick as often: wear a respirator in public.

Unpopular opinion: we should all wear masks as much as possible. Forever.

Immuno compromised people were in danger long before 2019. How many people could we have saved, just by masking?

Seriously. Disabled people deserve to live without fear.

We never know if we're carrying a disease or not, since most symptoms only show up after we're contagious.

Very useful in a world with cameras everywhere.

Even if your masking is not perfect, it is still better than nothing. Every step, even the smallest ones, is another layer of protection for immuno compromised people.

Wouldn't it feel good to save a life by doing something so simple?

Thank you and goodnight!

Edit: this is about all mask preventable disease, not just covid.

Little Women adaptions somehow gather the most popular actors for every era one’s made. Who sold their soul for that?

Heɑɗcɑƞσƞs :

I'm debating hard now if I should scrap the idea of McCullum being on the Western Front. At least as a soldier on their command. Which the more I think on it, the more I would think if he was over there ?? He wouldn't be there with a unit at all. He'd be over there unofficially. I have a small verse set to that… may keep it. For some alternative. It wouldn't make sense on him being over in the Western Front officially, anyway. McCullum, being an orphan. Would probably have missing papers. Regardless if Eldritch tried to correct that system or not. So the verse I have of that, would be more toward unofficial business and reconnaissance. He'd be posing as someone else more or less. Perhaps asked by an informant that suspected vampiric activity interfering with the war. Maybe hunting a vampiric war General who was completely obliterating allied troops ? One that could turn the tides on a important battle, etc. But he'd also be in and out after the deed was done. He wouldn't be tethered to the war as a whole. So I may keep it for that particular aspect. But for his main focus ?? I'm leaning heavily on default in having him stay in Ireland for the most half of Easter Rising, and may have even been part of it in one way or another. That the political movement was so massive and constant -- whilst rampant prejudices were always in his face, or lie witness to the brutality his countrymen endured on a day to day basis. He'd feel none other than deep compelling to get involved. Which is why there is a line in game that I hardcore link to this , between two Priwen soldiers that states he had been off on his own agenda for some time. Subtly insinuative it being solo and perhaps non Priwen business. That he just got back in England a few nights ago, which would pin it to the time frame of the day/night of Reid's rebirth and Mary's first death. Another headcanon of mine , and one undoubtedly linked, was he had in fact been with his men on that particular patrol. The more I listen to the background noise on the beginning of the game the more I am convinced that it isn't just a headcanon, but pure canon. The line in question , " Kill it, boy ! " Not only does it sound like Ben Peel, but it is treated with such cadence and authority -- that to me, it could only be matched to McCullum. .. and I'm running with that.

Veeeeeeeeeeeery tempting.

Kontext - "100%" dropped 5 years ago today: Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud

Although it's a very personal track, talking about not giving a fuck, but with a deep undertone of nihilism and despair...

The reason I chose to release it on 24 February 2018 is not coincidental. It was the 100th anniversary of the Estonian Declaration of Independence. By releasing this song on that day, I also signalled how much I don't care about something as insignificant as that.

Shortly after the declaration of independence in 1918, it fell under the rule of a communist union anyway, as it did again after the Restoration of Independence in 1991.

Having no real independence, celebrating such a holiday seems utterly inappropriate.

[ziparumpazoo]

It’s important to remember than not all large trees are old and not all old trees are large. Both species and climate (not just climate change) also dictates the lifespan of the tree. Northern boreal forest trees like black spruce. white spruce, tamarack, and jack pine, when left alone, have lifespans of around 150-200 years though their average height is only around 50-72feet/15-22m, because of shorter growing seasons, drier growing conditions, and natural events like wind and fires that cull weaker trees. (fire is essential for jack pines to propagate because they need temperatures above 140F/60C for them to release their seeds from their cones). The last time this area had conditions favorable to producing old growth redwood-sized trees was several million years ago.

Absolutely we need to do everything we can to manage and protect old and new growth forests, but we also need the the diversity of species being planted in the right environments to ensure their best chance of survival. Some of us didn’t have mega trees taken away from us - we never had them in the first place.

