Are you sick of bazillionaires deciding how media works? Donate to @npr (or my local @WBUR).

I am still seeing way too many #LongCovid patients who had a very active lifestyle continuously trying to exercise regularly while feeling horrendous. Please decouple general health recommendations for otherwise healthy individuals from #LC - your body needs that energy resource for basic functions. You are likely to make yourself worse long term.

My neighbor
doesn’t understand
what the big deal is
it’s been years
and though he takes
no precautions
he hasn’t caught it
sure, he’s had a flu
five times in two years
and his daughter
can’t beat her cold
but he doesn’t understand
he just doesn’t understand
what the big deal is

Dear Third Grade Parents and Guardians,

We love our #diverse #school population! In order to celebrate our #diversity, we will be having a Tishrei Holidays Around the World #festival in class.

@hecubian_devil Especially in an age where so many people delight in violating the basic ways we keep each other safe, I think signaling "I'm following the expectation of simply letting you go about your day" is reassuring.

Stop asking candidates if they “believe in” climate change and start asking if they understand it.

It’s science, not Santa Claus.

In addition to flash flooding, there is the potential of scattered severe storms today. The main threats would be from damaging winds and a few tornadoes.

Among the lesser-known aspects of MA’s acute housing crisis are the myriad wait lists low-income residents go on to become eligible for a subsidized home… dozens of different lists — each maintained by a local housing authority or nonprofit.” 1/2

I’ve been lucky enough to see Gabe and Angel’s work up-close. I’m grateful that their work, and the work of their colleagues, is being highlighted. For those who say “nothing is being done to help people at Mass and Cass”, educate yourselves. https://t.co/dvae7cEsQw
