For @xtramagazine.com, I spoke to organizers of the trans joy rally outside Barclays before the Liberty/Fever game, as well as the organizers of the “Trans People Belong in Sports” sign distribution inside the arena: “We believe that fans made this league, so fans can lead the way.”

From organizing a “Trans Joy Rally” to handing out supportive signs at games, fans aren't letting anti-trans discourse define the league

The transphobic nightmare the WNBA is currently facing is the result of a massive failure of leadership. If Cathy wasn’t going to be out of a job after the CBA negotiations, this should be the nail in her coffin as commissioner imo.

You wouldn't know it from this article, but the most likely bad outcome from a covid infection for most people who read it is #LongCovid. At this point it's journalistic malpractice to pretend otherwise.

I guess people are talking about Craig Brittain so why not donate to the Gaza fundraiser that he labeled as a scam? The family this supports (real friends of mine) are such nice people that I assume they made his evil little head explode. Linktree.com/thanksformasking

So FYI this asshole @craigbrittain.com is weaponizing their huge following to put accounts like mine on "Zionists" and "Fake Palestine Scam" lists. Never heard of this person but I guess I'm evil for *checks notes* mailing out stickers at my own expense for someone else's fundraiser.

If you think children or teens only suffered because of online learning, but not because their own health has been devastatingly compromised or because they lost family members to Covid, then I don’t know what to say to you.

Hot take: surveillance capitalism is bad AND a good chunk of the anti-fitness tracker discourse is fueled by the same kind of chronic illness denial that keeps pushing "brain retraining." Like no, actually, POTS is not a social contagion and heart rate tracking does not cause symptoms.

Six years since the start of COVID and this type of misinformation by omission is still rampant. The best protection against airborne pathogens is wearing a high quality mask.

What is the biggest infectious disease risk at World Cup matches?

Health experts say the more realistic worry is about respiratory diseases like the cold, flu, RSV, and COVID. These spread readily through the air—via coughs and sneezes—especially in crowded conditions. Many stadiums are outdoors, which helps cut down on transmission, but being in tight quarters next to someone who is sick could make you sick as well.

How can I protect myself from getting sick?

It's advice you've heard since childhood, but doctors say the best defense against germs is washing your hands. Traditional soap and water work on a number of levels, from the physical removal and destruction of microbes on your hands to cleaning away any dirt and grime.

Can't say I love it when "covid conscious" people use brain damage as a "why are things bad now" argument. That's eugenics!! Disabled people did not cause whatever issue you're mad about. Capitalism and white supremacy predate 2019 and covid just provided a new opportunity for bad shit. Do better!!

As a former full-time freelancer, one aspect that is aggravating about the Long Covid/Wired feature is how hard it is to get longform features accepted at publications. Like, this likely passed an editor's meeting, not just one person accepting a pitch.

In the late 1800s, the morgue was one of the most popular attractions in Paris. People of all classes would line up to see dead bodies of crime victims that they'd read about in the newspaper. It got so popular that as the bodies decomposed, limbs were replaced with wax replicas.
