The newly emerging SARS-CoV-2 variant BA.3.2 has a remarkable ability to evade antibodies and can rapidly spread even amongst vaccinated populations, although no one cares.

One of the things that I said about the obsession with pandemic learning loss is that the kids are always learning. Many of us are too afraid to ask what it is they are learning. This is a pretty good summary of some of the lessons.

PMDD, Autism, and ADHD: The Hushed Comorbidity Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a hormonal health condition that causes severe mood and functioning issues, and disproportionately affects people with ADHD or autism. Here, learn about PMDD ...

Doctors kept telling us that our AuDHD AFAB offspring had bipolar disorder, but in hindsight it's very clear that it was PMDD all along. *This* is what autism researchers should be looking at, not more useless vax studies. www.additudemag.com/pmdd-autism-...

That’s a good goal! I urged some friends to join but I don’t know that they will. I just hope in time more people will flock here as it gains popularity (and as FB becomes more and more unbearable).

I’m sure when I actually delete it I’ll feel relieved but honestly right now I just feel frustrated.

Today I spent hours deleting all my data off Facebook. Photos, posts, comments, likes, notes… from 2007 until now. A bittersweet feeling of looking through an old diary - moments of remembrance mixed with cringe-inducing embarrassment.

I think I enjoy painting autumnal landscapes more than almost anything else! This one is done in gouache.

I know what you mean! I still feel very out of my depth here and like I don’t fit in yet. Many friends haven’t moved away from Meta. It’s hard.

TikTok and Instagram refugee here, too πŸ‘‹ I’ve been following you over there (and admiring your art) for years, and was relieved to have found you on here. I think we are all just feeling so lost, and it’s relieving to see a friendly and familiar face!

So. You're one of many who may not be the most tech savvy, BUT, you still know that protecting your data right now is extremely important.

What steps can you take?

Plague Poems – The Two-Hundred-and-Forty-Third Week Will this pandemic last forever? No, of course, this pandemic will not last forever. But considering that you will also not last forever, you might as well do what you can to outlast it. * Should y…

I know, my friend,
that you are exhausted
from trying
to convince them
that they should care
about other people,
but keep trying
oh please, my friend,
keep trying.

A compendium of the 243rd week of plague poems…

If anyone tells you that we are in a better place now than in the beginning of the pandemic, it’s a lie. People are dying more in the chronic phase of Covid than in the acute stage, and those who survive, are left with chronic illnesses that may become permanent.

We must remain resilient.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Realized that my #mecfs makes me much too isolated to be giving up social media… but that doesn’t mean I can’t choose a better platform that has more acceptance, positivity and empathy than many others. Going to give this a try and see if I can build some community here to feel a little less alone.
