@cf_wing I'm sure Lyn understands, but she'd remind you to take care of yourself too!

Every year I make an FE Pride post and every year I bleed followers because of it.

Call it spring cleaning, I guess 🤷

The reason people don’t understand the scale of Long Covid is because no one speaks of Covid anymore.

Millions are chronically ill and disabled.

Diagnosed with new health conditions.

It’s just not always labeled “Long Covid”.

Wear a mask. Clean the air. Protect your health.

I've been thinking about this a lot:
"The beauty of anti-racism is that you don't have to pretend to be free of racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself. And that's the only way forward."

The problem with people like me is I will raise the alarm & go there when it comes to pathogens & parasites. I will warn everyone over & over again on repeat without tiring—for years—but that’s where I make others uncomfortable, & so they break my spirit. People don’t like warnings & they don’t like the truth. It’s too much, I’ve always been too much. We are The Warners, The Cassandras if you will, & we’ve been steamrolled & abused so y’all can pretend everything is fine & kill off your families for billionaires. Even if you break our spirits, we’re going to continue warning you & reminding you we had a choice to do things different. This is why we are here. Have a nice day. Be kind. Don’t attack the people who care about all the humans.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline.

“Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet.*

Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming.**

Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”***

* in 1937, Guy Callendar published a paper showing that the world had already warmed over the last 50 years due to human emissions what he called “carbonic acid“ – what we now call CO2 – from burning fossil fuels

** If you are wondering, “how could humans be causing more than 100% of the warming?”

— it’s because, according to natural factors, the earth should be cooling right now.

So our emissions are offsetting that cooling AND causing all of the observed warming.

Excess deaths show the answer is COVID.

It's not the lockdowns, masks, screen time, "diet" or anything else they are distracting you with.

The answer is fucking COVID.

Ronny Chieng’s speech at Harvard

“Ai is just going to make mediocre people dumber”

Truer words have never been spoken

This is how you give a graduation speech!

Masking was once standard for patients and staff in medical facilities caring for immunocompromised patients.

Masking is not political. It is simply a tool to stay safe. 😷

Saying "during Covid" and meaning 2020 is like saying "during Trump" and meaning when he was on The Apprentice.

[tern @1goodtern]

Because they can see the mask, but they can't see Covid.

The CDC is seeking volunteers to help screen for Ebola in US airports.

We had a good run.

[Michael Kamm - Ouros Out Now (iOS, Android, Steam) @GRdotGIF]

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero.

Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone.

I hope this video clears that up.

Anyone who says "summers have always been like this" is lying.

Night time averages are up.
Day time averages are up.
Highest temperatures are up.
Lowest temperatures are up.
Heatwaves are higher and cover more area.

The deniers are liars.

"Hospital-acquired COVlD looks both more common and more deadly than strict surveillance definitions suggest."

I find this tension readily apparent in oncology, where those who know the COVlD literature take it extremely seriously. Everyone else does not.

[David Fisman @DFisman]

New paper out in BMC Infectious Diseases, led by Natalie Wilson with Alicia Grima and Clara Lee: how we define hospital-acquired COVID changes whether we see its true mortality burden, and most common definitions hide it. 🧵

[tern @1goodtern]

I hope people understand the gravity of this.
