From Kyle, Dianna’s husband:

Two years ago, I married my smart, adventurous, curious best friend. I loved her curiosity and so did her 3M+ followers on her Science YouTube channel.

Now, she’s been 100% bedbound with long Covid for 1.5 years. She lays in a dark room, earplugs in, with only her mind and simple thoughts to keep her company. No, she can’t talk, watch TV, read books, listen to podcasts or even music. She can’t tolerate visitors (even the faint smell of laundry detergent makes her sicker). It’s a kind of locked-in hell and there’s currently no cure for this disease.

We desperately need more funding for research to find the cure for #longcovid and #MECFS . @SenDuckworth @SenMarkey @timkaine @BernieSanders

and as we're all collectively being traumatized by living in a hyper-digital, always-on, Capitalistic Hellscape. ™ I'm sorry, folks — it just doesn't make sense! Everyone, even the ones that used to be our heroes, are just in it for the money anymore.

So not to sound fresh out of the Good ol’ Boy's Club, but remember when you had to be a photojournalist to be a photographer at National Geographic?

[Niki Walker @walker_niki_]

This rage started inside of me tonight because @NatGeo just let an *extremely* talented, hard working, one of a kind photojournalist LEAVE, after four years, because she had to leave Washington, DC. One of the most expensive, insane cities in the country; after a pandemic...

I have so much respect and admiration for the folks I worked with at NPR — and Alicia's article is a really worthwhile read. 👏

Yoga with Adrienne is what Americans have instead of universal healthcare.
