I highlighted the most important part of yesterday’s Nature paper. We’re in year six. Can you please stop saying “during the pandemic” and “post-Covid”? You sound dangerously uninformed or just really stupid when you say it.

Right, I don't think it will stop him from getting anything done, because I don't see who would use it as a check against him? Not his own party, not the supreme court.

Just like the “male loneliness epidemic” the imbalance in men going to college is entirely their own doing. A whole generation has decided to make themselves uneducated and unfuckable because they’re addicted to resentment. Manosphere influencers line their pockets by ensuring they stay that way.

Implicit in a lot of anti-vaccination and anti-public health narratives like those of RFK Jr is a deep disgust/fear of disability; but also an unspoken hope that unchecked disease will "cull" the population of "weaker/less fit" people. I really just can't see past a lot of that.

Thinking of all the disabled folks having a lonely holiday season bc ppl couldn't be bothered with COVID precautions, the space wasn't accessible, funds are tight, you need the time off to recover, ppl are disappointed you're not who you used to be, invitations are simply no longer forthcoming, etc.

Masking makes spaces more accessible for the medically vulnerable. It’s amazing to me how many good and decent people know this and just don’t do it. Misinformation, propaganda, the Democratic Party have done a number on our ability to reason our way out of being just to disabled folks.

As an Indian, my contempt for (rich white) anti-vaxxers in the west is so deep I often cannot quite find the words to express my contempt. I grew up seeing polio-disabled children and adults crawling over rubble and roads in India. My father worked for the Pulse Polio program. What is happening?
