"there is no cure for long Covid"
Also no supports while you recover - financial, physical, mental health
Tomorrow the City Council has the opportunity to listen to this call and take a step to take care of our residents.
Yall know what that means. They about to do the tried and true McDonald’s/Coca-Cola marketing strategy of using throwaway Scott Storch beats to make bootleg BET commercials to get Black folks back in there
An illustration from Long COVID Transformed My Mommy shows two kids in bed with their mother. She wraps them both up in a hug.
An illustration from Long COVID Transformed My Sister Into a Turtle shows a turtle wearing sunglasses and headphones. The text reads, "My mommy is like a turtle that doesn't want to come out of her shell. She avoids loud noises and bright lights. She prefers cozy, quiet places."
We haven’t seen many narratives about — or for — kids whose family members have #LongCOVID. Author and educator Sara Robitaille seeks to change that with her two new children’s books, Long COVID Transformed My Mommy and Long COVID Transformed My Sister into a Turtle. bit.ly/4csWXfE

I have been so proud to chair Addiction Risks and Mechanisms for the past two years. I thought it was a rigorous, careful, thoughtful, and supportive study section. It was populated by the most incredible scientists.
It's now gone. Sad day.

I think many of us figured this was the case, but the actual data is nonetheless wild to see.
“Cyabra identified one day, Dec. 26, when fake profiles made up 56 percent of all comments on political posts made by Nicki Minaj.”
These are the same people trying to keep us from teaching ‘divisive concepts’ like the afterlife of slavery.
"This was a tape-delayed broadcast. They still allowed the slur to air, unfiltered, and then let the moment circulate as a clip"
This part.
What is the purpose of a delay if not for this exact type of situation?
Do disagree with article. Proper apologies were owed.
I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage.
I learned a lot.
Scoop: Ring's CEO told staff Search Party is not going to be just for dogs, according to a leaked email I obtained. Said it is "first for finding dogs" before suggesting it would be expanded to be used for crime:

This is extraordinary. The presenter (Stefan Renna) explains how the Israeli athlete (Adam Edelman) supported IDF actions in Gaza & asserts this violates the International Olympic Committee’s rules on political statements by athletes. Mentions Heraskevych. The presenter practically offers footnotes!
The artist and producer yuniVERSE, a young Indonesian-Australian woman, performs on a stage with large flowers. She lies on stage equipment and wears a white, high quality mask decorated with beautiful and original metal swirls. She wears a black tank top, a black fishnet top, a skirt, and a large bedazzled belt. She presses the microphone to her mask. The text reads, “The Sick Times. These artists are making concerts safer with COVID-19 precautions. By Katie Chow."
I think ultimately we’re a subculture, but instead of being centered around a style of clothing or music, we’re centered on anti-ableism, and it makes our commitment more powerful. — Camille Mai, Rebirth Canal
While most of the music industry has “moved on,” COVID-conscious performers have been working to prevent their shows from being superspreaders. Read more from @katiechow.bsky.social: bit.ly/3ZIW4YQ
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
This is a very good piece on running against the establishment and status quo in an age of populism and low institutional trust

“Kuhlman said the children’s mother called the school early Thursday to tell them she’d been detained and asked school leaders to bring the kids to her at the Whipple Federal Building near Fort Snelling because there were no family members in Minnesota to care for them.”
I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.
Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.
I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.
I need to share with you what I saw.
Eight minutes matters.
A pulse matters.
Denied medical care matters.
Doctors don’t speak out like this for politics or optics. They speak out when a line is crossed, when an oath is violated, when someone who could have been helped is instead left to die.
It’s utterly vile they have to do this.
Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.
I just want to reiterate what other people have already said, white people have to let go of white supremacy for all this to happen. At least most.
