Poor air quality in care homes puts residents' health at risk. But a study shows portable air cleaners can reduce PM2.5 by 64% and VOCs by 70%! 📢 Care home owners, protect your residents by investing in air purifiers like the Blast for cleaner air. 📖: bit.ly/42jUoXM

Not a funny day. 10,000 firings at US health agencies, but really more, b/c they're forcing many to quit by making work impossible. "Outside the HHS building in Rockville, Maryland, employees were being turned away and could be seen crying in the street." 🧵1/4 www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Some politicians I have chatted to have said ‘ah we tried masks and it’s not popular with the public’. To which my reply has always been, no you didn’t try. The Tories gave incorrect PPE advice and covid is airborne. No wonder the public were confused. They advised surgical gappy masks for the 🧵

We're pleased to hear the DWP Secretary talking about social security in the Commons. Social security - security in hard times - is at the heart of a fair and just society. Welfare is a US term deliberately introduced in 2010 to stigmatise those needing help. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c0...

EXPOSED: Labour's plan for DWP cuts to severely disabled people's Universal Credit came from the Resolution Foundation The Resolution Foundation was a progressive think tank - yet it has thrown disabled people under the bus, as Labour's planned cuts were its idea www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Time for Clean Air Hampshire's March virtual social meetup (every 1st Thurs of month) Today Thursday 6th March @ 7-8pm 💙 teams.live.com/meet/9344497...

Pandemics - no one is safe until everyone is safe. And no one is safe #PublicHealth www.nature.com/articles/d41...

At the cinema to see David Tennant in the #ScottishPlay & the majority of the nearly sold-out crowd are in respirators. I've been to a number of movie showings here since mask mandates were lifted in '22 & haven't seen another person masking until now. @heartofthearts.bsky.social #SaltingTheVibes

Well done @heartofthearts.bsky.social for drawing attention to the urgent need for action to promote Covid-safety in the arts 👏

A big thank you to @folkpersons.bsky.social for the art. So evocative!

WE DID IT! 🥳🥳😷😷💕💕 Long COVID-suffering performers and allies sounded the alarm on the Long COVID emergency in the arts at #EEBAFTAs. One protestor rushed the red carpet, chanting “Silence=Death” echoing the estimated 27m people who have died as a result of COVID.

If this reporting stands up (and it appears confirmed by multiple sources): devastating. The EIS is the front-line SWAT team of disease detection in the US and globally, and also the training ground for new generations of public health workers. No EIS, no boots on the ground for outbreaks. ->

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

Every activism movement in history has made space for humor, music, art, gratitude, and beauty. It centers you and reminds you what you’re fighting for. Being relentlessly miserable is just a recipe for burnout and giving up.

Study exposes COVID-19’s dire social impact in Brazil. A study found that 65.2% of those infected with COVID-19 in Brazil have or had Long COVID, affecting about 40 million people (18.9% of the population). Nearly 18 million still experience persistent symptoms or complications.

Don’t want to understate the very real harm being done here but there is an important part of Trump’s style of government that is almost entirely performance art

It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)

If you can’t handle the social discomfort or personal inconvenience of wearing an n95 to protect disability communities, you won’t be able to handle the discomfort and risk of actual “resistance” work. Expand your capacity for discomfort to expand your capacity to liberate. And wear a damn mask:

First they came for the disabled and clinically vulnerable and that has been happening since 2020…

Aktion T4, the Nazis’ euthanasia programme, began with disabled children. There were special wards in hospitals where healthcare workers murdered them using lethal overdoses, starvation or leaving them outside. In the Netherlands and Belgium, they euthanise disabled children now.

The benefit cuts committee and the assisted suicide committee didn’t take evidence from any disabled people’s organisations. They intend to kill as many of us as possible, to cut costs. The pandemic continues to boost public support for eugenics. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/lords-commit...

Everything is heavy right now. Here is the best picture I've ever taken. Take a moment to forget the horrors of the world and go awwww
