Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

[Zdenek Vrozina @ZdenekVrozina]

This is the central point.
These MRI findings do not prove irreversible damage.
But they suggest that after COVID, some people may not simply return to baseline.
Their brain may reorganize.
And we do not yet know whether that reorganization is temporary, protective, incomplete, or maladaptive.

Fascism relies, in part, on getting you to dissociate from vulnerable emotions. It’s much easier to tolerate or even participate in dehumanization once you no longer feel human yourself, and that’s exactly what’s going on if your feelings of full-body joy and grief are gone.

books are amazing because a stranger from 200 years ago can still ruin your afternoon emotionally.

There is so much forgotten DIY music from the mid 2000s and 2010’s. It’s crazy. So many touring bands selling CDR’s, xeroxed tapes and homemade t shirts at their shows. None of it online or preserved. People today have no idea

[thomas @nnepenthes]

this hipster music talk rn is the greatest opportunity a lot of young people will have to check out bands that otherwise might have slipped through the cracks of both alt poptimism sites and rymcore lists. don’t waste it. press play on an album by Austra or Gang Gang Dance

We’re a primary care practice in Vermont. We implemented a practice-wide protocol screening every patient at every encounter for recent SARS-CoV-2 infection history. What we’re observing in our panel is not consistent with a psychosomatic framework.

We’re seeing measurable, objective increases in new-onset hypertension, acute cardiovascular events, new-onset allergic disease, and new-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus, all temporally correlated with infection history. These are not symptom reports. These are clinical findings.

This is the article to amplify this week.

“Long COVID confirmed a difficult reality: modern healthcare systems are optimized for diseases that can be rapidly diagnosed, categorized, and treated — not illnesses that require uncertainty tolerance, longitudinal care, and deep listening.”

Long COVID Changed Everything https://t.co/oo6pNxyR1q

I’d like to add: if you meet a new friend later in life, come out of the closet, accept your gender identity, move to a new city, lose a job…

…Make “teenager-style” memories. As much as you can. They’re the ones that stick

[˗ˏˋ ´ˎ˗ @lapislagoons]

if you meet someone later in life who you want to be with long term, you have to make a point to make teenager style memories with them

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

The reason we think dandelions are weeds is because of a 1950s marketing campaign.

Dandelions, native to Europe and Asia, were brought to North America in the 1600s by European colonists who grew them deliberately.

Every part is edible. The leaves are a salad green, the flowers were made into wine, and the roots were roasted as a coffee substitute and used medicinally for liver and kidney conditions for thousands of years. They were a kitchen-garden staple well into the 1800s.

The shift happened after World War II, when 2,4-D (originally developed for chemical warfare research) was approved as a residential herbicide. Companies like Scotts built the modern lawn-care industry around the idea that a perfect green lawn meant zero broadleaf plants.

Dandelions, being bright yellow and resistant to mowing, became a visible enemy, and the campaign worked. By the 1970s, "dandelion-free" was synonymous with "well-kept."

They aren't native, but they aren't doing significant ecological harm either. The herbicides used to kill them, on the other hand, kill bees, contaminate groundwater, and have been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma in humans.

If you hate dandelions, it's most likely due to a marketing campaign that ran before you were born.

A burning tire can be put out. A knocked-over barricade can be set back in place. A broken window can be repaired.

The destruction of civil and human rights lasts long after the smoke clears and the glass is replaced.
