1985’s Back To The Future was first shown on British terrestrial TV on Christmas Day 1988. And a fairly big deal it was, with this colour Mick Brownfield illustration commissioned by the Radio Times listings mag for the event. (The movie had been out on video since β€˜86.) It was a different world.

Tabby and white cat between two couch cushions (back of couch) holding desperately onto the top despite the fact his feet can easily touch the butt cushions if he wanted them to. This is not staged, this cat is regularly getting himself into quandaries such as these.

Many good people are saying this, and a many people that like to think they are good keep ignoring the message.

Doubly for masking with nearly a half million studies to support us. If not ignoring, treating us like garbage so they can continue ignoring...

Three incredibly basic fucking things you can do to be down:

1) Alt text

2) Mask the fuck up

3) Direct mutual aid

We’d all been told throughout 2020-2021 that certain groups were β€˜high risk,’ & those at higher risk were still encouraged to mask when mandates were dropped.

First in that high risk group listing was people over 50. (1/7)
