social worker - sociologist - wannabe activist - don‘t fall for COVID minimizers

Es ist nicht immer einfach nur ‚links‘ ‚rechts‘ oder sogar ‚mitte‘

Es ist in erster Linie, denkt man an alle Menschen oder nur an sich und ‚seine‘ Menschen

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

I’ve been asked many times over why I keep posting when so many of the replies I receive are personal attacks.

The answer is actually really simple.

As scientists, we cannot concede to silence. If we do, we leave space for disinformation to fill the void. and it will.

Science doesn’t advance by being the loudest voice. But it does depend on people willing to keep speaking out - even and perhaps especially during the most difficult chapters.

🚨 Stop calling them 'highest temperature records' as if they deserve a prize, and start calling them what they are: highest temperature catastrophes.

Das Parteienverbot steht nicht ohne Grund im Grundgesetz. Daraus erwächst uns allen ein Auftrag: Es anzuwenden, wenn und wo es geboten ist. Das Gutachten der GFF bestätigt eindrücklich: Die AfD ist eine gefährliche Partei. (1/6)

Nous ne pouvons pas laisser une génération entière découvrir l’intelligence artificielle sans lui donner les clés pour la comprendre, et donc la maîtriser.

À partir de la rentrée 2027 et sous l'impulsion du Ministre Edouard Geffray, tous les élèves de seconde bénéficieront d’un enseignement dédié à l’IA, à raison d’une heure par semaine intégrée au cours de sciences numériques et technologie.

Fonctionnement des modèles, usages, éthique, souveraineté numérique, esprit critique face aux manipulations et aux fausses informations : notre école doit préparer les jeunes au monde qui vient.

Former à l’IA et réduire l’exposition aux écrans participent d’une même ambition : faire de nos élèves des citoyens libres, autonomes. Condition de notre souveraineté collective.

@mel__aura Über goldene Statuen hätte er sich wahrscheinlich mehr gefreut. Nicht einmal angemessen beschenken, ist drin…

@fostokes @USA_Polling That‘s the worst part

I don't think that every problem is caused by Covid.
I think many problems are made worse by Covid.

Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare

Importantly, detailed investigations into this Andes Virus outbreak in Argentina in 2018 clearly revealed that multiple transmissions had taken place WITHOUT CLOSE CONTACT.

The table below summarises the circumstances of these transmissions ⬇️

Most men who idealize the "tradwife" don't want to be "trad husbands". They want to be normie husbands married to trad wives.

They want a wife who wakes up early to bake bread while they spend the Saturday playing video games. The burden of trad is offloaded onto the wife.

Why do people psychologize Long COVID? Why have people psychologized ME/CFS for decades?

I have been thinking about this for a long time, and I think I finally figured it out.

It's not that doctors are stupid or cruel. It's that the alternative to "you're crazy" is "our entire society is organized in a way that sacrifices people like you, and we know it, and we've decided the cost of fixing it is too high."

Psychologization isn't a diagnostic error. It's a defense mechanism. Not for the patient, but for society.

If a common virus can destroy a healthy person's life, then every school, every office, every restaurant, every airplane is a potential site of life-altering harm.

That's an intolerable reality for a society built on the assumption that showing up is safe. So the person who got destroyed becomes the anomaly. The anxious one. The one with pre-existing vulnerabilities. The one whose personality predisposed them. Anything to keep the virus from being the cause, because if the virus is the cause, then every subsequent infection is a policy choice.

A lot more people have Long Covid than know it.

I’ve talked about it before, but:

1. My health is better in my 30s than it was in my 20s; the only major variable changed is my 😷 - it’s like I’m aging in reverse.

2. Modern respirators are far comfier & more stylish than the crap we had in 2020.

3. Pollution protection, too!
