I believe that every human life has an absolute value, and is worthy of being shielded from harm. That belief is reason enough for me to wear a respirator mask in all public spaces during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19, to avoid being an enabler of illness and mortality.

We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

This is your regular reminder that Covid is airborne.

It’s not over. It’s still killing and disabling people.

It’s a novel virus and we still don’t know the full long term effects, but what we do know is not encouraging.

Wear a mask. Clean the air. Stay home when sick.

Protect one another.

Have a good listen.🎧 ✌️

Oh, man, this is just what I needed for our heavy times. A good listen. 🎧 Thank you for sharing. ✌️

‘They have a 50 state strategy’: PragerU’s ‘insidious’ alternative to PBS hits U.S. classrooms PragerU has found an ally in the White House and is presenting itself as the “conservative” option to PBS. The media company currently has partnerships with 10 states but MSNBC’s Antonia Hylton, who has long reported on PragerU, warns that the company has a bigger plan. PragerU has found their biggest champion in Oklahoma, but “we don’t need PragerU to come in and tell us how to teach our kids,” says State Rep. and social studies teacher John Waldron.

PragerU's "conservative" alternative to PBS has hit classrooms in 10 states, but ‘they have a 50 state strategy,' warns ‪@msnbc.com’s @ahylton26.bsky.social. What these videos present is "not just a little wrong -- it's really insidious." #Velshi

The Invention of “Sesame Street” Renata Adler’s 1972 review of the program that revolutionized children’s television.

“Small children from poor or middle-class families who watch ‘Sesame Street’ do better on cognitive tests and in first grade than children who do not watch it,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

People often ask me if I’m ever going to stop wearing my mask.

They ask in such an exasperated tone, as though my mask is infringing upon their lives in some way.

I like not being sick. If I had known how effective respirators were before COVID, I would have worn them before!

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️
