Rediscovering a History of Jewish Anarchism | Antidote Zine Handcrafted transcript, including presentation slides and images, of an information-rich March 2025 online event hosted by Firestorm Books exploring Joseph ...

The good folks at Antidote Zine have meticulously transcribed a wonderful event we did earlier this year after @akpress.org published "The Jewish Anarchist Movement in America." Featuring editor @kenyonz.bsky.social with guests Anna Elena Torres and @shaneburley.bsky.social!

If proper masking had been encouraged early on, millions of lives have been saved. It's a disgrace that 5 years into the covid pandemic, with everyone's immune systems weakened by repeated covid infections, public health agencies still aren't educating people about this...

In fact, here's a recent study of healthcare workers that proves just how efficient proper respirators are against covid and other respiratory illness jkms.org/DOIx.php?id=...
I know people who wear them consistently who have not been sick since 2020 ...

I've heard so many people tell me that masks don't work, or that they only work if the infected person wears one. While this is partly true of surgical masks (which are still much better than nothing) it's not the case of FFP2/FFP3 (KN95/N95 in the US) ...

The UKHSA is vaguely recommending wearing "face coverings" in "some situatuons" to help control the flu wave. What they fail to say is that this should not be any face covering but an FFP2/FFP3 respirator, which unlike cloth and surgical masks offer very high protection from respiratory infection ..

"I'll never let you go"

La bave du crapaud ne casse pas 3 pattes à un canard, hein?

Yeah I just posted that in another comment! @sacrederviche.bsky.social says it has entered the discourse tho

It's so good! I'm surprised it isn't better known, I'm not sure if there's a version with English subtitles?

It's from this cult film, which is made of clips from American movies en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Clas...

"Don't make me tap the sign"

I asked my husband if there is a French equivalent of "sticks and stones will break my bones" and he gave me "the toad's drool doesn't reach the white dove" and "the train of your insults is rolling on the rails of my indifference" and now I would like both of these on a t-shirt

Linking long Covid and AD(H)D through neuroimmune dysfunction: A translational framework proposal for precision medicine Martin Spanoghe " & EI, Tomaso Antonacci", Nicole Schneider a , Thomas H.J. Molmans https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0889159125004234

#COVID + 🧠 Pendant que la France s’acharne à considérer les symptômes du covid long comme des symptômes sortis du cu* des malades, les études montrent (again) que le COVID induit des perturbations neuro-immunes.

This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

AI-powered surveillance firms are gunning for a share of Gaza spoils The presence of Palantir and Dataminr at the new U.S. military compound in Israel offers a glimpse of how tech companies are cashing in on the genocide.

Yeah I've heard awful things about how they treat their workers, I only go there (or to any chain) when there's nothing else. Haven't been able to watch the whole video but from the first bit it looks like maybe it's their food that got shitter rather than my taste that got better!

Relatedly my French husband wrote a complaint to M and S this week about the quality of their bread. It was three paragraphs long and contained the sentence "what am I to do?" 💔

Living in France has ruined bread for me. I used to think of a Prêt sandwich as a fancy treat, now they sort of taste like towels? I've also lost the ability to say prêt à manger in an English accent so have to just avoid it or sound like a twat. Thoughts inspired by xmas sandwich season

Here's the international declaration mentioned in the article longcovidriseup.eu
This may be of interest to @greensagainstcovid.bsky.social, who I was really excited to learn exist this week (and hope to get involved with as a British citizen!)

Today in @lemonde.fr "The symptoms of Long Covid only make sense when they are linked to their cause"—i.e. the ongoing Covid pandemic and the proven damage that *preventable* covid infections do to several organ systems

@greenparty.org.uk is the one UK party in England and Wales that has policy on #Covid and #LongCovid and recognises the science of #transmission. We realise that more needs to be done. We're working on it.

Inside, the words I joined Greens Against Covid because as someone who was disabled by M.E, prior to Covid, I’ve been appalled to watch people with Long Covid be similarly abandoned, neglected and stigmatised by the government, the NHS and the wider public. I want people to be aware that we are living through a mass disabling event and that we must continue to put pressure on the government to make people aware of the risks, and to implement mitigation measures to reduce the spread of this deadly, disabling virus.

Many of our members have suffered long term harm from #viral infections and they recognise that the threat from #Covid is ongoing. To prevent widespread damage, we need to mitigate against infection. #ffp3, #ventilate #cleanair is a human right.

I'm also not sure how to answer it but I think that clicking "yes" will probably lead to more forms ...
