These feckers have already made off with my last almost-five-decades' worth of creative output to try to "teach" their hopped-up answering machine how to fake writing. If anyone ever *breathed* the suggestion to me that I should willingly use that soi-disant "tool"...it would not go well for them.

No mention of masking, and it's wild the article opens with the usual unsubstantiated, uncited "experts" claiming the variant brings "good news" of milderness -- while the actual verifiable experts quoted are like YIKES this is not good news and people are going to die
Mask up and buckle in. #Covid
The unsaid part, "We would just like the poor to die sooner."

People will lose vital healthcare coverage if Trump's budget bill passes. One estimate found that this would lead to over 20,000 avoidable deaths per year.
Oh, and a reminder that Joni Ernst is up for re-election in 2026.
He should never know peace for the rest of his life. He should live in terror and shame until the day he dies

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long.
Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.
@governorferguson.bsky.social, please take steps to protect the citizens of Washington state. We need you.

Are you ready to follow Nancy Whitman back through her pomegranate-gate, into the Halls of the Dead?
Hope so.
You haven’t “learned to live with COVID” if you’re not aware that people are still dying & becoming disabled or further disabled & chronically ill (LongCOVID) due to COVID infection(s) in the year 2025
COVID can also exacerbate existing chronic illness

Trumps tanking poll numbers, as
explained by @briantylercohen.bsky.social.
This means we are gaining momentum, and we must not stop.

Headline: "Democrats seize on a new issue to use against the GOP: Social Security."
Do the MSM reflexively convert all issues into *the politics* of the issue?
Hmmm, let's see. (Lead story in WaPo right now.)
Well damn. The ending of the final episode of The Sex Lives of College Girls made me cry. That was so powerful.

The Autism "study" will be led by a guy who pretended to be a doctor even though he only has a BA in bio and who attempted a small-scale genocide of autistic people through chemical castration, so you know it'll be legit.

A screenshot from Strava showing the statistics of a bike ride: Avg speed: 21.5km/h, Max speed: 67.2km/h, Moving time: 8:19:51, and an elevation graph showing a total distance of 178.96km and elevation gain of 2,050m.
In April 2023, this is what a Saturday on the bike looked like for me. A few months later, I got Covid. Now, dawdling 3 km to the shops is a serious ride, requiring rest for a week afterwards.
You can be as fit and healthy as you like, fully vaccinated, and it won't save you from Long Covid.
"A recent study shows one in seven working-age adults has experienced some form of “long COVID.”
This is troubling, but even more troubling is the social inequity of the issue. Of that one in seven, most were poor and low-income workers." #covid19 #LongCovid #policy

Covid is not just the flu - it’s a weird disease and causes long term damage to your immune system - especially in long COVID patients

"Calling COVID “non-existent” is more than false — it is gaslighting on a national scale. As of March 2025, the CDC still reports hundreds of COVID-related deaths weekly, with long COVID disabling up to 15% of those infected — including working-age adults."

"You may think that neurological symptoms in #LongCovid are for old people, but it is the opposite. Young adults (18–44 years) and middle-aged (45–64 years) with mild acute #COVID cases (non-hospitalized), represent 90% of the cases of #NeuroCovid."

Section 504 is a crucial disability rights law that ensures disabled people have equal access to healthcare, education, and other services. Seventeen states are suing to end these equal protections for disabled people. Learn more about the case from this resource by DREDF:

An MRI study of 19 children with Covid and 22 controls provided "evidence of potential brain alterations in children following mild COVID", which could relate to virus-induced brain inflammation

Reading in 2025 scientific publications on Covid and Long Covid, which prove again and again what was known in 2020-1 already. An endless loop. Yet, we are so late on trials, treatments, access to care, and clinical guidelines

Alt Text: A graphic titled “Brain Changes in Children” from Long COVID Advocacy, highlighting recent research. The image features a black-and-white profile photo of a child's face overlaid with a digital illustration of the brain and neural connections, viewed as if through an MRI scan. Text below explains that an MRI study found brain changes in children after mild COVID-19, suggesting potential neuroinflammation and emphasizing the need to monitor long-term developmental outcomes. The source is cited as Peng et al, Sci Rep, 2025.
🧠 Study showing that children's brains are being detrimentally affected by COVID even recovering from mild infection🧪
Yet apparently it's fine to let a neurotropic virus loose in schools & the community 🤷♀️
We need a national clear air program now!
