New prints will be up for sale today 🐡 The colours are BOSS!!! First time using light teal and it layers so beautifully with the Fluro pink and yellow. It may be my new variation of blue! #risograph #illustrator

Interesting how the NYT soft peddles this by saying "critics say". No, Ben Gvir who wrote the law, says that.

I’m reluctant to recap an explanation that’s pretty far outside my competency but I think if you’re interested in Covid prevention, the thread is really worth reading; in my eyes it makes an argument for more prioritization of vaccination than we see in most community Covid advocacy, currently.

What to do? Fortunately the covid pandemic has also made a variety of tools widely available that just weren’t available before. High quality respirators can provide an extremely high barrier to transmission and can make dangerous spaces safe... 41/

If you are someone who absolutely cannot tolerate a covid infection (or an influenza infection, or a norovirus infection), knowing that 3% fewer people around you might be infected isn’t going to change the calculus of risk for you. 40/

But, those benefits are going to be small: Implementing air quality measures in every public and private space might (optimistically) reduce transmission 20%, and hence the infection rate by 3%. 38/

This does not mean that we should not adopt other interventions! But, we should be realistic about the gains that might be expected. I think the science of air quality is clear enough that we can be fairly certain the (small) cost of air quality measures is greatly outweighed by the benefits. 37/

Christian nationalism is real

one consequence of casting as wide a net as possible with the definition of long covid is that the general public doesn’t understand that the severe neurological form disproportionately strikes younger people.

Graham Platner was a Blackwater operative. Blackwater operatives committed heinous war crimes in Iraq. An acquaintance of mine and his mother were murdered with cold blood in broad daylight by Blackwater operatives in Baghdad many years ago.

There seems to be a rhythm to Trump's actions at this point: 1. Saber rattle over the weekend 2. Stocks plummet and oil shoots up 3. Trump tries to jawbone the market by TACOing 4. Stocks shoot up because they take him literally and seriously.

Why isn't New Mexico doing this? We have lots more ☀️ sunshine than the UK so the benefits would be greater, not only reducing the stress on the power grid but also greatly reducing the monthly energy expense for families

The finance bros like Trump and want him to succeed and will everything they possibly can to pretend that an economic crash isn't happening under him. The stock market will nosedive exactly 45 minutes into President AOC's administration when she makes a remark about supporting female workers.

lashing out at and insulting people who support MAID because of actual personal experience is not the move, people should not do this, jesus christ

Sharing another new painting from my solo exhibition going on now through February 21st at LeMieux Galleries in New Orleans. Also online at www.lemieuxgalleries.com "The Golden Hour" Acrylic on canvas 10" x 8" #art #painting #surrealism #nature #rainbow #contemporaryart

every 18 months somebody thinks the cure for the moral rot that lies at the center of American society is "involuntary labor for 18-year-olds"

I had a very close friend in college who grew up in a country with this. When they served their compulsory service, they told me a common conversation was the best way to *almost* kill yourself so you’d be discharged but not actually die. So yeah. Compulsory service is no go for me.

I’ll also remind folks: Indians are modern people. In fact, we’re in the legal academy. We’re colleagues. Our Nations are not relics of the past. Our legal status is not an archaic legal fiction, it is a contemporary reality.

also just, broadly speaking, do we think the cultivating of resentments against large cosmopolitan cities has been good or bad for america

I’m sick of all the discourse about whether or not kink is appropriate at No Kings

power to the people no one is illegal

For what it’s worth a lot of the people (normies) we spoke to today in St. Paul explicitly connected what trump has done to them and Minnesota with what the administration is doing to Iranians today

No Kings is pretty cool in my experience. I see Palestinian flags all the time, younger and older people wearing keffiyehs, the local SJP tables next to the local Indivisible, etc.

I agree with this. I’m about to leave for no kings right now, I think it’s overall good but it should be far more discriminating about what dem politicians it invites to speak.

my local indivisible got a ton of people to speak at regulatory committee meetings against private equity acquisition of our electricity.

This is who is standing in the way of the articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. He is coming to our house, let's share how we feel.

5) But the paper also makes statements suggesting that the treatment is effective which is problematic. None of the outcome measures they mention was listed in the trial registration. The authors calculated 44 p-values and then highlight the 5 that were significant.

8) There's also a potential conflict of interest as two authors in this trial are founding members of Fareon, Inc., the Public Benefit Corporation that has developed this new treatment approach.

1) Had a look at Putrino's trial on "Microtesla Magnetic Therapy" for Long Covid. Unfortunately, I don't think the trial shows effectiveness. They used 44 outcomes that weren't pre-registered or corrected for multiple comparisons so differences might simply be due to chance.

because initially this will look like some great triumph for the President and a refutation of all of his critics. That is a large part of why he likes doing things in the first place. He's stymied at home, and using US military might to beat up on weak, isolated dictatorships is an easy source

This is why I do not find myself in community with most ppl with this condition. Because you will never understand how it feels to have this disease & be a person who isn't white. You turn away from or stay silent on years of misogynoir, things that Wilhelmina & Jen Brea have talked about for years.

space art in progress ✨ (well the pinball one is finished, prints coming April 22nd. the other 3 are getting close!) #SpaceArt

Pilot on my flight: “Air travel is not fun right now. Please be nice to each other. I don’t want to be on CNN. Let’s just go home.”

lrt: this is perhaps a bit hyperbolic for now, but I feel like “what if these people decide to try and get us killed at some point down the line” being a live possibility might have some effect on my decision to break bread with rfk et al as a chronic illness advocate. #LongCovid #mecfs

folks are forgetting jay bhattacharya’s reaction to the CDC attack. says a lot more than his empty words. these lies were cited by the shooter as his motive for firing 500 rounds at CDC staff and killing a police officer

ABQ DSA statement on Senator Heinrich's vote to confirm Markwayne Mullin:

The Trump administration is rushing the approval of mining projects on tribal lands. The admin approved a uranium min in Utah in 11 days–when the approval process usually takes years. The dept gave tribes only 7 days to respond to the request for comment. www.wyomingpublicmedia.org/open-spaces/...

getting pretty concerned about people with long covid who care about the political left and still spend a lot of time on twitter. I know not everyone can “touch grass” but i wish we’d been more successful at making this a place the community wants to be.

Big news: Indivisible is backing our campaign. ✊🏽

Donnie Darko (2001)

more and more people are saying this

hearing secondhand mask-related discourse about how much leftists suck and then finding out it was started by T*ylor L*renz? it’s more likely than you think.

I think a lot about how people say the SCOTUS stuff won't be undone for generations and I have to say, there is a poverty of imagination at play there. We need everyone and ESPECIALLY Dem politicians to believe that we can and will fix this, by extraordinary means if necessary (and they will be)

HIPAA violation

it feels like my life is missing at least 5 out of 8 dimensions

it will take generations for the world to trust America again but imo we can speed run it by shipping people to The Hague. As a gesture of like “we get it.”

Every senator believes that voting for their colleague to a cabinet position means they have leverage or access; that the nominee will answer the phone and work in private. And there has been precisely zero evidence of this working at all recently
