No, you see I NEED my emotional support bottle of expired Tylenol

make art! if it's the end of the world, you might as well make art! if it's not the end of the world, then the future will be better because people made art right now!

“We call this difference in adoption propensity the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link.”

The specific horror of one of your #MCAS safe foods going viral and being sold out everywhere #NEISvoid

It's a real dilemma for me when I'm confronted with a moral issue that wasn't examined by the writers of the original Star Trek.

FYI Bookshop.org has anti-prime free shipping rn!

And then the people trying breathlessly explain why they dont mask or take protocols anymore all the while trying to tout community care and mutual aid as a personality.

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

I thought I had three different eczema outbreaks. Turns out it’s only two different eczema outbreaks, plus shingles! 🙃 Again! I first had it in summer 2020. Feels like my body loves to deal with stress by waking up my ole pal Varicella-Zoster. #NEISvoid

Do I Dress for the Weather or Dress to Not Get Sexually Harassed: An Autobiography

Sad to hear of the passing of #DisabilityJustice activist and visionary Patty Berne. #SinsInvalid reminds us: “As we grieve, please care for each other in the ways Patty taught us: Check in on a friend. Cook a meal. Support someone at the edge. Practice Disability Justice in real time.”

"Do your best" means "Do your best that doesn't compromise your mental, physical, or psychosocial health." Give it 100% of your expendable resources Not 100% of your blood sweat tears ok be safe out there

It’s Disability Pride Month y’all. Let’s try to be intentional in our work. Specifically, we should move beyond disability rights and into Disability Justice. If you’re not familiar with Disability Justice, how is a perfect time to get acquainted with the concept as outlined by Sins Invalid.

Anyone in #NEISvoid with #Sjogrens have experience with cymbalta for neuropathic pain? Just got the rx (trying this in lieu of gabapentin because your girl can’t be an iota sleepier and still function) and nervous about throwing more meds on the fire, per usual. 😬

WashU’s #longcovid clinic is closing in a few weeks. Rumors that it’s bc the main attending is leaving, but there aren’t any MDs listed on the Infectious Diseases webpage anymore (and the clinic was hosted within that department). The Big Erasing continues, I guess.

and please mask at protests and in organizing spaces. disabled people deserve access to those spaces without facing undo risk from our comrades, and this is probably not going to be a short fight and we need to keep each other healthy. long covid will greatly reduce your ability to organize.

Update: We've removed the paywall for all ye who enter.

yall the people in the streets need the folks at home too. they need people who know where they are, who will miss them, & who can bail them out. they need food, water, medical care. safe places to shelter. some of us aren’t built for physical resistance but that doesn’t mean you’re out of the fight

In the wake of RFK firing all of the CDC's vaccine (ACIP) advisors, American Medical Association delegates have "passed an emergency resolution urging Kennedy to reverse this move," & "directed AMA leadership to send a letter to the Senate Health, ... 🧵1/3 www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcover...

the cops are not in fact 'out of control.' this is US policing.

Didn’t expect this from Scientific American but here we are. (Article from 2020 but everything still relevant including COVID precautions)

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

This is so cool. I’m pleased to share version 1 of our new dashboard for displaying data from our wastewater metagenomic project. This is a collaborative projected between MU, U. Wisc, and SecureBio; funded by Inkfish and Open Philanthropy. 1/ lungfish-science.github.io/wastewater-d...

"We can't live life like an airborne disease is disabling and causing so many health issues! We have to pretend everything is normal!" Meanwhile, forums like reddit have people asking "why am I (or my kids) so sick & tired all the time?"

Hey where are we getting our national Covid data from these days, pals? I have local wastewater info I keep tabs on but if a gal wants to know wtf is happening elsewhere what does she do (other than lay down and die)? #NEISvoid

I was turned away at my pharmacy today from getting a Covid vaccine. Even though I was willing to risk a sore shoulder Makary and Prasad felt I shouldn’t have that right. They made the decision for me. My medical freedom and bodily autonomy meant nothing to them.

AI is incapable of solving env injustice and env racism because AI is causing env injustice and env racism.

I called Josh Hawley’s office to yell about Medicaid cuts and denying trans people healthcare and actually got through to talk to a human, which means we are NOT HARASSING HIM ENOUGH. Do you have a couple mins/energy to call your senator today about H.R.1? www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

#Disabled pals, did you know you can get a National Parks Access Pass that gives you (and up to 3 other people in your vehicle!) free lifetime entrance? Just picked mine up today.

Action St. Louis and For the Culture #STL have organized such an incredibly efficient and dedicated effort to get critical supplies to folks affected by last week’s tornado. Saw it firsthand today and I dunno what the feds are doing if anything but it sure as hell ain’t this.

2 more days. This takes less than 5 minutes. - herd immunity requires broad vaccine coverage - more vaccine uptake increases population-level protection & protects immunocompromised people who cannot get the vaccines - kids can & do experience severe complications from SARS-Cov-2 infection

Oh hell yes. Can’t preorder fast enough.
