Cool to see Will Toledo (of Car Seat Headrest) wearing a mask to perform at Austin City Limits. I found out he had Long Covid that stopped their touring in 2022. Glad to see them back! www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...

@mommunism.bsky.social hi Molly I'm really sorry for the public post, I know you are already overwhelmed with requests but if you have 5 minutes to check the DM I sent you and share the small campaign my friend is running for our Palestinian friends, I would be so grateful πŸ’™πŸ˜­

Mona Hijazi has thousands of followers on here and hundreds of people she communicates with frequently- she rarely to never replies with her link and why she is suspended is beyond me

Screenshot of 3 tweets.

Original tweet shows @SmartAirFIlters posting a picture of two workers installing air filtration system at one of the BBC offices. The tweet says "Smart Air Purifiers at BBC."

Another user quote tweeted it and said "Everyone gets clean air but your kids at school (eye rolling emoji)".

Another user replied below "So, does that mean that BBCWorld now admits to covid being airborne?"

Use what you have on hand: KN95 and N95 are both proven to filter larger particles (PM2.5) in smoke, helping to protect your lungs.

You Can Know Things A blog about science in a world of untrue facts.

Many of you already know about my battle with an autoimmune disease that started shortly after I got COVID in 2022. Here's a summary from a science/health blog aimed at battling disinformation. πŸ§ͺ😷🧠

Separate from my story, there is a lot of other useful health content!

Hey DanaCatCat, if the FloMask is an emergency (you don't need to explain/justify here), I think mask blocs in your area, or closest to you might be helpful.

Pro tip from someone who used to cover fires all the time: N95s and KN95s (and other masks) will protect against the particulate matter that will otherwise potentially get into your throat, lungs, and bloodstream and make you feel like total shit.

Hi Dr Winterhorn, someone hacked your Twitter/X account and it's insulting and trolling a lot of people using your account I tried to warn some people about it but it would be cool if you delete your account if you don't use Twitter anymore.

Don't hold your breath, I never bother looking at these reha articles. Too many fellow patients became severely bed bound because of that.
