no one wants to acknowledge the amount of cognitive dysfunction repeat covid infections causes and how it’s contributing to this crisis tho. these kids have all had this shit multiple times as their little brains are trying to develop and no one wants to come to terms w that
As a healthy person you have some kinda frame on how losing your health works. Like standing still or sitting are easier than walking. But then you learn that non of this makes sense with some illnesses. And it makes you lose a lot of credibility.

This is so interesting because I’ve noticed in 3 different sets of my friends and their sisters (including me) the older sisters are all slimmer, healthier, and more energetic while all of us younger sisters are plumper, more inflamed, and more sickly in comparison
“Exposure to respiratory viruses before a baby’s first birthday — when immune systems are immature and before most childhood vaccinations — consistently predicted reduced earnings, education and health decades later.”
a bus every 6-7 minutes is the entire secret of good transit. no schedule, no app, you just show up. the kids have been screaming the answer at us for over a year. six seveeen. headways. they're talking about headways
I think about lot of Americans are too financially stressed to care but also something about the bombardment of continuous fascism has made everyone emotionally shut off
Long Covid threatens too many systems at once: labor policy, disability systems, infection-control(/narratives), health-care capacity, psychiatric and functional medicine turf, public-health credibility, and economic normalization. When a disease is expensive to acknowledge, institutions($$$$) tend to invest in disease explanations that offload liability: Stress. Beliefs. Deconditioning. Anxiety. Maladaptive nervous system patterns. These explanations may describe one layer of illness, but they also conveniently relocate responsibility back into the patient. This also happened with ME/CFS and HIV/AIDS.
This is one of the invisible costs of an unaffordable economy that is being absorbed by young women
You aren't serious about bringing down domestic violence rates if you aren't making independent living easily attainable from as young as 18
Some of y’all aren’t scared enough about running out of potable water. We need it to survive, our pets and farms do too. Data centres are using it up and wasting it. They project we could run out by 2039. Thirteen years. Stop asking AI questions, it’s not worth it.
Exactly, people who have no power have children so they can reign over their household, Foucault breaks down the necessity for the traditional family unit as a system of control. If every man gets to be the “king” in his home he won’t bother to enter competition w his oppressor
I wonder when women will realize that being a "bigger person" will never get us out of this mess. You can't secure safety by being kind to someone who has nothing but malice toward you.
It is suffocating how thoroughly billionaires are destroying life on earth, from murdering the people of Palestine and Sudan and Lebanon and Cuba, to hunting immigrants, to destroying ecosystems and lands and wildlife populations. Just endless destruction
Can we all please wake up and realise that the falling birth rates are actually the CORRECT birth rates. More women are just finally having babies only when they want to, not when they are forced to.
That’s cuz the data point no one freaking out about it actually cares to look at is that women have never actually WANTED to kids at the rate they were having them. Meaning sure, there’s women who want kids, many kids even, but plenty more never wanted to and now they have CHOICE
It's because everyone is in denial of the ongoing nature of it + also lies a lot about how they experienced the early days of the pandemic. You cannot reckon with reality while refusing to engage with it and rewriting history, you just can't.
Climate change denialism is such an obvious farce that it now requires Republicans to actively sabotage our data collection systems, fire hundreds of atmospheric scientists and oceanographers, and censor research.
