fund research and clinical trials for infection associated chronic illnesses now, and furthermore provide clean energy-powered hotel cold on demand for free.
so, I don’t actually think that “address your own ableism before you become disabled” is actionable advice for most non-disabled people. I’d say instead that you should make friends with disabled people before you become disabled. like, close friends where you’re willing to help them out with stuff.

Peanuts get a bad rap, just because they kill people. But society has a double standard. Similar scrutiny isn't put on, for example, time. We're sick.

If this disease ends up only being understood only through personalized medicine, the majority of us will be left behind. Most of us do not have that kind of money.

the other thing is that before you demure on 'electability' I want you to ask yourself who could get an army of volunteers absolutely thrilled to be a part of the campaign. who could be, in terms of energizing the base while appealing to the disaffected, our Trump?
the thing about AOC 2028 that reminds me of Trump 2016 is that it seems obvious *somebody* will take her down but as soon as you get to individual names you have your doubts anyone actually can
I'm still long on AOC, I think she'd consolidate the progressive lane if she ran while half a dozen centrist assholes duke it out to see which one can most convincingly refuse to imagine a better world

I know this isn’t real but sometimes I hope that #something will randomly happen to cool the earth down a little bit. some unpredicted tipping point that takes us back. idk.

there are 5 phenotypes. there are 3 phenotypes. there are 8 phenotypes. but one thing we all agree on is that it primarily affects people over the age of 50.
long covid may be “one of the most researched diseases of all time” but unfortunately most of it is biostatistics slop

138 years ago today, Congress signed the Dawes Act into law. You may have never heard of it, but this law redrew the map of the United States.

if we succeed at abolishing ice/dhs, ending deportations and embracing multiculturalism, we will save millions of lives over the next decades of climate crisis.

Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade.

The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances.

Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.

Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

Bad Bunny’s beautiful and joyful portrayal of Puerto Rico stands on the shoulders of Kendrick Lamar’s love letter to Compton last year.

Watching the biggest performance in the world become a representation of real people in real, American places is beautiful. #SuperBowl

Hi everyone, I have a last minute doctors appointment in LA and transport costs $450 plus the medical hotel $400. If you have any spare change would appreciate help ❤️

I know you always see me posting about work but it is all essentially for the free.99. 😞 Praying one day that’ll change.

For example: if 84% of people already agree that scientific research aimed at advancing knowledge is usually a worthwhile investment over time...

Why are you so sure that the real problem is that people "just don't know enough about why research matters"

I’ve been noticing lately some too specific language in health scams directed at people with ME. And I was thinking it has to be LLMs.

Concentration camps are the defining issue in public health right now. Measles and TB outbreaks, healthcare being withheld as punishment for your race. It is not enough simply to turn the grants tap back on. To do so would make us the same as the Nazi scientists who discovered smoking causes cancer
