Thank you to the Irish Independent for this article and this is why so many folks are off sick. Sadly now six of my friends have long covid. This is a national crisis behind closed doors. www.independent.ie/life/health-...

Yesterday at the farmer’s market I saw a vendor quietly give food to someone whose EBT (SNAP) card didn’t have enough money on it. People helping people because the president and his administration refuse to. Even when court-ordered.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #StandingOnThings except the Floor. This cutie is a brown-hooded kingfisher standing on a snag on the bank of the Chobe River, in Botswana. #EastCoastKin #Stunday #birds

So .. I was dancing through the kitchen, like a ballerina, tip toeing around .. my son 👁️‍🗨️ Are you okay mom? 😵‍💫 Then I started singing my son 👁️‍🗨️ Are you in a midlife crisis mom? 😵‍💫 I went to one of my other son's to tell this who told me his youngest sister already had send him a message about it all

📸 of Peter Fogden. Lately I notice more and more people who I have known on TV, from books, from movies, from their songs .. dying. Because sadly that also belongs to life. Passing away at a certain age. It only makes me more determined to follow my dreams, even if that means .. masked up. 😷💪

I went into a game store with my sons and there he was a life sized statue of Connor Kenway.For sale. I was going through my mind,how to get it home,where to put it but we were planning for emigration then so could not buy it. The one I saw was even more beautiful than this one. So impressive.😮

Never in a million years I thought I would be fan of BTS but here I am a Silver Army 😊 I love their passion for dance, music, food, clothes, and their compassion for others and this planet. Reminding me of Michael, in their own way.

Enjoy the little things in life, they are the big ones 👇😊

Happy Halloween! 🎃 What other evil spirits should the EU ward off? With @annastrolenberg.volteuropa.org @reiniervanlanschot.volteuropa.org Kai Tegethoff and Nela Riehl 💜

9 November represents turning points in European history: the November Revolution of 1918, Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch in 1923, Kristallnacht in 1938, and the symbol of hope – the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Your lit candle is a sign of remembrance, humanity, and peace.

For all the bystanders doing nothing about an #OngoingPandemic, nor the #Fascism it continues to usher in, globally -

Exulansis happens within close families too. In our family of 4, 3 of us observe #COVID mitigations, while my partner has recently decided to live like it is 2019 again. In spite of himself being a 3x cancer survivor, & his partner + eldest son having #LongCOVID. Traumatic & unsustainable -

One Public Health department is telling the whole story. Shining a light on those who are being less than transparent! Oopsie!

Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani is STILL out chatting it up with the people. He was trying to do content but the voters kept popping up.🥹

Clean air is a human right indeed, and not a luxury! Not only in public spaces but in the rental ones for sure. Many do not know that there are families who have to live in not maintained rental properties with CO2 between 1300 and 2500, sometimes even above that. Clean air is needed to stay healthy

Do you remember when the White House had good taste? Back when the art had meaning, the rooms had soul, and the President had both.

💬 We want to go back when everything was normal .. No we dont We have to go to better Better housing, better healthcare,better food choices,better animal protection,better safety,better job application procedures, better chances,better earnings,better climate and politics Better everything 4 all

Good! Very very good! Thank you so much for doing this. You give us hope. x

I have a very bad feeling about this...

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us: “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

It also angers me big time that we have to suffer in an apartment which really needs a renovation but is not ours to do so,while desperately looking for a job so that we can get a mortgage to get the heck out of here, which gives a beyond words amount of stress, on top of all the rising food prices.

Here we go yet again 😌 #COVIDisNotOver www.facebook.com/share/1FWj7z...

It is kind of absurd that you have to justify trying to stay healthy.

To so many of us, Europe is more than a place, it’s a part of who we are. Hear what the public had to say when we went out and asked them what Europe means to them.

Hugh Jackman masking in the airport. Why? Because masking can help you avoid sickness. Masking is not political, it’s practical. Let’s get Wolverine an N95 next time though.

People saying that they found it damaging and difficult to stay at home during lockdown. Almost six years later many of us vulnerable people still have to stay at home while those people live as if Covid is not going on. With us lacking a job, not able to move house, or to live a more normal life

What a nightmare! Chinese astronauts can’t come home because space debris hit their return craft. The rapidly increasing amount of stuff we launch into space is something everyone should be aware of.

Even if the space isn’t mandating masks… …can we do something- ANYTHING - in terms of fresh air exchange, filtering?!! Folks laughing at anti-vaxxers…meanwhile they act as it the whole entire disease of COVID (or any airborne virus!) does not exist.

This!!!

Excellent news that there's now a Covid positivity map for Scotland! A very useful tool to help predict incoming pressures on local NHS & Local Authority services, for CV people & anyone needing to manage risk. Thanks @skeuomorphology.bsky.social & @publichealthscot.bsky.social for supplying data 🙏

Are there any businesses who are Covid aware and accept applications from those who cannot go to an office in person due to being vulnerable and Covid still going on? This is my eldest son ❤️👇Martijn bsky.app/profile/mfam... desperately searching for a fully remote job,each/every day, whole day long

😊👍👏

For those who already do .. hold on, keep that mask up when needed, no matter the reactions of others. You are protecting your health, of your loved ones and maybe you were the last step for others to start wearing a mask too. 👇

I’m telling you all, he’s not running the country yet alone anything else they are just using him as a prop to get things done, he doesn’t know anything about anything or anyone. They are sending him out there with speeches he can’t even follow and using the autopen on anything THEY want

How did your press conference go with Trump, Gordon Finlay and RFK Jr? "Well first Trump went to sleep, and then Gordon fell unconscious, and then RFK made a run for it, and then while we were gathered around Gordon, Trump woke up, stood up and just looked into space like a zombie".

Grow! Open your mind Open your heart Open your soul Step outside the box When you are frozen in the then You cannot see what what was right in front of you all that time in the now So grow A little bit more

I do not like bugs at all, but these ones are cute. Love the combination of black/white with a bit of red.

What a beautiful proud dude. I can imagine him wearing a little crown on his tiny magestic head. 🪶

The man who has never shopped in a grocery store his entire life says prices are down.

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

The raw dynamism just leaps out of that image

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
