It seems that the whole country is starting to go into a form of mini lockdown: schools closing, GPs closing, hospitals closing, no doubt many other things too: and we've only just started this wave–bear that in mind. THIS IS JUST THE START.

If you're angry and terrified about what's happening in Texas, you can send a message to the agency Greg Abbott is trying to weaponize against trans kids and their families demanding they reject this hateful and lawless order.

“A broken heart is a bigger heart; the more we let our hearts break, the bigger they become. And I think if we let it happen over and over and over again, that by the end of our lives, we’ll hopefully be on our deathbed…just…a heart.” – Andrew Garfield

I know more people with #LongCovid from the Omicron wave than any other point.

Some hadn't known about Long Covid before getting sick, & are now confused and furious that they weren't warned this could happen.

The constant calculus of whether a place or activity is safe enough, and whether the risk of infection is worth it, in addition to navigating the issues of my pre-existing disability, is just a LOT, y’all. It’s really hard to be a person right now.

Hey just, FYI for restaurant workers and many other industries bosses are absolutely telling their staff to come into work even when they are still positive for Covid. This is becoming very common practice.

Anyone use any everyday-type ear plugs or noise cancelling earbuds that you'd recommend? Not like the cheap ones for sleeping. I have over-ear headphones but am looking into options that are smaller and less conspicuous....something I could wear even in social settings

Can’t think of another usage of “mild” to mean “fatal in some cases”
