Hey Mac users, if downloading your X archive gets you only a README file, it may be because Safari is stripping out the rest. Switching browsers should get you the goods (h/t dtfulsom on r/Twitter)

FWIW, shipping to me was $20. A friend is a repeat customer.

U.S. Archivist Colleen Shogan leads the National Archives, which oversees billions of government documents, photos, & records. But instead of educating the public about WWII incarceration & other dark chapters of American history, Shogan has spent the last year erasing history.

I urged them to protect themselves- wear masks, ventilate, get the vaccine booster. A student asked why she should get it if it didn’t stop her from getting Covid. I told her that it would decrease the severity of the disease and likely reduce her risk of long Covid. 11

You're being lied to. And if you use Twitter for news, you're just a node in Elon's fascist plan to steal this election.

Barely 1% of Germans were Jewish in 1935.

Carving off a tiny, politically weak, marginalized group and weaponizing hatred and fear of them to create a scapegoat for all the nation's ills is literally Step 1 in the fascism playbook.

I kind of feel like this is a huge unseen factor with recognition of long COVID and chronic illness more generally. People show up for the things they need to (work, meetings, dropping off the kids, school, etc) but have no energy left for leisure and social life.

Oh no, my hand slipped and I accidentally provided a resource for all my artist friends on how to poison their art against this. How clumsy of me.

if you saw that notice about a Terms of Service update, this is the main clause it changed.

it explicitly lets twitter use your posts and any attached media — including images, videos, and their audio — for the training of AI models like Grok.

it will be in effect November 15.

I made my plan to vote.

Today, I’m heading over to a new early voting location at @NashvilleHealth Lentz Public Health Center to vote.

They’ve got free #COVID test kits and free gun locks.

Have you made your plan?

[Katrina Green MD, FAAEM (she/her) @KGreenMD]

A few folks coming out of the Inglewood Community center said their voting machines switched their votes from Harris to Trump. They had to press several times to get their selection of Harris to register. Double check your ballot before you put it in the scanner!

Peak poster presentation energy 🤣

The sociological cost of forgetting 🧶

What we now recognize as post-viral fatigue syndrome had a name a century ago.

As a society, we have not learned from history because we are seduced by the fallacy of immediate recovery.

In addition to children being allowed back with COVID if they don’t have a fever and now with lice, the Academy of Pediatricians suggests older children may be able to manage “mild diarrhea” at school.

A diarrhea scale is provided to help decide.

@broadwaybabyto That’s exactly what this is all about - attendance and funding. It’s pretty despicable how far they’re willing to go down the medieval path.

Every time I see “post pandemic” like this article, I feel enraged. How did it end? What did it?

@ScholerinED Sibley Hospital, Washington DC. Use caution if disabled, chronically ill, immune compromised, avoiding COVID reinfection. 1000x if any of above & person of color, or part of any disenfranchised community. I had language few others know to use & still could barely advocate for me.
