NEW: Long Covid risk for children doubles after a second infection, study finds www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/h...

Facts….they’re just snatching up anyone that’s brown don’t even care if they’re legal or not

Love how he gets into the bike lane. Now here’s a Kantian. 👏

OMG. He speaks for many here: unaware of the illusion. It’s bonkers.

Really important topic. It’s a great day to donate to @thesicktimes.org. Nowhere else is gathering this critical information for people who have Long Covid—or anyone who might get it, which a new NIH incidence study says is at least 1 in 20 people who get Covid.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

“Were told by leaders across the board that we are the future, but when it comes to the pandemic our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Violet Affleck fighting for young people everywhere with this passionate speech about the dangers of Covid and Long Covid

WHEELS!

Crazy how you can actually can see Satan pulling the rein every few seconds. Watch the head toss right.

A million terrible sermons tomorrow: Charlie didn’t D-I-E for D-E-I.

🔬 A new study sheds light on why people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) experience post-exertional crashes and brain fog. It focuses on a blood protein called haptoglobin (Hp) and how its different genetic forms affect symptoms. 🧵

Wonder ye then at the fiery hunt?

So well said.

I don’t know what’s coming, but I’m going to take it lying down

📌 mega-thread of autoimmunity x covid ❗ things you may find: - studies showing sars2 infection leads to autoimmunity - studies showing impacts of sars2 on autoimmune people - anything else i feel like fits

What a time to defund science, to say nothing of devaluing vaccines and continued masking. How long until the consensus is that this isn’t worth ignoring?

Michael Peluso slide from the RECOVER-TLC conference today. ADRD = "Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias" As someone affected, I am actually relieved to hear someone be straight about this: Long Covid "brain fog" is dementia. Enough soft-pedaling; it's a crisis.

Sometimes I gaslight myself in my dreams

BC’s Quarterback is named Lonergan

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

One of the many, many signs that something is seriously wrong with ppl and we are living in hell: it is now a routine occurrence for ppl to honk at the bus because they think my disabled child takes too long to climb off of it

It includes this gem of subtle analysis: “But America does not belong to them. It belongs to us.”

I always fast forward through the satyr plays

Exciting: additional sites have now been listed for BioVie's trial of Bezisterim, including at UCSF, Stanford, Yale, Mayo Clinic, Mt. Sinai, and more! Not all are recruiting want wanted to put on everyone's radar: addresslongcovid.com/sites/ (disclosure: I am an advisor for this study)

Still salty about Enclosure.

ICE agents are not wearing ‘masks’. They’re face coverings. Bandanas. Gaiters. Masks are a public health tool. They’re a form of both resistance and community care. ICE agents wear them to terrorize people & hide their identity. The rest of us wear masks to protect one another.

My god there is no end

Diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS 👇 Many of us have developed these symptoms following a Covid infection. This is essentially what Long Covid is for me, in case that label is mystifying.

If you’re not sure if you might have ME/CFS (say, you haven’t been feeling right since you had a case of Covid), luckily the diagnostic criteria are clear enough they can be summarized in one tweet!

What percentage of antiwokeism is older white guys saying, “This should be marketed to me, but isn’t?” In my experience, the percentage has been very high.

The humanities aren't only a/b mastering content, they're also a/b developing certain habits or dispositions: critical thinking, close reading of texts, sensitivity to context & complexity, etc. Like learning a musical instrument, these habits can only be attained when one *does the work themselves*

Church sign idea: We honor him with our lips.

We grew these yummy grapes.

Gyre and Cower are related. Who knew?

Yup

The f is he clapping for?

Incredibly exciting diagnostic tool potential — @immunofever.bsky.social MIT team is doing nailfold capillaroscopies on #LongCovid patients before and after a NASA lean test, and said the results have been incredibly striking compared to controls. My results were very abnormal !

Tomorrow it’s pasta salad

It’s been 0️⃣0️⃣2️⃣ days since my last spinal tap

Disgusting

Disgusting

Evidently I grew up in a high-crime area

The short: It sucks The long: IT FUCKING SUUUUUCKS

Taking already meager benefits from the low-income disabled and elderly, while also creating loads of paperwork and red tape? What’s not to love?

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it? Of course. This would do.

Give nihilism a chance!
