@oniblackstock.bsky.social I know you’re not on Twitter anymore, but this paper came out a few days ago & I’m very interested in your perspective. I find that the title was designed to be inflammatory & actually detracts from the important information in the article www.ajpmfocus.org/article/S277...

I'm 18. The economy enters a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican president is responsible. I'm 29. There is once-in-a-century pandemic that leads to a once-in-century-recession. A Republican is responsible. I'm 35. Tarriffs trigger a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican is responsible.

Good morning to everyone who understands the assignment.

Increasingly difficult to exist in a world where people don’t want to acknowledge reality or even talk about the major events happening around us.

Remember in 2020-2021, when as a society, we collectively eliminated a strain of influenza (B/Yamagata) due to multilayered protections widely implemented for COVID? So much so that it was removed from the annual flu vaccine? Good times. 😷

“Levels of influenza nationwide are now at the highest they have been since the peak of the 2009 swine flu pandemic, according to figures published Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, amid this winter's second wave of the virus.” www.cbsnews.com/news/flu-lev...

Take note of who is playing footsie with fascists.

For those saying, “But they can’t do that!” Of course they can. Start there.

people keep tagging me in fuck around and find out content like I haven’t been talking about how pandemics lead to fascism since 2020. The “find out” portion isn’t just for everyone who doesn’t consider themself a liberal—it’s for them too. Haven’t masked in 4 years? FAAFO.

This is happening in the great state of Massachusetts. Head on a swivel out there yall.

Healthcare professionals can order H5N1 molecular test (NAA) through @labcorp.bsky.social (test #140046) - which is Influenza A and B with reflex testing for H5N1 if A is positive. Only validated for nasopharyngeal swab. Any update on an antibody test? www.labcorp.com/tests/140046...

It’s called a skeet? What are we doing lol 😂

“Wow, this isn’t accessible AT ALL.” Trying to get to an appointment yesterday & my husband starts recognizing the profound hurdles disabled people face just navigating this world. Cultivate the unlearning & relearning. Nurture the understanding that they simply couldn’t before.

Y’all can’t tell me nothin today lol #WhatReallyMatters #TheBest

Five years ago I got sick and I never got better. Today is the anniversary of when the neuro symptoms began causing me to be hospitalized for 5 days. Little did I know of how much worse it could and would get. Chronic illness anniversaries are complicated.

Loaner power wheelchair is here! Surgery next week. Pretty beat up but feeling grateful.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Laphonza Butler sworn in to replace late California Sen. Feinstein, becomes third Black female senator in US history.

jk one more, Novavax is stating that the CDC recommendation is official and that there should be doses coming very soon ir.novavax.com/press-releas... looks like it’s live!

Signed my surgical consent today. Happy national breast cancer awareness month!🖤

“In a groundbreaking development, Arizonans can now apply for worker's compensation if they contract COVID-19 while on the job.”

Please do this! It's great the government is going to send people free COVID tests again. But we also need them to send people free N95 masks.

It's easy to give up. But in recent weeks, hospitals & counties have reinstated mask mandates, state & city governments have announced free mask bills & programs, & the federal government has said they will send free tests again. Don't give up. Organizing & speaking up works!

The US has messed up its COVID booster rollout. People are cancelling vaccine appointments or are wrongfully being charged because of insurance issues. This is unacceptable. Vaccines should be free regardless of your insurance status.
