Hello BLUESKY

Why masks?

Because antivaxxers have brought us measles again.

Vaccines are excellent - if you are updated on them - but not 100%

We should have learned from COVID…

The phrase "from the river to the sea" doesn't connote a hypothetical genocide of Israelis. It describes the area in which Israel performed an actual (and ongoing) genocide of Palestinians.

A beautiful friend of mine in Gaza- Heba Zagout- has been killed along with 2 of her children this weekend 😭💔 She was a very talented artist, who wanted to travel and do shows. Now she has travelled to heaven instead 😥🙏

A truck with screens on the side is driving around Harvard, displaying the pictures of those who have expressed Palestinian solidarity, calling them "harvards leading antisemites," and displaying names, social media profiles.

This was one of the truly good things Twitter was ever useful for. Enabling people everywhere to describe the world as they see it as it is happening to them during disasters.

Ha, ha, omg, just looked on The Other Place and saw someone say that it's good the English can look at Israel/Palestine with an objective eye because we've never had any involvement there.
I really cannot stress enough how inadequate the history education in this country is.

And maybe this sounds mystical, but I think there's something about care taken with language that changes the receiver of it. And I think that applies not just to literary writing, but grant proposals and board reports and staff memos and blog posts.

Hard at work a troublesome essay here and, call me an old curmudgeon (many do 🤣) but I think all the ChatGPT business misses the point that often the writer figures out what she thinks by writing. At least this writer does. Yeah the product might help others but the process helps oneself.

What very few seem willing to acknowledge is that COVID is a mass-fatality event, and a mass-disabling event. There is a lot more people walking around with Long Covid than they realize.

The "Omicron is mild" message was a flat-out LIE. And it allowed all of this to happen. Also, telling people in March of 2021 that vaccines stopped infection pretty much destroyed NPIs or public education about the true long-term risks of the virus. It is heartbreaking and infuriating.

Short Covid is just Long Covid running a little late.

I think without the #LongCovid community, I honestly don't know where the hell I'd be. This is warrior-level resilience. It's taking the chaos that Long Covid throws and spitting it back out with a side of fierce determination.

To everyone: Y'all are the real MVPs.
