Woman opposite me is T9 texting on a flip phone at the speed of sound. To see a traditional skill, a near-lost art like that demonstrated with such virtuoso takes the breath away.
The latest US literacy stats have just dropped and they are every bit as grim as you might imagine.
"Approximately 50% of Americans read so poorly that they are unable to perform simple tasks such as reading prescription drug labels"
EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus) is often unspoken about, but it’s linked to many chronic conditions, including POTS.
EBV lies dormant in the body but reactivates during times of stress or illness, like COVID.
Each time it reactivates, it releases toxins that can harm your body.
Some strains of EBV can cross the blood-brain barrier, causing serious issues in the nervous system and even replicating in the CNS, disrupting the blood-brain barrier’s integrity.
When EBV stays dormant, it typically doesn’t cause issues, but reactivation after reactivation can lead to bigger problems.
My blood work shows EBV reactivation in 2018 and 2023. While my doctor can’t say for certain if EBV caused my POTS, we know it worsened after a COVID infection and EBV reactivation.
If you haven’t been wearing a mask in public because the govt told you covid was over,

I got such harsh and disbelieving responses when I said “Covid causes AIDS”, and I get the gut reaction because you just think of HIV, but like what does AIDS stand for? Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. And what does Covid do? Acquire you, say it with me, an Immunodeficiency.
If they had a lick of sense and an ounce of bravery they would go scorched earth in these final months. Lost the presidency and the senate? Just do it. But I don’t think they have it in them.
She destroys him in a debate, so badly that he won’t debate again. He bungles his way through absurd rallies. He insults more than half the population. He wants to implement appalling policies. And the election is razor thin. This country is INSANE.
when i was about 14 i promised myself that i wouldn’t forget how completely powerless and isolating it felt to be a kid. i still freeze when i hear somebody walking outside my bedroom because my dad broke the lock off my door when i was a teenager
The five day work week is not sustainable. You work eight hours a day, five days a week, and by the time the weekend gets here, you’re so exhausted but you have other things to do like chores and groceries and errands. Where’s the day to literally relax?
“housewife” this “1950s” that….. my bitch in christ they were giving those ladies drugs and lobotomies because they were so depressed and unhappy with their lives i am going to beat the shit out of you
Hold up you’re telling me that by the 3rd time I get COVID, there’s a 1 in 2.5 chance I develop life-changing chronic illness ⁉️⁉️
Uhhh CDC wtf?? Y’all were on TV every night in 2021, where you at with this?! Did you fuck up?? (1/2)
Once again here to remind you that this is STANDARD TIME and the shift you’re experiencing is due to time being altered by daylight savings, which is made up and not the real time.
Thank you.
