/3 Think about it. Faced with lawless, violent thugs who feel entitled to murder and abuse, and faced with an unimaginably powerful government openly praising and endorsing murder and lying to justify it, these people are still showing up, often for people they don’t even know.

Fascinating and uplifting read about the promise of nasal vaccines for COVID, flu, and RSV

Rest in peace, Alice Wong 🕊️ thesicktimes.org/2025/11/15/a...

Gutted. We have lost a brilliant voice in the world. Rest in peace Alice Wong @sfdirewolf.bsky.social you were so inspiring to so many of us. Thank you for sharing all your words and for always shining a light on the disability community.

"Alice supported and took many people with Long COVID under her wing — I was honored to call her a colleague and friend." @mileswgriffis.bsky.social in @thesicktimes.org's obituary for the great Alice Wong: thesicktimes.org/2025/11/15/a...

It's so fun when we get to finally watch more players enjoy the game after release! #indiegamedev

We always design with accessibility in mind and try to launch with features like high contrast colors & icons. Glad for an article to call this out! #indiegamedev #indiegamedesign

We added a daily challenge and random mode that randomize the layout of the map and the rules you play with. I'm excited about this feature for offering a twist on the game that isn't possible on the table but still uses all the fun mechanics of the game.

Our next game is coming out next week! My City is a great spatial puzzle game and I'm especially excited about the random and daily challenge modes we're introducing as app-exclusives.

seems weird that starbucks claims there's no money to give baristas a living wage or better hours or a finalized union contract but okay

Why is it that I can buy 90-day supplies of prescriptions directly from the pharmacy for cheaper than buying them in 30-day supplies with my United insurance why

Great thread that captures something hard to explain about how pursuing a vaguely artistic career feels impossible in American cities (I'm not even an artist)

This is bleak

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

Pittsburgh turning out today!

I truly don't understand why elected officials aren't legally required to meet with their constituents. It's not representation if they won't listen to us. www.wesa.fm/politics-gov...

Truly a huge waste and a crushing blow to #LongCOVID patients

HHS's Office of Long COVID Research and Practice has been DOGEd. Closing this week.

If you have changed your mindset about COVID since 2020, despite knowing that reinfection is common - this piece outlines how a lot of mainstream media narratives are straight from anti vaxx beliefs

The conspiracy theory that disease is “good” for u is a foundational anti vaxx belief. It’s false, yet many liberals and leftists have fallen for these Qanon level conspiracies bc they refuse to acknowledge that they were lied to by the govt. This piece explains www.thegauntlet.news/p/liberals-j...

"I’ve learned in many ways to accommodate my symptoms and have a regimen in place that allows me to cosplay as normal in most situations. I am considered a mild case, yet my life is forever changed. There is still no cure. And without research and attention to the subject, there won’t be."

Worth noting that disability has become more (not less) stigmatized since 2020 - disabled and immunocompromised people have been abandoned to weather the pandemic on their own. So this is not the same type of rise as e.g. more kids identifying as gay when we made social and legal progress.

An important piece on something you might have (incorrectly) dismissed as Just Pop Culture.

For my #longcovid people - any tips on treatments for dizziness upon moving your head? I'm 4 years in and have only had occasional dizziness in that time, but it's been persistent for the last 2.5 weeks. Not that bad of a symptom, but curious about a trick to help.

Get the new booster while you still can!

Rep. Ilhan Omar: What We’ve Accomplished in 2024 “The Long Covid Research Moonshot Act: I introduced legislation to provide $1 billion annually for a decade to fund research, pursue treatments, and expand care for those suffering from Long Covid.”

One way we balance cost and safety is by switching out our typical house filter in the colder months for a more expensive one that catches virus and bacteria. This way, when COVID/flu/pneumonia are spiking and we have friends over inside more, we have better protection. #cleantheair

I thought my insurance was fine until I got Long COVID and needed to use my insurance for more than an annual check-up and blood work. Since I have United, I've spent thousands of dollars this year on in-network care.

I've logged my symptoms and measured my HRV+resting heart rate with the Visible app almost every day for close to 2 years - it's paid off! As a UX designer, I'm thrilled to see smartphones enable a study like this through a simple daily check-in - especially with patients who may have low energy.

“[T]he success of vaccines has … allowed for a modern amnesia about the level of past human suffering.” “The success of childhood vaccination has a perverse effect of making the benefits of these vaccines invisible." www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

We made a gingerbread house of our local indie movie theater and we're so happy with how it turned out!

"When Democrats stopped talking about COVID, the right did not. Right-wing operatives, dark money groups, media, and politicians worked to create an alternate reality in which the discredited positions they adopted—minimizing the virus and opposing mitigation measures—were vindicated"

I don’t think the fact that Biden presided over the ENDING of covid-era supports has been blamed enough, yet.

I've been on a kick of crocheting cute rattles for all of my friends' new babies.

I'd love to find some baking friends here! A couple of recent names I've done are these chai cinnamon rolls and red beans swirl buns. Double batches of both 😊

I recently flew from JFK to Rome and brought my CO2 monitor. Sharing for anyone interested. At the airport in less crowded areas, CO2 stayed in a "good" range around 840ppm. But in a short line by security it was up to 1188, considered average. (For context ~420 is fresh air).

I've had Long COVID for more than 3 years. Becoming chronically ill with a disabling disease at 28 has upended my life. And still I'm very fortunate on the scale of how bad Long COVID can be - you do not want this illness.

First post to share how excited I am about our latest digital board game adaptation at Spiralburst - Reiner Knizia's My City! spiralburst.com/my-city We're working on a daily challenge mode that randomizes rules and the map for each play, which will be such a fun addition to an already great game.
