Freedom of religion doesn't extend to harming others. Especially after the first child died, a family court should have been able to at least terminate their parental rights & save the others.

I thought this was a pretty good way to rephrase asking people to #MaskUp, yet exactly zero other people wore one for my grandma's funeral today.

A cardboard box with N95s peeking out the top, with a large sticker on the front.
"FREE N95 MASKS
THANK YOU FOR WEARING ONE TOO HELP PROTECT OUR VULNERABLE GUESTS"

White phosphorus was originally synthesized & identified by boiling the water off of pig urine. It's extremely flammable, burns very hot, & difficult to extinguish. It can burn flesh through to bone.

Citizen Harry 😷🥄⚙️💚🍉 @citizenharry.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Honestly, that might hurt less than silence, or letting the rare conversation go silent on their end when the truth gets too awkward & they walk away from the table rather than admit checkmate. With overt animosity, I could write them off completely as trolls. But then things like grandma's...

So I actually hear some variation of this a lot, mostly revolving around “I don’t want people to make suppositions about me that lead to unpleasant comments or violence”. Here’s the thing. You’re afraid they’ll treat you like they treat us. It’s not as comforting as you seem to think.

Those who benefit the most are the poor families who couldn't already afford daycare, so both parents (or the only parent!) can now work full time hours in a city with a ridiculously high cost of living that keeps going up. Those who need the most help, who are much more likely to be not-white. 🤨

My landlord, who flew a giant MAGA flag up until he switched it to Air Force after his son enlisted, just demanded an extra $100/month for the winter to cover the heating oil bill. I REALLY want to tell him this is the FO he deserves & he can SMD.

The real truth is that you're running the same poll too, regardless of what you believe or if you're counting.

Citizen Harry 😷🥄⚙️💚🍉 @citizenharry.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Wherever I go, there's an ongoing poll, "Should the odds of Harry becoming MORE disabled by Long COVID forever & dying younger be HIGHER, or LOWER?" You vote with your face - wearing an N95 is LOWER, barefaced is HIGHER.

My honest, core truth is that the idea of anyone approaching me without a mask to offer in-person condolences FEELS completely disingenuous, worse than saying nothing. Such actions demonstrate a reckless disregard for my physical health & safety (and your own), plus my stress level.

A very small and logical act of kindness most people can engage in is wearing a mask at their doctor’s office, even when it is not required. It’s a very anti-fascism and kindness driven action.

You need to ask your financial advisor about options, or perhaps Human Resources if it's a fund with employer matching like 401k.

Citizen Harry 😷🥄⚙️💚🍉 @citizenharry.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Short answer, the default is yes. However, depending on what kind of fund you have, it may be possible to divest from general "index funds" for something more tailored, or one that's insured against losses beyond a certain value. There are always tradeoffs, like an annual fee or caps on gains.

Your savings also shrink by the inflation rate, including if you have any retirement accounts. When inflation goes "down", you're not getting a blood transfusion - you're just not bleeding as quickly.

Citizen Harry 😷🥄⚙️💚🍉 @citizenharry.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

...according to the price of things the Working Class buys the most. Gasoline at the pump, staple foods, utilities service. That's NOT the measure government/media always uses when they talk about "inflation" - they can use other metrics when the CPI doesn't suit their narrative.

Citizen Harry 😷🥄⚙️💚🍉 @citizenharry.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Every time you hear "inflation" in the news, what that really means is "cutting your pay". Your take-home is functionally shrinking every week, & unless your annual raise is a few points ahead of the CPI, your employer is cheating you. That's the Consumer Price Index, inflation weighted...

Does anyone know of any groups/projects that are pushing back directly against the Great Unjobbening (which is to say, the pattern of companies laying off more and more people, disproportionately Black women, refusing to hire, and pushing more and more people out of the workforce altogether)?

Study: More evidence of reduced blood flow to the brain of people with Long COVID Analysis: The U.S. is ill-equipped to respond to LC and future mass disabling events Preprint: Assessed over 700 LC clinical trials and found that they emphasized treating symptoms thesicktimes.org/2026/09/22/r...

A visual shows functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the brain, which allow researchers to visualize the activity of the brain. Three scans surround a 3-d image of a human head with a view into their brain. The text reads, “The Sick Times. Long COVID research updates. A small study found more evidence of reduced blood flow to the brain of people with Long COVID. New analysis: The U.S. is ill-equipped to respond to Long COVID and future mass disabling events. A recent preprint assessed over 700 Long COVID clinical trials and found that they emphasized treating symptoms.”

A small study in NeuroImage: Reports has found more evidence of reduced blood flow to the brain of people with Long COVID. The authors concluded that this abnormality was linked with fatigue, after they assessed brain imaging results of 22 people with Long COVID and compared them with 19 controls. Participants of the study performed a 20-minute cognitive test called psychomotor vigilance task (PVT), while undergoing a type of MRI that tracks blood flow. People with Long COVID reported much higher fatigue than controls both before and after the task, and “exhibited significantly longer reaction times during the PVT,” the authors concluded.

The U.S. is ill-equipped to respond to Long COVID and future mass disabling events, a new analysis argues in The Journal of Medical Humanities. Author Philip Finkelstein evaluated the disease through the lens of securitization, or, how public challenges are viewed as existential security threats. He found that modern security strategies remain “shortsighted and poorly attuned to threats that operate insidiously, eroding societies from within.” He stated that to properly address the security of Long COVID on society, the U.S. would need to invest in long-term care, workplace accommodations, and social support, but that these solutions are not “geopolitically advantageous.”

A recent preprint shared in Research Square assessed over 700 Long COVID clinical trials and found that they emphasized treating symptoms. Only 57 of the 714 trials addressed post-exertional malaise (PEM), prevalent in a subtype of Long COVID, and only eight of those trials used PEM as primary endpoint. “There is a substantial unmet need for well-powered, mechanism-based, disease-modifying trials with biomarker-driven designs and objective, exertion-based endpoints,” the researchers concluded. Still, researchers stated they used a conservative research strategy, which may have missed some studies.

It has an "ar" sound, so it's already a literal shibboleth to know who's from Boston 😉. Replacing the R word with other ableist slurs or mental health diagnoses, accusations of brain damage from COVID (or otherwise) is like "not using the N word" while otherwise being conspicuously racist.
