and yall believe RFK Jr when he says SARS (SEVERE acute respiratory syndrome) is mild 🤦‍♂️
Al Pacino says he passed out with COVID in his apartment, woke up to five paramedics in his living room, and was told his pulse had stopped "I felt I left the Earth when I passed out." "Next thing I know, I open my eyes and there's five paramedics in my living room." "And they were my doctors, but I couldn't recognize them from head to toe." "But they said, my pulse had stopped." The last thing he remembers is asking the name of the guy filling him up with fluids. Then he wakes up to two doctors in what looked like space suits, and his first thought is that it looks like a film set. Fifty years in front of cameras will do that. ft: @60Mins 60 Minutes Australia on youtube

Just a reminder ADHD can be debilitating- people with ADHD have a 90% higher risk of death by suicide compared to those without the condition. Individuals with ADHD are roughly 2 to 4.5 times more likely to experience suicidal thoughts than neurotypical peers,

yall antimaskers are literally in agreement with RFK Jr, a guy whose medical opinions are so bad you can stay healthy by basically doing the opposite of everything he says
RFK Jr.: "I was in Los Angeles last week, and I saw people — this is true — driving around wearing masks alone in their car. Still in 2026!” Sounds like he's using again, y'all! Is there a toilet somewhere around? 🤣🤣🤣

COVID is vascular. Breaks through the blood-brain-barrier. 🦠🧠Neurotropic, neuroinvasive, neurovirulent. Damages the prefrontal cortex /frontal lobes. Causes loss of white & grey brain matter & fuses neurons The masses keep getting reinfected over & over. 13th wave! This is why
Algo hizo crack en la pandemia. Desde ahí empezó a imperar un sálvese quién pueda, una falta de empatía brutal, y un pasotismo general a la hora de hacer las cosas, y los trabajos. Esto va más allá de izquierdas y de derechas, se puede constatar en todos los ámbitos y sectores.

The public thinks they are safe catching Covid every year because the messaging is inadequate. We need Better Public Health Messaging now. #covid19 #longcovid #maskup

🟣 Very High COVID wastewater levels in FL, WA, MT. 🔴 High in CT, TN, SD, NV, CA, HI. Rising cases mean more Long COVID. Protect each other. 🚨😷 #COVIDisAirborne #MaskTogetherAmerica IG: instagram.com/p/DfF1vtpGWUy/… CDC: cdc.gov/wastewater/respirato…

Hello everyone! I wrote about the decision Jelly made to take out Alexis over Devin, why many of the standard principles of feminism do not apply on #Survivor, and what it means to support female contestants. I’d love to hear what you think! #Survivor51 fantasytribes.com/newsletter…

There is no engagement on my posts—no donations, no words, and no comments to encourage me. It feels as though no one cares about us or the difficult circumstances we are going through.😓 We live in a world that has no love for education or those who seek it—a world that wants us to remain in ignorance. As young people, we are becoming uneducated because no one encourages us, no one cares about us, and no one provides the resources we need for our studies. Instead, we have come to prioritize things that are entirely meaningless, at the expense of our education. Truly a regrettable matter.❕ chuffed.org/project/208112

the denial we are living thru is wild. If you just go to the wikipedia page on worst pandemics in history, it clearly lists covid19 as the 5th worst and shows the death count still rising as of 2026

👉"Mask-wearing effectively reduces short- and long-range transmission. We modelled surgical masks (50% filtration efficiency) and N95 masks (95% efficiency)" "N95 masks showed near-zero secondary infections across all outbreak scenarios"
University of Hong Kong researchers analyzed 40 airplane outbreaks of COVID-19 and flu. Infection risk was highest near infected passengers. Models found N95 masks nearly eliminated transmission, while doubling ventilation alone was insufficient. pubs.acs.org/esthag/article/…

Oof, that hit.
Men may admire intelligent women in principle, yet respond differently when confronted with their intelligence in person. As I told @JosieCox_NYC, it is another way women are considered 'never quite right' at work. fastcompany.com/91630773/the…

Now that the vote validated Jelly’s decision, I’m bringing back the article I wrote defending her decision and discussing what it looks like to truly support women as viewers! #Survivor #Survivor51

Daily N95 wear has been a life-changer for me. Not being sick for 6 years was like getting 14-21 days back per year from a single acute illness. Let’s say 84-126 extra healthy days. It’s incredible when you think about it. Masks on planes =no brainer. Daily public masking? Same.

one of my core wounds is that the main thing i remember being told over and over as a LITTLE GIRL was that i “cried too much” and was “too sensitive”
the thing abt “men aren’t allowed to cry” is that women aren’t really allowed to either. women get mocked and berated for crying, and their momentary tears are used to justify their exclusion from “serious” workplaces, environments and activities
