NYC Mayor Eric Adams has again stated he supports a ban on masks
Disabled activists have been screaming about the dangers of mask bans since they were enacted in North Carolina.
We are still IN a pandemic. Masks are a public health tool that should never be banned.

When I see a doctor who is judgmental of my COVID precautions, I see an 1847 physician who mocked Ignaz Semmelweis for suggesting that washing hands prior to delivering babies would prevent maternal deaths.

I really like old herbarium illustrations. Last year I wrote some software to parse, score, and process the Oxford 400 herbarium dataset to remove the paper background and select the best photos.

Feels like a good time for a thread about all things exercise for people living with infection (and exposure)-associated complex chronic illnesses (IACCs) such as #MECFS, #LongCOVID and chronic #Lyme /tick- and vector-borne illness. Let’s start with a trip down memory lane.

9. Of course, it's fine to lose respect for someone if their behaviour merits it. It’s fine to dissociate from them. Even then, we should not lose our self-respect by stooping to their level (always a danger on X, where everyone gets dragged into the mud). Here, let’s be the society we want to see.

8. A society of mutual respect means something entirely different. It means recognising everyone’s humanity. It means applying both the golden rule and the platinum rule. It means that social status has no bearing on social regard. Ultimately, it means overthrowing the concept of social status.

She says “yes” but laments her air purifier was worst present she ever got, she barely uses it & has “no idea” if it made any difference.
