BTW many people who still wear a mask to mitigate the on-going pandemic are not shocked or surprised by this.
99.99% of you abandoned infection control when the same institutions minimizing climate change told you that the pandemic was over.
What really fucking boils my piss is that we had the opportunity to change the world after Covid. The pandemic produced a fascinating real-world experiment. It demonstrated that human activity can alter emissions and local environmental conditions extraordinarily quickly
the quiet part of the hatred for dinklage that nobody says out loud, is that nobody would ever hire a little person for a role that didnt specifically require them.
thats the steelman for his position: "hey, you could hire us for literally any role"
The law should be: If the doctor is recommending it, it should be ILLEGAL for the insurance companies to deny it without appealing to a board of physicians. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND
I love shaming rude people in public. The guy in front of me at the train station ticket window was raising his voice and I just went "ugh imagine it was your husband yelling at a teenage cashier" to the lady standing behind me and he suddenly knew how to speak like an adult.

18 year old straight A university student gets Covid 6 months ago and now has severe Long Covid.
Family keeps telling her she just had a cold and she is faking it. She had to withdraw from classes, can't focus, memory gone, dissociation, visual snow.

My parents keep telling me to just break my apartment lease and not pay bc there’s a bad mold problem. My dad said he had to do it several times in his youth and it was fine. I asked if it was before credit scores and they shut up after that.
A new and extremely dangerous nightmare is unfolding in Gaza City, yet almost no one in the world is paying attention.
Massive sand berms are being built behind the line established during the war, with some reportedly reaching up to 30 meters in height. According to satellite imagery and videos that have circulated publicly, these earthworks continue to expand, while more than 70% of the Gaza Strip now falls within or beyond this area.
We are literally living inside a tightly sealed prison. We cannot leave, people cannot enter, and patients are unable to travel for medical treatment. We are trapped by land, sea, and air, while the space where more than two million people can live continues to shrink day after day.
How is all of this happening? Where is the ceasefire we were promised? Where are the commitments to improve the humanitarian situation? What we see on the ground does not reflect hope it reflects a reality that is becoming more difficult with every passing day.
We cannot continue living like this. An entire city cannot be left to face this fate while the world watches in silence.
