Can anyone point me to a resource on how sign "Long COVID" in American Sign Language? I've seen various ways from spelling it out, to using the sign for "Coronavirus" or "COVID-19" followed by "Long" or "Stay". I'm curious if there is any official guidance/recommendations. Many thanks πŸ™

Gambling turns people into objects. It will never be good for society.

Does Juice have the Juice to be our center of the future? He’s still young and supposedly had a good rookie year but has looked meh since. Have you heard anything to give you optimism a change of scenery will elevate his game?

I have had similar experiences with medical professionals. It’s mind blowing.

No. It’s the more progressive one. Which is slightly left of center.

Resurrection Pastor Adam Hamilton considers run for U.S. Senate

Oh: The pastor of a sprawling UMC church, Rev. Adam Hamilton, *may* jump into the Kansas Senate race as an independent.

If he *were* to enter the race and win, he'd unseat Sen. Roger Marshall, a Republican who objected to PA and AZ's 2020 electoral votes. www.greatplainsumc.org/newsdetail/r...

Hamilton is an elite salesman whose values would squarely put him in the middle of the democratic caucus. He’s exceptional at raising money and support. As a politician he would rarely take risks.

I would have just blocked them first. That seems to be the culture here and I’m down with it. When enough people do it, it will marginalize the posers.

Higher pressures for longer sessions and timelines lead to better outcomes would be my tdlr.

All the hbot studies come back mixed which is hard considering how expensive it is. We need to actually see how it’s affecting some of the known biomarkers I think. Or it just need clearer results.

the republican party line is, fairly explicitly, "we will kill your children if you don't vote for us because we know you won't kill our children if we don't vote for you," and the appropriate response to the existence of such a political party is to outlaw it

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

Wouldn’t he also have to offer rental assistance? A moratorium wouldn’t be enough when people have no way to make money. The bill would come due as soon as the moratorium is over.

There are a dozen new studies it seems testing cocktails, so researchers must have gotten the memo.

Phase 2 study though so there must be some early results somewhere.

This seems important. I wish I had the brainpower to watch it. Is there any strong conclusions?

Sounds familiar; If you are looking for a diagnosis, the way most of us get started is to have the GP rule out all the common causes of fatigue, mostly through blood work. Good luck.

U.S. Women's Hockey Team declines Trump's invitation to the State of the Union President Donald Trump invited the men's and women's hockey teams after both won gold medals in overtime games against Canada.

"The U.S. Women's Hockey Team said it is declining President Donald Trump's invitation to attend his State of the Union address, a day after the president jokingly told the U.S. men's hockey team that he would be impeached if he didn't also invite the women's team."

Zero trust in him. And leading with vaccine injury is telling. It’s real, but at a tiny fraction of those other conditions. Just another way to sow distrust in vaccines.

Anyone live in Alaska who is able to submit such a request?

Yeah. We invested in a nice adult height foam mattress for the loft bed.

Same for me. We put a loft in my spouses office across the hall so that she would have an alternate place to sleep that’s still close.