[fatehbaz]

[A]nti-homeless laws [...] rooted in European anti-vagrancy laws were adapted across parts of the Japanese empire [...] at the turn of the 20th century. [...] [C]riminalising ideas transferred from anti-vagrancy statutes into [contemporary] welfare systems. [...] [W]elfare and border control systems - substantively shaped by imperial aversions to racialised ideas of uncivilised vagrants - mutually served as a transnational legal architecture [...] [leading to] [t]oday's modern divides between homeless persons, migrants, and refugees [...].

---

By the Boer Wars (1880–1902), Euro-American powers and settler-colonial governments professed anxieties about White degeneration and the so-called “Yellow Peril” alongside other existential threats to White supremacy [...]. Japan [...] validated the creation of transnational racial hierarchies as it sought to elevate its own global standing [...]. [O]ne key legal instrument for achieving such racialised orders was the vagrancy concept, rooted in vagrancy laws that originated in Europe and proliferated globally through imperial-colonial conquest [...].

[A]nti-vagrancy regulation [...] shaped public thinking around homelessness [...]. Such laws were applied as a “criminal making device” (Kimber 2013:544) and "catch-all detention rationale" (Agee 2018:1659) targeting persons deemed threats for their supposedly transgressive or "wayward interiority" (Nicolazzo 2014:339) measured against raced, gendered, ableist, and classed norms [...]. Through the mid-20th century, vagrancy laws were aggressively used to control migration [and] encourage labour [...]. As vagrancy laws fell out of favour, [...] a "vagrancy concept" nonetheless thrived in welfare systems that similarly meted out punishment for ostensible vagrant-like qualities [...], [which] helps explain why particular discourses about the mobile poor have persisted to date [...].

---

During high imperialism (1870–1914), European, American, and Japanese empires expanded rapidly, aided by technologies like steam and electricity. The Boer Wars and Japan's ascent to Great Power status each profoundly influenced trans-imperial dynamics, hardening Euro-American concerns regarding a perceived deterioration of the White race. [...] Through the 1870s [...] the [Japanese] government introduced modern police forces and a centralised koseki register to monitor spatial movement. The koseki register, which recorded geographic origins, also served as a tool for marking racialised groups including Ainu, Burakumin, Chinese, [...] and Korean subjects across Japan's empire [...]. The 1880 Penal Code contained Japan's first anti-vagrancy statute, based on French models [...]. Tokyo's Governor Matsuda, known for introducing geographic segregation of the rich and poor, expressed concern around 1882 for kichinyado (daily lodgings), which he identified as “den[s] for people without fixed employment or [koseki] registration” [...].

Attention to “vagrant foreigners” (furō-gaikokujin) emerged in Japanese media and politics in the mid-1890s. It stemmed directly from contemporary British debates over immigration restrictions targeting predominantly Jewish “destitute aliens” [...].

The 1896 Landing Regulation for Qing Nationals barred entry of “people without fixed employment” and “Chinese labourers” [...], justified as essential "for maintaining public peace and morals" in legal documents [...]. Notably, prohibitions against Chinese labourers were repeatedly modified at the British consulate's behest through 1899 to ensure more workers for [the British-affiliated plantation] tea industry. [...]

---

Simultaneously, new welfaristic measures emerged alongside such punitive anti-vagrancy statutes. [...] Such border control regulations were eventually standardised in Japan's first immigration law, the 1918 Foreigners’ Entry Order. [...] This turn towards instituting racialised territorial boundaries should be understood in light of empire's concurrent welfarist turn [...]. Japanese administration established a quasi-carceral workhouse system in 1906 [in colonized territory of East Asia] [...] which sentenced [...] vagrants to years in workhouses. This law still treated vagrancy as illegal, but touted its remedy of compulsory labour as welfaristic. [...] This welfarist tum led to a proliferation of state-run programmes [...] connecting [lower classes] to employment. Therein, the vagrancy concept became operative in sorting between subjects deemed deserving, or undeserving, of aid. Effectively, surveillance practices in welfare systems mobilised the vagrancy concept to, firstly, justify supportive assistance and labour protections centring able-bodied, and especially married, Japanese men deemed “willing to work” and, secondly, withhold protections from racialised persons for their perceived waywardness [...] as contemporaneous Burakumin, Korean, and Ainu movements frequently protested [...]. [D]uring the American occupation (1945–1952), not only were anti-vagrancy statutes reinstituted in Japan's 1948 Minor Offences Act, but [...] the 1946 Livelihood Protection Act (Article 2) excluded “people unwilling to work or lazy” from social insurance coverage [...].

