It is in Your Head! - Structural Changes to The Brain from COVID-19

Some in the medical profession have been saying Long COVID is all in the head. Ironically, they're onto something—but not in the way they think. (1/19)

Your regular reminder that the COVID pandemic is NOT over. Please use language accordingly. Don’t refer to ‘during the pandemic’ or ‘post-COVID’ or ‘since COVID’. We are still in the thick of it - wave after wave. People are still dying or becoming disabled from Long COVID

until we control the spread of covid, these numbers will continue to increase. I've only read 10% of the over 470,000 research articles.

#ItsCovid

article actually states: "it's unclear why costs of benefits have increased so much SINCE COVID"

£90 billion on disability u can't get "undisabled"

Spoiler alert: Democrats also handled COVID terribly. This article is an excellent breakdown of the evolving shifting narrative of vax & relax.

We choose to mask Rather than be complicity in the mass disablement of humanity

The people you see masking are the ones who:

* care
* are paying attention
* know there’s a better way

We understand what’s happening and we reject it

Masking is an act of compassionate defiance

Hope you enjoy.

Yeah, it's like lib overdose here. No thanks.

I'm not leaving. I get principal and have done that all my life. It's still the best place to get scientific info. Most are still there. What I need not nice feels.

Exactly. Why I haven't left Twitter.

How many who left Twitter because of Musk regularly use Amazon? Owned by a just as exploitive billionaire.

This.

Great podcast on Covid Aware Organizing featuring @shiralurie.bsky.social. Lots of great tips for making events safe for everyone!

I use an app. You can connect and talk with people all over.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

This is Céline Haidar, a Lebanese national team footballer.

Céline now lies in intensive care, critically injured after being struck in the head by Israeli shrapnel in Beirut.

If she were Ukrainian, her story would be everywhere. But because she’s Lebanese, the world is silent.

Jewish activists poured red paint on the steps of the Israeli consulate in Toronto, demanding a ceasefire in Israel's war on Gaza.
