What she’s thinking: Wall-e spent days/weeks trying to approach EVE without seeming scary or predatory, more days/weeks worrying about her safety while she was dormant, and a trip across an entire galaxy just for the chance to try and hold her hand? And people still think it’s a straight movie???

holy shit i completely forgot about this?? there was a period of time where the only way someone could leave a reply on one of your posts was if you converted it from text to a whole different post type called Questions

I really really want every workplace to acknowledge the importance of ventilation. Every workplace I know has people full in sanitation theater mode wiping down every surface constantly meanwhile windows are closed and no one’s wearing masks correctly. The illusion of safety from seeing people cleaning constantly without actual safety is what is fucking me up. there’s so many people who don’t even realize how profoundly dangerous these environments are.
An article in the prestigious Science magazine found that there is “overwhelming evidence” that airborne transmission is a “major transmission route” for the coronavirus, and the CDC now notes
that, “under certain conditions, they seem to have infected others who
were more than six feet [two meters] away. These transmissions occurred
within enclosed spaces that had inadequate ventilation.
One of the big struggles of this pandemic has been virologists and epidemiologists trying to get recognition of the fact that the virus particles (in moisture from breath) are light enough to exist as an infectious aerosol that remains in the air for hours to days after it’s been breathed out unlessthe space is properly ventilated.
Your number one biggest risk of infection is inhaling unfiltered (unmasked) air that hasn’t been properly ventilated. The six feet rule is to allow the ventilation (or the wind) to work. If there isn’t anywhere for their breath to go, no clean air replacing it, you will get sick much more easily.
People’s breath is the most concentrated source of the virus right now. You’re much less likely to get sick from touching something they’ve touched (esp if you wash your hands often & don’t touch your face). Ventilate well to flush away all that breath, and wear a mask to filter out as much of the virus as possible.
