Two indie podcasts I wanna plug!
1. Flashforward @flashforwardpod is doing their final season on dementia & it's incredibly thought-provoking
2. Lingthusiasm @lingthusiasm is a linguistics podcast that I've learnt a lot about signed languages from

Masking is a radical act of love.

#BringBackMasks

[Kimiko Shibata 🦋 @ESL_fairy]

Most high risk folks I know never stopped masking. But one-way masking is sadly not enough to keep us all safe. It’s time to #BringBackMasks in indoor spaces. Vaccines alone will not be able to get us through cold and flu season AND this 8th COVID wave.

Overheard someone say “It seems like Covid is coming back” at the grocery store today, and I was very pleased to hear a lady reply “it never went anywhere my dear, and you should be wearing a mask”. You can be proud of a stranger right?

…and #BringBackMasks is trending again. And yes, I will tweet about it every time it goes viral because the more people who wear fitted masks the more preventable infections, #LongCovid, and deaths we can stop 🛑 ✋

Today I met with officials in Helsinki, which has had a ~75% drop in road deaths over the last thirty years (including recent years with no ped/cyclist deaths at all).

Me: “How much of a role has IT played in reducing crashes?”

City official: “Zero. We simply slowed down cars.”

@lexiconvalley @JohnHMcWhorter Thanks for the episode. I don't see the name of the symphony that was in the episode, trying to find it now to hear the whole thing!

I am one of these 2-4M Americans. I’m a 30 something highly educated professional completely unable to work the legal job I love for 14 mos & counting (or parent my kid or care for myself independently for that matter). We need treatments for #LongCovid #MECFS NOW! #NotRecovered

[💜 Brandy @longcovid25]

Over two and half years suffering from #longcovid . We are still #NotRecovered . We need treatments. Covid is not over and either is the potential for you to get debilitating symptoms from it. Everyone should care care about a cure for long Covid.

One of my students is in the news! @electroweak was interviewed by APS about whether we should build quantum computers given their dubious benefits to society: https://t.co/PE1b9J36uj
