The Bungles

Hey, Media, speculators, deniers: come have a conversation with a #LongCovid person. Many of us wave 1 in 2020. It was all about hand-sanitizing, nothing about the air. Come hear us talk, losing every 2nd word, stringing sentences (not prison but kinda). Our brains stop to re-boot. The DISAPPEARED.

This is why I'm not always in a good mood, or able to function since 2020. It's one part of #LongCovid which our government ignores. "Get back to work". Practically every bullet here is also, if they bothered, a different GP referral to a different specialist. Many of us can barely walk.

This is part of a thread related to the economic Module of the ongoing #LongCovid Inquiry (UK). It hits a particular nerve for most of us - zero help or support. "Were" past tense is "Are" b/c 1000s of us remain unsupported, financially or medically. It's too late for some, lives upside down.

Yep. He should be knighted or damed, or simply hooded. Meantime, this still makes me cry a bit in an oppressed world. (There're better vids, but start with one note, called brilliance). -SCx www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiHV...

and (pending a thick ear) @davidpetts1.bsky.social all over the place, probs needs a third book.

While Musk dines with Trump. Yeh, OK.

Bill is beyond brilliant... (Dr Keith)

Slightly diminish a band Rail Replacement Passenger Tho he's now solo. OK, I'm a bit bored and it's freezin'

Slightly diminish a band Right Said Freda

Slightly diminish a band name The Bungles

Slightly diminish a band The HB-52s

Noting that most sensible fair-minded people (and organisations) have quit X anyway. I have, like so many, don't miss it or the pervasive toxicity. Lawful or not, it's become pointless after Musk.

Perfect.

Oh George...

More throwbacks to a freezing Christmas in Washington DC and Philly in 2010. Perhaps some irony?

Something is deeply wrong with POTUS, yes?

I forgot this. The time I was most bored out of my brain EVER. Driving around a forest on the edge of Washington DC in 2010 looking at "lights" and exhausts. For hours. Two kids asleep in the back. Festive?

I forgot this. The time I was most bored out of my brain EVER. Driving around a forest on the edge of Washington DC in 2010 looking at "lights" and exhausts. For hours. Two kids asleep in the back. Festive? Almost suicidal.

Takes a long while to do compression socks (basically tight walking socks). My L foot now always >2x normal size, fluid, can't get footwear on. Both feet numb or stabbing nerve pains. Bending over = nausea. That's just my feet, not my inflamed brain (knitted hat). My 60th year, like 90. #LongCovid

Medical Treatments, anything, including financial help (non-existent), for #LongCovid would be nice. The routine largely involves bedbound endless non-healing sleep, crushing body and brain pain. That's around 400 million globally. It's only been six years.

Slightly Annoyed? Vexed? No. Ralph's Cross. Slightly belated Happy New Year.

The new Colosseo Metro C station is a true feat of public archaeology. I’ve never seen so many people clamoring to see archaeological remains, and everything is so engagingly and beautifully presented. I spent over an hour just exploring the station, and the whole place was buzzing!

Only the renditions (and personal experience with) what happens when you find them out, they know you know, you take their blood lust food supply away, and watch them self-implode in spirals of self-destruction in their imaginary world of supremacy. Epic. (The trick is simply silence).

Romanian actor Alec Secăreanu (Gods Own Country film 2017 with Josh O'Connor) stroked my tweed lapels fondly at the stage door after his Gundog play performance. "You're the guy on Twitter...". I teared up and we took lots of pics. My friend told him to stop stalking us.

You know, for very very strange reasons, I've been there, lovely place and a small museum if I recall. Citrus County is also a very odd place, scattered with hospices, electricians, funeral homes and plenty of churches. Not somewhere to wander round after dark.

Hmm. Visit a convicted rapist (with more redactions to come), without Mr Mountbatten-Windsor whom Congress want to interview. Awkward. Trade in what exactly?

Age 23 in 1990 at The Santa Cruz Operation (SCO UNIX) in Watford UK and Santa Cruz CA, Sales VP announced "that's no person, that's Spence". I still giggle. I placed all his orders on hold, master of the database. Subsequently Employee of The Year award, Naples FL.

What else to do? Scan reading Gathering Time 2vols, about 1000 pages. Thousands of radiocarbon dates and Bayesian modelling. Working on my recalibrations for the Meso-Neo overlap on the North York Moors 4200 - 3900 - 3700 cal BC (and a few earlier around 5200-5000). #Archaeology

Mood. I don't think I'm well, not entirely by a long way. #LongCovid www.youtube.com/shorts/_HHRK...

"with intent to stupefy" is the phrase that caught my eye in today's UK criminal news. And not political where there would appear to be thousands of potential victims within and millions without, QED.

Last few remaining, love mine, it's a beautiful thing in the mysterious land of Neolithic henges and the immense Devil's Arrows standing stones, North Yorkshire, England. Help fund Thornborough #Archaeology Group's community projects thornboroughag.org/tag-calendars/

Happy Solstice

After a hard day's work putting up the Christmas lights - the reward! Turning them on. We will never forget our lost loved ones. ❤️

#FlintFriday #FindsFriday 2019 throwback pre-Pandemic, fieldwalking after huge 60ha quad geofiz on a hill, Skelton-in-Cleveland NE Yorkshire, England (just S of Teesside). #Archaeology EVERYWHERE! Just a taster (Community project on-hold b/c of LongCovid). A lifetime's work: Mesolithic to Mining.

Can we adapt this for hypocaust walking? @romanpalace.bsky.social @durotrigesdig.bsky.social #HypocaustGate

Sen. Ron Wyden on the Trump DOJ not producing all of the Epstein files, as required by law: "Anything short of a full release today is a violation of the law and a continuation of this administration’s coverup on behalf of a bunch of pedophiles and sex traffickers."

Why is this not CRIMINAL?

@davidebb.bsky.social Excellent YAHS "Briefing" magazine thank you. Tame those rogue reindeer. All best wishes, seasonal and climatic -SC

And then he needs to apologise to the Nation for 2016 Brexit lies, falsehoods and ... racism. Seems to be a pattern. And Türkiye still isn't in the EU.

Roman stonework, even when re-used, is wonderful. Same at Lanercost Priory in Cumbria.

When oh when are the British people going to receive an apology from Nigel Farage and the other UKIP liars!

In a tangential way, reminds me of hand-washing to avoid an airborne virus. Stock up on gin. And we should all learn semaphore.
