Half time reminder I could use some help covering Seffi’s surgery expenses, with much gratitude 🙏 gofund.me/0d92d6833

Persephone needs surgery 😭 We appreciate any help you can give. Plus any shares with the animal lovers in your life. She’s been such a comfort to me, and now she needs the help. Thank you 🙏 gofund.me/b878a86ee

I learned something cool last night from my TCM doctor, related to brain waves and meditation. It clicked for me and might be helpful for others: Meditations where you try to empty your mind and those where you follow a guided meditation to think about something specific both have their place. 1/

Last night I had a dream someone dropped a huge spider into my bed. It was so vivid, I had to get out of bed and then it was hard to fall asleep again. But my cat, who never sleeps on me, curled up on my lower abdomen, as if she meant to protect me from dream spiders. And then I could sleep again ❤️

They think it's a harmless joke, but so many of us need people to mask. My dad starts radiation on Monday and can't get sick. My brother is insisting on flying home on the 1st. He won't mask and I really wish there was public pressure to guilt him to mask, rather than this pressure not to 😭😫😡

So much wellness advice I see is like - teach your nervous system it is safe, so that it can help the body heal. And yes! I think there's something to that! But I would respect the people saying this so much more if they were also trying to change the systems that make the world unsafe for so many

Florida, USA: People who had COVID at anytime & recovered (no persistent symptoms that started with acute COVID) are sought for $4m CDC-funded study. ME/CFS-aware researchers want to compare #longCovid to #MECFS but need controls Survey link: redcap.nova.edu/redcap/surve... Please share widely 🙏

COVID-UPP Study

We’re nearing the finish line on our important CDC study designed to compare Long COVID to ME/CFS — a vital step toward advancing our mission. But we still need healthy control participants!
We are looking for anyone who had COVID at anytime and recovered (no persistent symptoms that started with acute COVID).

We particularly need: males between 55-65 years old and females between 18-50 years old.

The study involves filling out health related surveys and spending a half day at our clinic (Davie or Kendall) completing on-site tests. Our evaluation includes a physical exam, cognitive tests, spirometry etc. There is a financial compensation for your time.

Thank you for considering this opportunity and helping spread the word!

If you’re interested in participating, please complete our COVID-UPP survey: HERE

If you have any questions please email our team at postcoviduppstudy@nova.edu.

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

YES. If you mask everywhere- or at least in the most crowded places that people cannot avoid, like stores- then it places masks in the category of Everyday Clothing. It makes it SO much harder to ban when at least a decent chunk of people wear them.

If everyone in that crowd in Savannah was masked, the cops would not be arresting a lone person trying to protect themselves from Covid. Put on a medical mask - an n95 or kn95 - protect yourself, protect the resistance, protect the vulnerable. Easy hero shit.

How many times did we fucking tell you. You gave up on wearing masks. You let them demonize masks. So they got to write the rules. And the rules are cops “discretion” is that disabled people should be arrested. Because when ableds get to decide who is actually disabled, we lose. Every time.

There’s a growing trend of big “left wing” influencers/journalists mocking BlueSky for talking too much about ableism, attacking disabled activists, etc. It’s extremely reactionary and insidious to do as eugenics is being full on normalized and our healthcare/public health is being dismantled

If I was on bluesky rn I would post something like: we need to unplug this country wait 60 seconds and plug the country back in. Then an account would angrily scold me saying this is ableist for bed ridden patients on respirators who will perish in that unplugged minute

Repeat Covid infections aren’t inevitable. That’s a lie to prop up the economy. They want you to believe you have no power. That mitigations are pointless. You have so much power. You can wear a mask. Clean & ventilate the air. Isolate when sick. Together we can turn the tides.

If officers stop you, ask, "Am I being detained, or am I free to go?" If they say free to go, move away. If they say detained, ask on what basis, then say, "I'm invoking my 5th amendment rights & I want a lawyer." Then say *nothing.* But tomorrow should be peaceful & pleasant. Go meet new friends.
