huge shoutout to @fdsignifier.bsky.social for putting this out.

@itsbabs.bsky.social

great video from @fdsignifier.bsky.social—this is such a solid essential breakdown that all people benefit from hearing, and i'd bet so many in your audience wouldn't get anywhere else, especially the call to action to get people to organize for clean air in workplaces and schools!

It's possible we're talking about the same thing/different sides of the same thing cause I agree but I also don't agree.

A lot of people really only care about making things better for themselves specifically and that's a problem we really need to find a way to address.

Henceforth I will be lying about AAVE terms, phrases, and conventions.

In fact in mixed company I will be intentionally misusing it.

I say let them keep using it wrong.

We should straight up lie about what our shit means tbh.

Be prepared for a public health crisis over alzheimer's and other associated diseases.

"What could have caused this?"

I was wrong exactly one time.

Me when there's an explosion of neurological disorders in the next decade or so and everyone told us COVID was no big deal.

"Stop the doomerism! You guys are overreacting! " they said, to the people who had accurately predicted everything that has happened for the past decade.

This some BULLSHIT

Too goddamn long!

An illustration from Long COVID Transformed My Mommy shows two kids in bed with their mother. She wraps them both up in a hug.

An illustration from Long COVID Transformed My Sister Into a Turtle shows a turtle wearing sunglasses and headphones. The text reads, "My mommy is like a turtle that doesn't want to come out of her shell. She avoids loud noises and bright lights. She prefers cozy, quiet places."

We haven’t seen many narratives about — or for — kids whose family members have #LongCOVID. Author and educator Sara Robitaille seeks to change that with her two new children’s books, Long COVID Transformed My Mommy and Long COVID Transformed My Sister into a Turtle. bit.ly/4csWXfE

If they understood they wouldn't be so quick to take and use like they do but they're not interested in understanding, obviously.

I saw a post that said non-Black people turn into babies and just repeat shit when they hear a Black person say it and I haven't forgotten that.

I think the thing that bothers me most about it is the sense of entitlement. No consideration for what it's like actually being Black.

They use it for "person maybe slightly older than me"

Policy briefing executive summary on a blue background with Long Covid Kids logo. Paediatric Long Covid is affecting tens of thousands of children in the UK yet remains poorly tracked. Many affected children experience severe, multi system symptoms that limit their ability to attend school and participate in everyday activities. ​ Evidence shows Long Covid can affect multiple body systems, including the immune, cardiovascular and neurological systems. ​ Despite the growing impact on children, families and schools, national prevalence monitoring has largely stopped, specialist services are closing, and schools still lack clear guidance on how to support affected pupils.

Today we’re launching our new Policy & Parliamentary page.

Fuck daylight savings and fuck weather above 75 degrees.

I think people are generally more aware than they were when I was younger (although this might be evidence of me being more aware than anything else), but we have so far to go.

This country is so deeply disgusting

The rot runs straight to the core

Kids in Iraq & Iran (literally anywhere this country has involved itself militarily)

Spanish Flu, HIV/AIDs, COVID

It's intolerable

Part of me is a little thrown at how willing this country is to just straight up kill vulnerable and otherwise defenseless people, but then I think about everything I've learned about this country since breaking free of its propaganda.

Yeah I can get a similar representation from PMC I was wondering if anyone has done a line graph (or another representation) of the troughs specifically. I want an easier to read representation.

Does anyone know if someone has done a trough trend analysis for COVID?

It looks like the waves might be getting smaller but its presence might be more consistent over extended periods. I'd be curious to see a line graph of the troughs over the years.

I'm so tired this is so unnecessary
