@StaxRL I don't know what you're sick with, but COVID and long COVID can cause a type of brain fog that presents very similarly to ADHD in terms of how it affects the memory (as well as risk-taking/impulsive behaviors). Maybe try checking out some ADHD resources for more tips?

@StaxRL I keep an incredibly detailed calendar and to-do list. Important tasks go on my Google Tasks so they show up on my Google Calendar visually, other to-do list items go on a separate list that I look at every morning. Visual cues and reminders are an absolute must.

A distraught friend yesterday boiled it down perfectly:

"If we won, we'd be celebrating how many of them would get healthcare, education, or student loans canceled. But they won, and they're celebrating how many of us they get to kill."

Tells the whole story, doesn't it?

trump supporters are always like “i hope you don’t hate me because of who i voted for” but based on who you voted for, i’m pretty sure you hate me

@hillsandmonster Sure, here you go!

If you're writing about declining health, drop in cognition, rapid rise in disability, etc, and you don't even consider the hypothesis that it could be due to a virus that is known to do those things and continues to infect nearly everyone repeatedly, your article will be absurd.

@binoftweets Hullo! You can listen to my demo and other samples on my website:

@StumpyGoblin Were the casters and production folks etc. paid?

This is why high risk people are screaming that healthcare isn’t safe.

Imagine telling someone with a positive covid test to come to work with vulnerable & high risk patients? Especially when masking isn’t enforced or required?

This is what we risk when we seek healthcare.

The number of times that I miss my mouth with food and drinks is so embarrassing 🤦🏼‍♀️

The Reality of COVID-19: It’s Not Just the Flu, and Ignoring It Won’t Protect You

When I started my career, I believed exercise would play a key role in slowing cognitive aging and combating neurological diseases. Even with breakthroughs like Ozempic for weight loss, I knew the benefits of staying physically active for brain health were irreplaceable.

Then came a global pandemic, disrupting everything—yet what’s more astonishing is the collective denial of a simple truth: COVID-19 is an airborne pathogen that can cause cognitive impairment and neurological damage. Even now, most people—including those in health behavior change and brain health research—aren't taking precautions.

The science is undeniable. COVID-19 doesn’t just harm the immunocompromised—it can *create* immunocompromised states through immune exhaustion. It causes cardiovascular damage, neurological impairment, and post-exertional fatigue in both children and adults. And yes, it can lead to long-term cognitive issues, similar to Alzheimer’s disease.

For example:
- 90% of kids with Long COVID showed abnormal cardiopulmonary exercise testing results.

- Researchers have found Alzheimer’s-like brain changes in Long COVID patients.

Yet people are still gathering in unfiltered rooms, unmasked, inhaling viral-laden aerosols. It’s shocking how quickly we’ve normalized this reckless behavior. This isn’t just a matter of personal risk. By not masking, you’re dismissing mountains of evidence and gambling with your brain and lifespan. COVID can trigger neurological disorders, cardiovascular damage, and immune dysfunction.

The bottom line: You’re not immune. COVID doesn't care about wishful thinking. Just because billions are pretending it’s over, doesn’t mean you have to risk your future. The science is clear: protect your brain, your body, and your life. Don’t wait until it's too late to get back on the reality train.
