1/5 BREAKING: NIH just approved $147M in additional funding for long COVID research, bringing total new funding to $662M! This builds on the $1.15B Congress allocated in 2021 for the RECOVER Initiative.

@savehansson.se dm me if you would like the plaintext file of the x thread you shared👍

"Remember when everyone was trying to say #EBV reactivation was the cause of #LongCovid? I have some really f***ing bad news for you. EBV reactivation was at one time considered as a cause of #AIDS also." threadreaderapp.com/thread/18648... #SARS2 #SARSCoV2 #HIV H/t @froglet80.bsky.social

I do mutual aid boosting threads on the other place. i can't keep up with both, but for those who do, I'll post the unroll of them here 12/10 threadreaderapp.com/thread/1866422527565992287.html #FrogletAid #HelpFolksLive2024 (same @ & # on X)

this is why our community will always suck no matter what platform it is on.

many have been disenfranchised by the policies of both parties. want to blame someone? look in the mirror

wait what

sometimes it just hits me that most never-been-poor people believe in their heart of hearts that poor people just don’t work very hard, or aren’t very smart what a world

i like parody accounts, they just need to be marked as such to avoid confusion.

On this World AIDS Day, I remember my tío Cano. He passed August 1991, two months before I was born. He lived an all-too brief life, my queer Puerto Rican ancestor, but his memory guides me, lifts me.

1 December is #WorldAIDSDay. Always challenge HIV stigma.

There is a statue of Turing in Sackville Gardens here in Manchester. You can sit with him on his bench and talk to him. Thousands will gather by his statue tomorrow night at 6pm for our World AIDS Day Vigil. ght.org.uk/vigil

The British HIV Association's #WorldAIDSDay event, in partnership with The George House Trust, will be held at 6pm on December 1st at Sackville Gardens in Manchester city centre. ♥️ Find out more here: ght.org.uk/civicrm/even... 📍 #HIVsky #HIV #IDsky #MedSky #GUMsky #WAD #WAD2024 #BHIVA #BHIVA24

FACT OF THE DAY. 30 November 1936. Alan Turing’s research paper, On Computable Numbers, was published in 2 issues of the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society on 30 November, and 23 December 1936. It proposed the creation of a universal (computer) machine.

Alan Turing, a brilliant gay man whose brilliance did not protect him from the legalised homophobic persecution, that ultimately resulted in his death.

“I don’t feel that as someone living with HIV I am somehow lesser than other people.” End HIV stigma. #WorldAIDSDay

I lost two of my absolutely best friends. Victor Arimondi, photographer, Gary Oden, model. Here they are 💔 For people who want to know what it was like, please read or watch David France's How To Survive a Plague. #AIDS #NeverAgain

I was diagnosed with HIV in 1998, when I was 30. Many of my friends had died but I was told, with the new drugs available, I could expect to live another 20 years. That was 27 years ago. Honour those we lost. Celebrate that we can now treat and prevent HIV. Make HIV stigma history. #WorldAIDSDay

I was diagnosed with HIV in 1997, when I was 21. Medication was just coming out but I didn’t think I’d live past 27yrs old. That was 27 years ago. Honour those we lost. Celebrate that we can now treat and prevent HIV. Make HIV stigma history. #WorldAIDSDay

A 🧵 on #AIDS in the 80s/90s: I was 15 when I first had sex with a man. I’d snuck off to London’s Heaven nightclub with the express intent of ridding myself of my ‘gay virginity’, a goal I achieved easily with a visiting American photographer. 1/13

bwahahaha woopsie play stupid games, win stupid prizes

Do any infectious diseases have a 100% fatality rate? ->Live Science | #InfectiousDisease #Health | More info from EcoSearch

I'm not familiar enough with this platform to do #MutualAid boosting here yet, but I'm still running threads at the other place. And @bfitzinar.bsky.social started here today I believe.

No one is above the law in our country, unless you happen to be a twice impeached, adjudicated rapist, business fraud, felon who tried to overturn the results of a legitimate presidential election via violent coup. In that case, yes — you are in fact, above the law.

Pretty crazy someone can be charged federally with interfering in an election and those charges get dropped because they win an election.

@expatrepeat.bsky.social hello friend 💚

mild pneumonia, moderate nazis, what's next?

Can anyone please help? The month is almost over, I'm nowhere near having the most basic needs met & its cold. Thank you. ko-fi.com/froglet80 linkn.bio/froglet80 paypal.me/froglet80 cash.app/$froglet80 venmo.com/u/froglet80 gofundme.com/F1124

If you use automated block lists based on keywords you are censoring yourself. How can you speak out against something if you cannot name it? That is literally what Newspeak in "1984" was all about. Enjoy your silo.

between the moo flu and the impending poultry pandemic this is probably a good time to consider going veggie lovers (and abandoning the fake commercial holiday based on colonial mythology altogether)

haha cool now there is no feed at all as cooked as this place is, the good place is not the correct description...

this app is unuseable impossible to scroll feeds constant reload, jumps around, things appear and dissappear at random y'all been played

The vaccine is 2 doses, a month apart. $270 each dose. Insurance is not required to cover it. www.cnn.com/2024/11/16/h...

i think all the yellow bellies in their purple silos should have spoken up before the election actually

"While it's an independent agency overseen by Congress, Trump has made clear he would like to bring [FCC] under tighter White House control and use it to punish TV networks that have fact-checked him or otherwise covered him in a way that sparks his ire."

sharing because its interesting, not necessarily agreement

“The biggest challenge of our lifetime will be figuring out how to combat the American willingness to embrace flagrant misinformation and bigotry.” Roxane Gay: Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

Collection of some of the I mask or Masking images where 1 cartoon style person has a mask and a statement about why they mask. Over 200 of these to choose to select the message you want to share. Hundreds of other types of images with encouragement or raw facts to try to get people to mask. #covid

agree, but what is pictured is not a nazi flag. the nazi flag was red with a black swastika in a white circle. the image shows black flags with a red swastika. intent is likely the same, but its important to describe accurately.

can you mute accounts/words here? because the lack of algorithms makes some of my mutuals constant posting same thing all day, drown out everyone else

Covid isn’t over. It will continue to rise until January and then take until May to get as low as it does in the last year. #WearAMask #MaskUp #CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsntOver #CovidIsAirborne #StopLongCovid #BringBackMasks #KeepMasksInHealthcare

@2heartcore4u.bsky.social i'm a friend of @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social from our time on X, don't think we have met before but welcome!

Excellent thread by someone who has been there. Click thru to next tweet for my thoughts on the issue, as another person that is there.

US folks: reminder that the expanded telehealth access we got in 2020 will expire in less than three months! 🤯 Please call your Members of Congress (2 Senators, 1 Rep) & ask them to **save telehealth** & pass House bills HR 8261, HR 7623, HR 4189 and Senate bill S 2016. Find them at: 1/2

2/ There are 4 bills to extend telehealth access or make it permanent; they're stuck in committee. They are: HR 8261, HR 7623, HR 4189 & S 2016. Please call/email your Members of Congress & urge them to get these bills passed & make telehealth access permanent. www.congress.gov/members/find...

with so many still on twitter. and facebook. and threads, and mastodon. not to mention the other 90% of our global community that doesn't do social media. what are we doing as far as outreach to all Of them?

Telehealth expiring: Now, folks. Please go sign this *right now.* And thanks very much to Amanda Crist on the other platform for working so hard on this. actionnetwork.org/letters/pres...

automated block lists are a very bad idea unless the only point is to build silos