---

Imperial expansion relied on not only claiming new markets and territories, but also using borders as places for negotiating legal powers and personhood [...]. Japan [...] integrated Euro-American ideas and practices attached to extraterritorial governance, like exceptionalism and legal immunity, into its legal systems. [...] (Importantly, because supportive systems [welfare], like punitive ones, were racialised to differentially regulate mobilities according to racial-ethic hierarchies, they were not universally beneficial to all eligible subjects.) [...]

At the turn of the century, imperialism and industrial capitalism had co-produced new transnational mobilities [which induced mass movements of poor and newly displaced people seeking income] [...]. These mobilities - unlike those celebrated in imperial travel writing - conflicted with racist imaginaries of who should possess freedom of movement, thereby triggering racialised concerns over vagrancy [...]. In both Euro-American and Japanese contexts, [...] racialised “lawless” Others (readily associated with vagrancy) were treated as threats to “public order” and “public peace and morals”. [...] Early 20th century discourse about vagrants, undesirable aliens, and “vagrant foreigners” [...] produced [...] "new categories of [illegal] people" [...] that cast particular people outside of systems of state aid and protection. [...] [P]ractices of illegalisation impress upon people, “the constant threat of removal, of being coercively forced out and physically removed [...] … an expulsion from life and living itself”.

Temporary states during the Russian Civil War (1917–1922)

Anders Kvernberg (Oslo, 2018)

via cartesdhistoire

The Russian civil war (Oct. 1917-summer 1922) pitted Reds (communists), Whites (tsarists led by Wrangel, Kolchak, Denikin, Yudenitch) & Greens (armies of peasants facing Whites & Reds) against each other. In this chaos, many states have a brief independent life.

The largest is the Far Eastern Republic, a Bolshevik puppet state (from which Green Ukraine seceded). The smallest are the Republic of Perloja, limited to a Lithuanian village, presided over by a veteran of the Tsarist army, & the Soviet Republic of Naissaar, proclaimed in a fort on an Estonian island in December. 1917 by 82 Bolshevik sailors (hunted by the Germans on February 24, 1918).

The German occupiers signed a first treaty in Brest-Litovsk on February 9. 1918 with Ukraine then a second on March 3 with the Bolsheviks. Germany seizes Poland, Lithuania & Courland while Finland, Estonia, Latvia & Ukraine become independent under German control.

The Ukrainian People's Republic (non-Bolshevik), autonomous since the spring of 1917, was overthrown by the coup d'état of the conservative general Skoropadsky. With German support, he established the Hetmanate (April–Dec. 1918) and was then ousted from power during an uprising led by Simon Petliura & his (non-Bolshevik) Ukrainian People's Army. The Ukrainian republic was restored until 1921, not without first having to fight the libertarian Ukraine (or Makhnovshchina), a revolutionary peasant movement led by Nestor Makhno, who capitulated to the Bolsheviks in August 1921. Other states on Ukrainian territory are the Bolshevik Republic of Odessa, the Lemko Republic, the Komańcza Republic (or Eastern Lemko Republic) & the Hutsul Republic. At the same time, in the east of Ukraine, the anti-Bolshevik Don Cossack Republic was formed.

No state survived the creation of the USSR on December 30. 1922.

Rita Hayworth (born Margarita Carmen Cansino; October 17, 1918 – May 14, 1987) was an American actress, dancer, and pin-up girl. She achieved fame in the 1940s as one of the top stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood, and appeared in 61 films in total over 37 years. The press coined the term "The Love Goddess" to describe Hayworth, after she had become the most glamorous screen idol of the 1940s. She was the top pin-up girl for GIs during World War II.

