"The reality right now is that if you refuse to engage with the science- the science that shows that COVID is a virus that disables human beings, and that this virus is asymptomatic 44% of the time- then you are spreading a disabling virus, and you are harming people. "

Beyond all reason

Long COVID patients are constantly harangued about our requests for COVID safety. Yet what we're asking for is far less than what we're called on to do to survive.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Last Study Hall courses of 2025 start this week!

Study Hall @gostudyhall.bsky.social · 8d

Study Hall courses offer the best low-investment, risk free way to start, re-start, or continue your college journey! Where else can you take a college course that starts on YouTube, and only pay for the credit after you've passed the course?

Title card: Study Hall courses
Below is a composition notebook with 4 tabs sticking out. They read: Power and Politics in US Government, Real World College Math, Modern World History, and Intro to Psychology. To the right is a yellow post it note that says "take a top tier college course for just $25." Behind these objects are fall leaves. In the bottom right corner there is a brown notebook, and in the top left corner there is a matcha latte.

Having a community of friends would fix their problems more than having a gf

It also just absolutely enrages me how they have no interest in fixing it themselves. It must be on women. I see why it’s getting worse because women (rightfully) don’t want to take it on, and men just expect women to.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

→ ICE IS DETAINING SOMEONE.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I said this as a comment in the article thread but I’ll say it here too! She fought so hard to get her masters back since she said “you deserve to own the art you make”. It’s really disheartening to see that she once again only applies fighting for something when it directly affects her.
