bingo. Rose has hit the nail on the head!!!!

My hot take if you post and pimp and promote alt text but not mask up for us at the VERY least at healthcare facility.

You are still a rampant abelist

99.9% of ya can handle wearing one when in a HC facility ...
I walked off a job working for Rockwell Collins so I wouldn't harm a single pilot.

This was my engineering moral duty....

Pissed away a 90K a year job
Working on the F-35 program.

And I would gladly do it again..

This is what happens when A critical piece of infrastructure is maintained by a private cooperation that has Responsibility to the public.

And it only gets worse when that infrastructure is written by people who are not qualified for the job in a moral sense

I was reminded of Anne today. I saw that it's almost 8 years since she died.
I read her last words again.

I so wish the world would have been better by now. That her words had made the impact they deserved.
That we weren't still dying.

Bhattacharya's newest 1-page pandemic plan forcefully rejects the GBD, his previous 1-page pandemic plan.

It's really just an admission that he's not competent enough to control a virus and not caring enough to even try.

My latest devastating takedown.

Goodbye to Focused Protection. Jay Bhattacharya’s Latest 1-Page Pandemic “Plan” is for Vulnerable People to Stop Being Vulnerable.
Jay Bhattacharya's new "plan" is really an admission that if there's a new pandemic, he’s not competent enough to do any of the incredible things he “would have” done regarding COVID. He's not

This is another oft-undescribed thing! Often people who have "recovered" still experience PEM, just at much, much higher levels of activity.
Thread.

Even now, when I am 90% back to my pre-Covid baseline, I can experience PEM after going past my now-better (much!) limit. You say, “Hey! If I go past my limit, I am stuck feeling flu-like for two to three days!”, and they don’t listen.
The rationale behind these studies, Seltzer contests, is [that] “it presumes that the patient had never heard of exercise until a doctor told them [it] exists.”

Thanks to Simon Spichak for putting this idea into print. I've said multiple times in interviews that it's the strangest part... 🧵

Is it just me or do other Long Covid suffers read headlines like this one and think:

“No shit Sherlock! Welcome to the party. We’ve been telling you this for yearsssss.”

Followed immediately by gratitude for scientists investigating Long Covid to someday lead to treatments.

Uncertainty can be a major stressor for a lot of autistic folks. This isn't usually about control; it's about being able to prepare.

Knowing what's ahead allows us to understand what's expected of us and what we might need to meet those expectations.

Without that, we are more prone to overwhelm

ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event

If you have a medical emergency in ICE custody, there’s a chance you will simply “disappear”

Or you could end up like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel who was deported to Costa Rica in a persistent vegetative state.

He died soon after.

It’s also a very deliberate move to create huge groups of ‘others’ within the population.

Anyone who’s not white is an ‘other’.

Anyone who’s disabled is an ‘other’.

Anyone who’s not straight is an ‘other’.

They’re conditioning us to see these people as expendable:
ICE Enforcement May Be A Mass Disabling Event
ICE have proven again and again that they will target the most vulnerable. Their aggressive actions may even become a mass disabling event. Why aren't more people talking about it?

Note that like most syndromes, symptoms vary a lot; you won't necessarily see the full list of symptoms in any given case.
PEM is not a single symptom; it's a pathological state in which response to exertion is shock-like: drops in BP, drops in oxygenation, drops in HR, drops in temp, transient drops in cognitive ability.

And doing exercise more, or harder, or more often does not alter the nature of the response.

Quisling cowards. Yes, I know they have mortgages, debt, children, all that.

"You lives are less important to me than my job," is what they believe. Don't ever forget this.

They could have said no. It's *REALLY HARD*. I get that. But Jesus, people. Grow a spine.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

My whole life movement was my salve.

Big emotion - go workout.
Excess energy - take a Pilates class.
Calm the mind - yoga.
Feel like I’m flying - snowboarding/surfing
Engage with nature - go for a hike.

Now, it’s just… bed and couch with maybe a short walk when I can.

This is cruel.
