Once again look to Japan (this graph is older but the relative order of the G7 countries hasn't shifted too meaningfully)

Getting long covid will make it much harder to do organizing or mutual aid work. If you want to preserve your ability to help, wear an n95 when you share air.
#HelloWorld - all our liberations are intertwined!
Being #Disabled by #LongCOVID for a few years & late-diagnosed #ActuallyAutistic & #ADHD, I have the most to say about #DisabilityRights, while boosting other marginalized groups.
Gathering barefaced indoors says, "This org hates cripples!" ⬇️
It's not very helpful to send Covid cautious folks links to coffee shops, travel, and indoor restaurants with a message that says "old you would love this." We know those places exist.
A better idea? Share activities that include airborne precautions - they do exist!
turns out the discord situation is worse! the company that will be doing the age verifications with IDs is Persona, a peter thiel aligned company
we're going to try to wind down the Kill The Computer discord and try to get a subreddit for the podcasts community up and running
This is Gavin Newsom introducing and attempting to mainstream the idea that adults should also not be allowed to transition.
That he, and people like him, should have the right to dictate whether we receive medical care, or are denied it.
And you ask why we'll oppose him to our dying breaths?
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Friday moved to end deportation protections for people from Yemen, the 13th country from which the Trump administration has struck the status. The move leaves just four countries that the administration has not sought to end what is...

If people who only masked/isolated in 2020/2021 thought their mental health struggles were bad, imagining the impact of continuing to isolate to protect your health.
please share your favorite google calendar replacements! cal and its integrations (and the fact that my history goes back over a decade—VERY helpful for chronic illness reasons especially) are a major thing keeping me on a google product 🫠
This is respectability politics. And self-bigotry. First of all, she's spreading misinformation. but the bigots above us have never needed a Bad Trans to justify violence. They just invent one everyday
our liberation isn't based on all of us acting right; that's fascist logic
Ring is first and foremost a scheme to charge Amazon customers to deter crime that costs Amazon (not the customers themselves) billions annually in refunds, returns, double shipping, and customer service overhead.
how bad do you have to fuck up to allow an exploit in fucking NOTEPAD
My Mom died of cancer at the same age as James Van Der Beek.
My life was forever changed.
The grief of losing a parent that young is unimaginable.
We didn’t have to fundraise. We didn’t have to worry about losing our home.
Why? Universal Healthcare.
Without it my family would have been bankrupt
as a lupus patient who relies on hydroxychloroquine, the stigma on these medications has been and continues to be terrible for those of us who rely on them. so unfortunate, unnecessary.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage.
The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts.
Follow along!
Catherine O’Hara died of a pulmonary embolism after "a brief illness".
Are we ready to acknowledge the virus known for causing cardiovascular and respiratory damage never went away?
yea why not start an article about the benefits of mitigation by undermining it
A toddler was rushed to the hospital from ICE detention with Covid, RSV, & pneumonia, then sent back & denied prescribed treatment.
These centres are *rife* for viral disease spread & little kids are extra vulnerable

One of the reasons I am *begging* everyone to stop using “Minneapolis” as a synecdoche for the entire Twin Cities metro area is that leads to inaccurate reporting like this. These are Minnesota State Police, who are under the command of Tim Walz, and this is not happening in Minneapolis.
I love all of your fits! I feel like I would wear almost all of these!
issuing a new round of "apology to" forms to everyone who filled out "apology to will stancil" forms
Children's MN just announced they're pausing prescribing hormones and puberty blockers for trans kids starting Feb 27. @ag.state.mn.us is there anything your office can do about this? www.childrensmn.org/services/car...
You may have heard
that the astronauts
preparing to go to space
wear N95 masks
to protect themselves,
which just goes to show
that protecting yourself
from transmissible viruses
isn’t rocket science.
Homelessness is a policy choice.
Suffering is a policy choice.
Everyone deserves a safe place to lay their head, food on their table and healthcare.
When basic needs are met health and happiness improve.
We could easily provide for everyone… those in power don’t want to.
I like when the show about ethics brings attention to the most effective way to combat poverty: just directly giving money to the poor
study after study has show that programs like UBI and other social welfare systems, given w/o means testing, is the most effective way to raise them from poverty
Incontinence is not a moral failing
the “several unthinkably evil things” in question includes convincing the general public that using respirators are not tools beyond exceptional circumstances, if even then.
I generally place blame for people not masking in crowded indoor spaces at the systems & gov't level, but make a notable exception for healthcare providers & long Covid researchers.
We are in year 7 of a pandemic. Please listen to patients & do better
I tried to talk to my inlaws after trump got re-elected that they need to start masking because there are massive amounts of airborne illnesses both already here and on the horizon. They never responded to me and told my wife that she needed to seek therapy
