It’s always odd to me when I get asked if I am wearing a mask because I am sick. In my experience, these days most people wearing a mask are doing so to prevent themselves getting sick, and most people who are sick don’t wear a mask at all.

As we recall the trauma caused by COVID in 2020, we should not forget COVID continues to harm. Many still suffer from Long COVID, people who mask are often harassed, and we haven’t scaled clean air infrastructure. If we truly acknowledge past harms, we should be working to create a better future.

I know so many Americans, who are the best people I have ever met! It's sad your country is going through these...
Panel 1: Against a light blue background, Sven stands on the left, looking up at a white, simplified character sitting behind a high gray desk labeled "INSURANCE". Sven says, "I NEED HEALTHCARE". The insurance agent looks at him with an open mouth, saying, "LMAO! YOU SERIOUS?".

Panel 2: The scene slightly zooms out. A second white character has joined the first behind the insurance desk. The first agent points dramatically at Sven, shouting to his colleague, "HEY! THIS GUY WANTS HEALTHCARE!". The second agent throws his head back in intense laughter, shouting, "AHAHAHA!!". Sven stands there looking dejected and small.

Panel 3: The scene abruptly cuts to a bedroom with a purple wall. Sven is in bed, waking up in a cold sweat with a terrified, wide-mouthed expression, sweating and shouting, "NOOOO!!". Next to him, a green-skinned partner with blonde hair opens their eyes sleepily and asks, "WHAT'S WRONG, SVEN?".

Panel 4: A close-up of Sven sitting up in the dark against a pitch-black background. He looks deeply shaken, clutching his head with sweat dripping down his face. He somberley says, "I THINK I HAD AN AMERICAN DREAM...".

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

The CDC has paused testing for rabies and pox viruses. It's vital we keep a close eye on them as rabies is virtually 100% fatal without vaccination, and smallpox killed hundreds of millions (we really don't want a similar virus returning). Losing track of these viruses is a recipe for catastrophe.

Londoners maybe don't understand how huge this is because they've got so many stations. Glasgow has two and they're not set up to be easily interchangeable - Central goes everywhere south, Queen Street everywhere north.

A thing that’s shocking me about the lack of coverage is air safety info. Hi, Glasgow folk, from a Southern Californian transplant: ash from old buildings is super gnarly. Please wear a respirator if you need to be near the scene. Queen Street is still available, but it goes different places!

I just cancelled two subscriptions before they auto renewed. Honestly prouder of that than anything else I have accomplished this week... (Well, two days of wrestling a spreadsheet into submission to get usable figures was also pretty big I guess). But the subs are a particular win 😂

This is an attack on human rights. Kansas is stripping trans people of their drivers licence unless they change it to the wrong gender. This will make it so they can’t drive and can’t vote. Get loud. If they can take rights away from trans people, they can take them from you.

Why do we keep pretending that ‘cost-saving’ is at the top of what matters to us in public health? This is an economic priority, not necessarily a health one. We get too sucked into trying to be ‘pragmatic’ & lose sight of the notion that such an ideological stance is a choice not an inevitability.

The world feels pretty messed up at the moment :( but today I got up to half way through my fourth book since Jan 1st (ok they're quick reads but this is more new books than I've read in the last 5 years minimum) and I also binge watched all 6 eps of Heated Rivalry. Escapism rules I guess.