Hayworth is perhaps best known for her performance in the 1946 film noir Gilda, opposite Glenn Ford, in which she played the femme fatale in her first major dramatic role. She is also known for her performances in Only Angels Have Wings (1939), The Strawberry Blonde (1941), Blood and Sand (1941), The Lady from Shanghai (1947), Pal Joey (1957), and Separate Tables (1958). Fred Astaire, with whom she made two films, You'll Never Get Rich (1941) and You Were Never Lovelier (1942), once called her his favorite dance partner. She also starred in the Technicolor musical Cover Girl (1944), with Gene Kelly. She is listed as one of the top 25 female motion picture stars of all time in the American Film Institute's survey, AFI's 100 Years...100 Stars.

Hayworth was a top glamour girl in the 1940s, a pin-up girl for military servicemen and a beauty icon for women. At 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m) and 120 lb (54 kg), she was tall enough to be a concern for dancing partners such as Fred Astaire. She reportedly changed her hair color eight times in eight movies.

In 1949, Hayworth's lips were voted best in the world by the Artists League of America. She had a modeling contract with Max Factor to promote its Tru-Color lipsticks and Pan-Stik make-up.

For her contribution to the motion picture industry, Hayworth received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1645 Vine Street in 1960.

In 1980, Hayworth was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, which contributed to her death in 1987 at age 68. The public disclosure and discussion of her illness drew attention to Alzheimer's, and helped to increase public and private funding for research into the disease.

The public disclosure and discussion of Hayworth's illness drew international attention to Alzheimer's disease, which was little known at the time, and it helped to greatly increase federal funding for Alzheimer's research.

The Rita Hayworth Gala, a benefit for the Alzheimer's Association, is held annually in Chicago and New York City. The program was founded in 1985 by Princess Yasmin Aga Khan, in honor of her mother. She is the hostess for the events and is a major sponsor of Alzheimer's disease charities and awareness programs. As of August 2017, a total of more than $72 million had been raised through events in Chicago, New York, and Palm Beach, Florida.

On October 17, 2016, a press release from the Springer Associates Public Relations Agency announced that Rita Hayworth's former manager and friend, Budd Burton Moss, initiated a campaign to solicit the United States Postal Service to issue a commemorative stamp featuring Hayworth. Springer Associates also announced that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would be lobbied in hopes of having an honorary Academy Award issued in memory of Hayworth. The press release added that Hayworth's daughter, Princess Yasmin Aga Khan, the Alzheimer's Association of Greater Los Angeles, and numerous prominent personalities of stage and screen were supporting the Moss campaign. The press release stated the target date for fulfillment of the stamp and Academy Award to be on October 17, 2018, the centennial of Hayworth's birth.

For anyone who wants Steve's canon accurate ages throughout the infinity saga I got some important dates written out here.

'¢' in this context will symbolise he is yet to have his birthday for that year. (Ex. Steve was 93 in avengers, later that same year he turns 94)

Both his biological age and his literal age have been put on the timeline here. Biological being his age, excluding his years that was lived in the ice.

Born 1918.

1918 - bio 18 - Steve's mother dies

1943 - bio 25 - Takes the serum

1945 - ¢ bio 26 - Steve goes into ice

2011 - ¢ bio 26 - 92 - Wakes up modern era

2012 - ¢ bio 27 - 93 - Avengers

2014 - ¢ bio 29 - 95 - CATWS

2016 - ¢ bio 31 - 97 - CAWS

2018 - ¢ bio 33 - 99 - Avengers Infinity War

2023 - bio 39 - 105 - Avengers Endgame

Now Steve goes back in time to be with Peggy in 1949. Just adding 74 years onto his age would leave me with bio 113 but in the actual canon he's supposedly bio 112 so I just assume that with some weird time travel magic he lost a birthday in the mix of it all.

2023 - bio 112 - 173 - Old ass steve

On this day, 31 December 1918 radical labour activist, lesbian, and abortion provider, Marie Equi was found guilty of sedition in the United States under a newly amended Espionage Act after, during a rally, she unfurled a large banner reading, “Prepare to die, workingmen, J.P.
