I still just cannot understand how the General Public has completely forgotten that there was a time when everybody wasn't sick all the time. Much less during the summer months.

The tweet below includes the most succinct description of Covid-19 I have seen…

It’s a vascular disease that depletes your immune response and causes neurological damage.

(Which means it’s not ‘just a cold’, btw.)

#covid Mass General, an excellent hospital, just released the findings of their study that concluded one in six Americans who got Covid now have Long Covid. This should stop everyone in their tracks but it won't because we've lost our fucking minds from having Covid repeatedly.

if a doctor who graduated medical school says you need something, it should be illegal for someone sitting behind an insurance desk with absolutely zero medical training to deny you coverage...

doctors are like, "but surely you'd feel safe to unmask around ME, the guy who is professionally obligated to be face-to-face with sick people all day every day?"

I wasn't too worried about hantavirus until this morning when I heard the director general of the WHO say "our best immunity is solidarity"

That's the one thing we don't have my guy

[tern @1goodtern]

I'm just going to say it again once, as simply as I can, for everyone who is slow to understand this:

Covid infection damages the vascular endothelium, the delicate lining inside your blood vessels.

Hantavirus *targets* the vascular endothelium.

Quarantining during a public health threat is not a punishment.

It’s not a violation of your freedoms.

It’s part of being in a society.

You do not have the right to spread a dangerous and deadly disease to others.

Robust public health measures save lives.

[ᴘᴏᴛᴀᴛᴜᴍ @pot8um]

normalize masking in all public places

masking belongs in healthcare

fight for clean air

the paradigm shift began in 2020 and it's not optional

protect yourselves & loved ones by wearing a respirator

we're being failed globally every single goddamn day

we're all we have

“I can’t do another pandemic.” Really? Because most of you haven’t cared about the current one that’s been happening for six years now. Covid causes cancer, embolisms, strokes, and heart attacks, and you can’t be bothered to mask with THAT.

The Afroman Trial.

-Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons.
-Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up.
-No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman.
-Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras.
-Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives.
-During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat.
-The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation.
-Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit.
-Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them.
-One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife.
-As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE.
-The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman.

This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.

Turning theory into identity may lead us to “move the patient into a passive role by having a predetermined answer instead of working mutually with the patient to unearth the answer”.

[Jonathan Shedler @JonathanShedler]

“More and more people are in individual talk therapy, learning a new vocabulary to apply to their lives.”
—Olga Khazan, The Atlantic

This is exactly what should NOT happen in psychotherapy. If a patient comes out of therapy with a slew of new vocabulary words or speaking in “therapy speak,” something has gone terribly wrong.

Skilled therapists sound like people, not like therapists. People who get good therapy come out of it sounding more like themselves, not more like someone else.
