I value empathy & I’m finding it challenging currently…with all the research we now have access to, thinking ahead 15 or 20yrs, what are science-literate people planning to tell their kids…sorry about your lifetime of illness, but people made fun so we went maskless?! Sorry for the snark.

Though it is day, the sun cannot be seen in Tehran today because of all the smoke following the US and Israel bombing Tehran's oil refineries. People on the ground describe it as armageddon.

History will not forgive Reza Pahlavi, Masih Alinejad, Nazanin Boniadi, and all other "leaders" who tricked Iranians into thinking this war would set them free.

Oh my god: this is *daytime* in Tehran.

Do delicate mystical creatures suffer from sleep apnea?
Gentle snores emanate from a fuzzy radiator bed, slung low with a beast too big to fit properly.
I suppose I can forgive the perpetual perfume of piss.

The trees are still asleep.
Some day, soon, I’ll wake up congested, my eyes will water, my lungs will heave;
And out the window, I’ll be awed by the sight of blossoms and wonder when they arrived.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Long-COVID Sufferer Awarded Nearly $1M After Employer Refused to Let Her Work From Home | Law.com A jury in Nassau County awarded $954,000 to a longtime employee of Stony Brook University Hospital Blood Bank.

A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations.

May this set a precedent.

Remote work should be accessible to all who need it.

It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: β€˜your leaders aren’t right for you,’ β€˜we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

Cutting off Medicaid to Minnesota is social murder.

People will die without healthcare.

People will become disabled without healthcare.

This is a policy choice meant to inflict maximum suffering.

Healthcare is a human right.

Democracy is dying in America.

ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.

We need real leaders - not career politicians.

Measles was wiped out in the U.S. 25 years ago and now we’re already past 1,000 cases in February because vaccination rates dropped below the safety line. This is what happens when public health gets gutted and people stop trusting basic science.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social Covid is vascular and why therefore isn’t the whole population being offered vaccines & clean air as a minimum? Half of Reform voters are now antivaxxers and this isn’t surprising because of the failure to inform from UKHSA.

If you don't want to mask in crowded indoor spaces, you can just admit that and say it's because of social conformity norms & peer pressure.

Because it's not about science. Don't bend the science to fit a social comfort choice

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.

Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies.

So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

You can become disabled or chronically ill at any time.

You can become homeless at any time.

They aren’t moral failings. They are minority groups that anyone can join.

When you lose your health, your finances often follow.

Very few people are the β€œexception”

I really don’t see a worse red flag for how things are going to go with the concentration camps than a very recent issue where people insisted, loudly and publicly, that their need for coffee shops and concerts superseded vulnerable people’s right to life.
