Hey Covid Conscious Blueskis, I told my partner about the updated Covid vaccine and he insisted it was pointless because “they can’t keep up with the new strains.” How much protection can the updated vaccine provide? We both had Delta kick our ass while vaccinated, so he stopped getting the shots.

Same. Lowered productivity and poorer quality work (mistakes and other stupidity). Probably has some usefulness in limited contexts, but certainly not for everything. Not a good bargain for the resource and evergy extraction it requires.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

In case you hadn't heard, I've been working on a fourth book in the Harvest Series (formerly the Harvest Trilogy, ha!). The good news is that the draft is around the 90,000 word mark, with a fair bit left to do. authormichaelhicks.com/progress-upd…

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.

These guys never have enough and seem to hate life and to be determined to destroy the natural world as fast as they can. That sounds extreme but I have no other explanation.

"Long COVID is common, affecting up to 10% to 20% of children with a history of COVID-19. With almost 6 million US children potentially affected, this is higher than the number of children with asthma, the most common chronic health problem in children" Yes the authors use the word "potentially"

You created a burner account to observe the feed and concluded “wow, lots of COVID posts.” Yes. Because there’s an enormous body of research on cumulative harm from repeat infection. The algorithm amplifies. The science predates it.

Well done. My rudimentary knowledge of Icelandic (what I picked up from my grandparents) helped a lot especially word order, noun declensions (or at least the concept) and pronouns. However, was still lost by 1100 or 1000. The spoken word would be more difficult, think I.

Degrowth says we can have a high-tech equitable global society, even in climate-ecological collapse. #JustCollapse makes no such false promise. Instead, we stand for achieving as much socio-ecological justice as possible, not thru high-tech but by salvaging from what already exists.

This is all a coordinated attempt to get people in the office. I am not sure of the motivation but after working from home so long going in seem sooo stupid and wasteful and I accomplish way more at home.

Alan44.bsky.social @alan44.bsky.social · 22/06/2025
One of the reasons… another is the model of this as the good life and an expectation for those who know no difference…. and what a wasteful way of life.

Congress is making more than 250 million acres of public lands available for sale.
The Senate reconciliation package is a disturbing giveaway that will mandate the “disposal” of public lands across the western United States.

A few months ago Trump was complaining about some of the grass making people’s feet wet. He is (they are) afraid of wilderness, non human animals, trees, gardens and even grass (except golf courses). A bunch of hateful weaklings.

Exactly. Unsurprising from an administration that wants to sell off National Forests and wilderness for “development”.

As much as I despise Trump, at least twice as many Americans died of COVID under Biden, plus millions hammered by long COVID. And while RFK Jr. is horrific, can we please stop pretending that Biden and his HHS/CDC picks "followed the science" beyond May 2021 and the Great Unmasking? 1/2

Stalin did that in the 1930s purges of political enemies. After the German invasion he was lucky to be able to get some very good generals (like Rokossovsky👇) back (from prison), but they were woefully unprepared at the start. www.beachesofnormandy.com/articles/The...

7.5mg Mirtazapine as needed helped me. Not only the nights I took it but carry over effects to the next night (sometimes 2). Side effects- may feel dazed and a little out of it next Monday. Zolpidem didn’t work- usually 2 hrs sleep and woke feeling horrible.
