On this day of labor remember: when they tell you (and they will tell you) that Covid is not a labor issue, ask them if people catch Covid at work, ask them if people have to work while sick, and when they say yes, tell them that’s why Covid is a labor issue.

My friend the climatologist worries that the heat is rising. My friend the epidemiologist worries that cases are rising. My friend the historian worries that fascism is rising. My friend the activist worries that we are not rising.

I love the Leeds wildlife. Day 2 of @sshmedicine.bsky.social conference. Lots of #EarlyModern content today including the latest project by @rouge1767.bsky.social and me.

According to the news the Ebola outbreak has now exceeded 1,000 cases in Congo, and on a related note according to a Lancet study the aid cuts (championed by the man who is why the number of trillionaires has exceeded zero) will result in 14 million deaths by 2030.

The question we need to ask is what is the real reason for the sudden massive need for data centers everywhere?

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

I’ve heard it said that it takes around 17 years in order for health findings to truly impact mainstream practices, which I suppose means we’re just another 10 years away from people realizing they should really try to avoid catching Covid repeatedly.

My friend the climatologist tells me what worries him is the climate. My friend the epidemiologist tells me what worries them are infections. My friend the historian tells me what worries her are the people who aren’t worried.

I know, my friend, that change can be difficult, and wearing a mask and taking precautions will require you to make changes, but considering that a study has found “Long COVID may be triggering Alzheimer’s-like changes in the brain,” it seems you can change or you can be changed.

I’ve noticed that too. Lots of people working in vacuums. It feels disingenuous and sloppy. So important to recognize whose shoulders we stand on. Basic feminist praxis.

My mother who has Alzheimer’s is in a care home nursing ward in the UK. Her predominantly immigrant carers are wonderful, gentle, kind, and humane people who treat her with dignity and respect. They are short-staffed, under-paid, work long shifts. They also support my Dad who visits daily.
