Avoiding Sars2, making art, growing/preserving food. Trying to teach our littles how to live in this mess. Living with EDS and its sack of toothy terrors

The truth is what matters & the truth is we are in a dire situation that needs urgent & transformative action & even then some bad things are baked in, but not even close to as bad as it can get. We don't need comforting stories, we need action.
Sorry, but this is absolute nonsense. The reason people haven’t acted on climate change is because the massive amount of disinformation being pumped out from most of the media that for decades has said it’s probably not true. The opposite is true. This woolly false hope forced positivity mentality is exactly why people don’t understand it’s the existential life-and-death-billions-of-us-at-risk crisis that it is. theguardian.com/environment/…

The third-generation Ziga mask—developed by Zhou Liang—incorporates ten years of technical refinement and draws on extensive feedback from consumers. Among its many upgrades, the mask now offers an expanded field of view, with impressive data to back it up. Shown below is the improvement in the field of view for the size M version; however, I believe the enhancement in the size L version will be the most remarkable of all.

I’m not currently looking for a romantic partner due to my health. But sometimes I imagine going through life with a Côvid-aware partner where we actually have each other’s backs protecting one another & I want to sob with longing 😭

I agree with the 100M number, but disagree with the cause. I never got vaccines, yet I’ve been permanently disabled since early 2020 Covid. These narratives erase us, & protect the 1%’s record profits by ensuring everyone continues getting The Virus—an alleged bioweapon, but also so benign it may not exist at all. There is no help coming for anyone on either side of this. The only way to avoid certain disability & premature death is to avoid the virus. Vaccines don’t prevent transmission, you have to take other precautions, but people don’t want to do that. Good luck, everyone.

Not just testing our humanity, Covid has been eroding it, at exactly the right time to facilitate the rapid rise of oligarchy, culture war, and fascism. It's socially ignored continual unmitigated spread is integral to the collapse we are experiencing.
COVID is testing our humanity. We're watching people grieve alone, healthcare workers burn out, families fracture, & communities struggle to distinguish evidence from dogma. The lack of space for nuance is troubling & the ongoing damage deserves honest reflection.

This 🧵 sheer brilliance 🎯
I appreciate your perspective as well. But here’s my take: It is social pressure that prevents many from masking when they understand the stakes and the science. That’s basically it. The fear of being ostracized in one way or another. 1/

People out there following and sharing content stealing accounts like Massimo need to realise that they are simply terrible. They don't care about creators. This awful reply to Nick demonstrates that. Please block them.
I literally spend ALL of my time either in the forest documenting wildlife or crammed somewhere editing the content. I sacrifice everything for not much return, like ALL creators do! 😤 The concept that ‘grifters’ can just exist by downloading content without consent and uploading on their own platform for monetisation is disgusting - especially when this is how they respond after being caught! BAN THEM! 🤮

All these years I’ve spent mooning that my pre-existing EDS symptoms so perfectly mirror many Long Covid symptoms & it never occurred to me there may be a viral link somewhere in my past. Maybe my EDS was the door that some other pathogen walked through.
Like MECFS, SLE, EDS, Sjögrens, LC and others, MS is a symptom checklist overlapping with these other syndromes because our immune systems have a set number of ways to address persistent pathogens. 1.

Could detect as many as 100 airborne pathogens and harmful particles... This kind of device would change the landscape of HAI and disease transmission in schools.

Driving to Toronto today because all of my local pharmacies have *not even HEARD of Novavax*. We are paying out of pocket because of the ridiculous timing of publicly funded shots. But, I’ll be going into my fall show season with another layer.
