Scientists Finally Reveal Biological Basis of Long COVID Brain Fog.

Patients with brain fog may have disrupted AMPA receptor (AMPAR) expression—key molecules for memory and learning. Imaging of Long COVID patients showed elevated AMPAR density tied to more severe cognitive impairment.

“Our findings clearly demonstrate that Long COVID brain fog should be recognized as a legitimate clinical condition. This could encourage the healthcare industry to accelerate the development of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for this disorder”

Hope looks like identification and treatment 🌈

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.

Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.

Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

I’m really only just getting into it but I genuinely love birding as a hobby. The entire goal is to look at the bird. Is there a bird? There is a bird! Look at the bird! If you are very keen you can learn what to call the bird so that you can properly thank it for the joy you feel when you see it. 🪶

Willow the goat and I lean our heads together and look at the camera, with wispy clouds floating against a blue sky above us. Willow--with a white pelt, blue eyes, horns, and ears that stick strait out on either side of her head--seems to smile with sly look in her eye.

Willow the goat has serious selfie game.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

This possum is a thing of beauty.

I remembered (and figured out how) to cancel a subscription before it automatically renewed. There really needs to be some sort of ADHD award for this sort of thing. Like an ice cream cone. Or a new hobby starter pack of your choice. Or a new chicken. #ADHD-win

DREAMY.

And your alt text is PERFECT.

Thank you for sharing this gorgeous chicken. This is the content I needed today.

I used to get migraines regularly in the couple of days leading up to my cycle re-boot. Since hitting menopause, I only get them if I change up my caffeine intake in one direction or another. Hope you can get some relief one way or another!

To reduce the cognitive load in data visualizations, directly label your data rather than using legends. This helps colorblind or visually impaired users. It also decreases the work of scanning back and forth trying to match the legend with the data.

In a jumble of gardening pots, yellow and purple 9-inch slender sticks cut from willow branches have been planted in soil. Cheerful clumps of green leaves are sprouting from the base of the otherwise bare sticks.

Excellent! I've started propagating willow cuttings just to FAFO. Who knows--maybe I'll take up basket weaving?

Six sunlit eggs are nestled in a small woven basket--one dark brown, one light brown with dark speckles, two rosy beige, one light blue, and one light green.

The first 6-egg day of 2025 has arrived! I have wealth beyond measure.

It's terrorism, pure and simple.

Definitely something to this theory. I have had some improvements in my #LongCovid since starting HRT: estrogen patch and progesterone pill.

YUP!!! I experienced something similar after starting HRT.

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.

When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

Without fail, the day I need to record audio description is the day a work crew is embarking upon a sewer lateral replacement in front of my house.

MY KINGDOM FOR A SOUNDPROOF RECORDING BOOTH!

Sadly, thinking ahead a couple of steps does not seem to be in the cognitive repertoire of those who voted for him. Also, having a large military for outward defense is not so important to the administration. Having an all-male, all-white military for internal offense IS.
