Being an asshole has consequences.

Cardiologists seeing more cases of POTS since the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic. "Dr Hong said the condition can be debilitating, with symptoms like dizziness, fainting, brain fog, shortness of breath and even gastrointestinal issues."

March 10, 2025 - Five years ago today - On the Eve of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the World Had No Idea What Was Coming... (A graphic I saved from that day...) Today we have over 777 million cases and over 7 million deaths, and the COVID-19 pandemic is still not over.

It’s Long Covid Awareness Week, and we need governments to make long Covid a priority. So we’re asking YOU to send a letter to your federal and provincial/territorial representatives, urging them to fund long Covid awareness, research, and support. #ILCAD2025 #LongCovidAwarenessDay 1/2

“Children are increasingly starting primary school struggling to talk” Well it can’t be lockdowns - many of the kids that started school last September weren’t even born! So can we start addressing the elephant in the room: Covid brain damage. #LongCovidKids www.independent.co.uk/news/educati...

It's official: The lunatics are now running the asylum.

Happy International Women's Day especially to the amazing women in the Long Covid and chronic illness community. A special thought for the patient advocates/researchers who are doing so much heavy lifting for LC recognition, sometimes with little help or recognition. Thanks 🌸

Kids keep getting sicker as evidence for COVID immune damage builds by @juliadoubleday.bsky.social www.thegauntlet.news/p/kids-keep-...

Please don’t have “measles parties.” Even for kids who fully recover, measles is a miserable experience. And a substantial number will have complications. Just get vaccinated instead.

To the men who spent today mansplaining, harassing & talking down to me… thanks for showing us WHY we still need an International Women’s Day. If you’re coming into the posts of women sharing their experiences & advocating for equality just to demean and agitate… you’re 100% part of the problem.

Telling a disabled person who can’t work that they will be punished with if they don’t work… is like saying to an average non-disabled person they will have their pay withheld if they can’t run a 4 minute mile… Utterly meaningless and impossible to achieve.

Kids keep getting sicker as evidence for COVID immune damage builds “As the press pushes "immunity debt" past the breaking point of believability, are parents ready to wake up to the illness crisis?”

Fact-check: True

Disabled women are more likely to experience abuse than their non disabled peers We’re often trapped with caregivers who treat us badly & lack the support to leave Many disability benefits are cut if you marry, forcing dependence We need a universal basic income so we can have autonomy #IWD2025

There will be increasing US propaganda aimed at Canada. Media will be complicit in normalizing it. Secret fentanyl labs, porous border that threatens security, etc. Bet on it. And a lot of Americans will eat it up. This has been the American playbook for decades.

Tesla’s German sales fell 76% in February to 1,429 cars, a steeper decline than the 60% drop in January.

Cutting disability benefits doesn't 'incentivise work'. But it does penalise and humiliate the disabled, and that's the real point.

Sleepwalking into yet another pandemic. Alliances and treaties falling apart as superpowers go fully rogue. Landmines coming back. Everyone saying the world needs more nukes in it. Inaction on worsening climate change. Aiding and abetting genocide. This millennium sucks.

Don't Assume You're Safe from Measles, Even if You're Vaccinated www.the-sentinel-intelligence.com/p/dont-assum...

Doctors are having to beg parents to care enough about their children to get them vaccinated and save their lives.

People *may* be starting to wake up to how covid damages immunity: The same guy who mockingly asked me a year ago, "So how long are you going to keep wearing that mask?" just said yesterday, "All the kids are sick all the time." He didn't say anything about my mask, but his eyes lingered on it.
