COVID-19 myths vs. facts. myth: If I’ve already had COVID-19 once, I’m immune from getting it again. Fact: There is no limit on how many times you can get COVID-19. Reinfection is common, and each new infection raises your risk of serious illness, organ damage, Long COVID, and more.

COVID-19 myths vs. facts. myth: I won’t get COVID-19 as long as I wash my hands well. Fact: It’s always a good idea to wash your hands, but COVID-19 spreads primarily through the air and respiratory droplets, so handwashing is much less likely to prevent COVID-19 than wearing masks.

COVID-19 myths vs. facts. myth: I don’t need to wear masks if I’ve already been vaccinated.Fact: Vaccines can reduce your risk of infection, and if you do get sick after being vaccinated, you are much less likely to experience severe illness or death, but it is still possible to get COVID-19 and spread it to others even if you’ve been vaccinated, so it’s a good idea to keep masking.

COVID-19 cases are still high, so be sure to know the facts and avoid the myths in order to protect yourself and others.

Good 🧵

ahh yeah i can totally see that. and it’s not like it got more uplifting after that 🙄

hmm, i do not know you so feel free to ignore, but: it sounds like Andor might be relevant to your interests

It’s her for me

Beautifully written, heartbreaking, important article

People should actually be panicked about the fact that social media algorithms mean that we functionally can live in completely different realities or you can just write snarky comments about how dumb people are

I know I can’t make you choose the correct response

Fantastic thread

years ago, when I was about 3 weeks sober, @chrisgeidner.bsky.social taught me a secret that genuinely changed my life on countless occasions, including today: you’re allowed to decide you’re starting your day over at any point in the 24 hour cycle

Trump told us the horrifying reason why Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not back in the U.S. The Trump administration wants to send Americans to foreign prisons. Keeping Abrego Garcia in El Salvador is key to that lawless plan.

At Law Dork, I wrote about that Oval Office visit — and what it means:

hiya, daffodil #bloomscrolling #gardening

A macro photo of a bright orange planthopper nymph on a rock.The nymph has a thick tuft of squared-off, white waxy fibers protruding from its abdomen, making the tiny insect look remarkably like a living shaving brush.

The macro workshop @mhedin.bsky.social and I taught yesterday in Anza-Borrego was great fun. After class time in the morning we wandered the desert for subjects. Among those were these amazing 3 mm. planthopper nymphs which I am calling Shaving Brush Bugs. We found them under rocks. 🐙🌿📷 #insects

A dozen very tiny orange lollipops on rotting wood. The stems are white and the bulbs are shiny orange. When these mature they will fluff up like bits of yellow Brillo pads on tiny stems. When all the spores are gone, they will fade to almost white.

It’s Sunday. Enjoy this beautiful slime mold. It’s probably Hemitrichia calyculata. Each little lollipop is just under 2mm tall. 🌱🌿

From 1951-1976, the NLRB exempted most nonprofit organizations from union recognition. What does this trajectory tell us about changing notions of the nonprofit economy and its role in American society?

New article from me, open access @modamhist.bsky.social:

What's really behind Elon Musk and DOGE's AI schemes DOGE is feeding workers' emails into an AI to decide if they should keep their jobs. It's a cruel joke in the service of something much worse.

DOGE's new AI, built to scan federal workers' emails to see if they get to keep their jobs, is the latest in a number of AI schemes from Musk.

We might scoff at how dumb these ideas are, but the truth is, they're not even supposed to work. They're built to eliminate accountability.

A bunch of several dozen fuiting bodies on short stalks. These are about 2.5mm tall each and hot pink like cartoon strawberries. These are arranged in a circle with the outer bodies leaning out and the central ones standing vertical.

I know everything sucks but we must find ways to restore ourselves. Today I went looking for slime molds and found this gorgeous bunch of Arcyria denudata looking like a bouquet of Vienna sausages. 🌿#slimemoldsunday #myxomycetes #photography #macro #slimemold

It is very, very important that Admin Scholars are very, very clear right now these e-mails are wildly unlawful. Russ Vought and Elon Musk trying to terrify and harass government employees, and they need to know that these e-mails are the very definition of arbitrary and capricious action.

I'm only going to say this one time.
Protesting in these times needs to be deliberate around safety & risk.

We need to be cautious about "spontaneous" actions that have no discernible leadership or planning.

"Just show up" as a directive should be a HUGE RED FLAG.

Fascinating thread

BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked President Trump's executive order forcibly to detransition trans women inmates and transfer them to men's prisons, citing the 8th amendment prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.

NEW — DOGE now has full access to HHS Payment Management System, I’ve learned.

The system distributes almost $1 trillion per year in grants (largest in the govt) and supports all of NIH, CDC + many other public health initiatives. Musk guy Luke Farritor is actively delaying payments to recipients.
