So much is being destroyed because people don’t have the strength of character to risk being seen as weird by people actively committing genocide.
Wear a fucking mask, Jesus Christ.
I just started watching The Hunting Wives and I can’t tell if I hate it or it’s the trashiest thing I like.

This is why you should wear a mask. Because this is how former friends, colleagues and employers will speak about you when a virus disables you and you no longer have any social, cultural or labor value to extract. Sick, alienated capitalist society
Draymond Green on Kristaps Porzingis:
"No one’s sitting around bashing this guy or even worried about him, for that matter. In our minds, we’ve moved forward with the players that we have here... you can’t sit and worry about spoiled milk.”

When I had Covid in 2024 I mentioned metformin to hospital staff and they LAUGHED at me and said “that’s diabetes medicine and is not ever provided for Covid I haven’t heard of that that’s not true” and I just stared at them blankly, knowing how deeply wrong they were.
Metformin given within a week of COVID-19 slashes risk of long COVID, death by 53%, paper notes
If replicated in clinical trials, the observational findings could inform ways to prevent the lingering consequences of infection.

In 2022, @AbdulElSayed wrote an opinion piece about Long Covid and the importance of continuing to address it long after the emergency phase of the pandemic.

“One of the more striking aspects of the pandemic is just how unwilling we’ve been to engage in the collective interventions that could mitigate it. Whether it’s wearing a mask… too many of us have been unwilling to sacrifice our individual choice for the collective well-being.”

It would be so cool if we could someday be like “remember those two years we let the most cruel, evil people run the country?” I know things are complex & difficult, but the change in the air feels big.

Trying to stay alive for the day people realize the disease that’s kept me homebound and mostly bedbound for 2+ years now is actually real and bad

1. The bottom line: SARS-CoV-2 only emerged in late 2019. No-one can know the long-term effects of repeated infections, but with anosmia and cognitive dysfunction as common symptoms, the assumption I make is that there is a tsunami of early-onset neurocognitive diseases coming.

'Tis the season, once again, where every podcaster, youtuber, tiktoker, content creator is starting their content with "I am soooo sick" and BOY, am I over it! Wear a mask, ya dingdongs. Didn't anyone ever tell you sickness isn't inevitable!?

Yeah did all that, got infected with SARS-CoV2 & I had to kiss all those ‘gains’ goodbye. Wear a respirator & you might have a fighting chance.

The Olympic sprinter now bedbound 22 hours a day with ME following COVID says she’s fortunate as she’s never met anyone who hasn’t believed in her illness, due to her athleticism prior to falling sick. Clearly, she hasn’t met @awgaffney and @nataliesurely yet!
I’m having the kind of good day that makes me think maybe I’m cured and can just do whatever I want.
(I’ll still rest because this is not my first rodeo, but ya know… this disease can be so deceptive!)

There’s an article in Time today about how to deal with coworkers showing up sick and the anxiety of “breathing the same air as them” meanwhile the second someone wears a mask it’s an all day punch down fest about how they’re crazy and have OCD make it make sense
"Your colleague has a fever. They make all of this clear as they sit down next to you in that stuffy conference room with a door someone has helpfully just closed. You're concerned about spending the next hour breathing the same air. What can you politely say?"
