It’s never too late to start masking again, even if it’s just sometimes

The pandemic should have led to clean indoor air, treatments for long covid and related illnesses, next gen vaccines, normalization of masking, mandatory respiratory protection in healthcare, sick leave, and a paradigm shift around what infections do to people

It's great that public bathrooms are being added - but we could also use signs pointing to existing bathrooms! I often see people (read: men) peeing in public parks only 1 block from a toilet! I guess they don't know the bathroom even exists. We need signs from all directions pointing to bathrooms

Disabled people are forced to regularly “prove” they’re still disabled to maintain the meagre benefits they receive. Mitch McConnell doesn’t even have to prove he’s competent in order to vote & be paid. There’s no transparency. This should enrage you.

What's the #1 sign that someone isn't eating regularly? They get hangry. Eating regularly matters. Sending your body the nutrients it needs in a dependable, regular way supports mental and metabolic health in major ways. When that isn't happening, hunger devolves into a psychological event.

I'm so thankful there are people on this thread who understand that the problem with GMOs is not the gene technology, but all the implications of using GMOs (they require pesticides, hurt farmers & workers, raise farming costs sterile seeds, less corn varieties planted, etc) You all give me hope!

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

As a dietitian, I generally try to stay as far away as possible from unnecessary food restrictions. However, I also eat as little beef as I can because it's SO bad for the environment. Now, there's another good reason to avoid beef whenever possible.

Couldn't agree more. I was shopping at Macy's this weekend. To my dismay, I found that they pump scents in various places, one being the fitting room. I couldn't escape the scent because I needed to use the fitting room. By the time I left, I was coughing & tasting the scent in my mouth. Disgusting

That's great to know. But what an unfortunate name - those of us who actually know what Medicare is (and isn't) know that actual Medicare is not worth fighting for like that. A rebranding would get more folks on board, especially medical providers like me who are eyeball deep in this crap daily.

Caylee Clay, RDN (they/them) @autoimmune-eats.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Sure, but can we please push for MedicAID for all? Medicare only covers 80%, excludes dental and vision, plus has other ridiculous restrictions and limitations. Medicaid covers many more services.

🔔 The rollercoaster of symptoms that are irregular and not consistent, and/or having to deal with feeling terrible everyday. During the group, it became abundant clear how soothing it is to be in community, hear others stories, share our own experiences, and reflect together.

Caylee Clay, RDN (they/them) @autoimmune-eats.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

🔔 Overwhelming, persistent questions like "Why is this happening to me?" and "Why am I not like everybody else?" 🔔 Visible symptoms, like those that affect our hair and skin, are labeled as just "cosmetic" - but it's so much more than superficial.

Caylee Clay, RDN (they/them) @autoimmune-eats.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Last week, I hosted my first autoimmune support group, called The Autoimmune Circle. So many critical topics come up: 🔔 The importance of mourning and allowing ourselves to feel sad and upset - but also not letting those emotions dominate for too long.

Caylee Clay, RDN (they/them) @autoimmune-eats.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

While it's good advice, it's also sad that kids with chronic conditions need to take ownership for others being sick. I wish it was normalized to ask people who are sick in public to either go home or wear a mask.

Caylee Clay, RDN (they/them) @autoimmune-eats.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

You're so right - there are many forms of purging, plus disordered eating more broadly as well. It's so disappointing when medical providers rely heavily on labs alone. I've seen so many clients of my own with normal labs and also persistent serious issues...

Could have fooled me. My block is overrun. For the first time, they've started nesting in my backyard, too. It seems worse than ever in South Williamsburg.

I know this is the Onion, but in reality most doctors understand absolutely nothing about eating disorders. In fact, they often inadvertently promote them by recommending "weight loss" to fix every medical issue under the sun
