You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

We’re entering a new era of childhood mortality & disability, & almost no one will care bc they’ll just get used to “the new normal” within a few years. They’ll ignore the harm.

thank goodness they “ended the pandemic” for the economy (and Delta Airlines). looks like that turned out well and had no major negative impacts on our political, social, or economic systems.

We are going to have to get better at counselling young people with late stage cancer. We are going to see a lot more of this, as people don’t realise they are at risk, and to take symptoms seriously.
Sometimes diagnoses will be missed because we don’t expect them.

One of the sequelae to covid is MCAS, and one of the big symptoms of that is acquiring exciting new allergic reactions to random things.
You can suddenly behave allergic to deodorant, soap, wheat, chocolate, garlic, milk, cheese (and anything what contains histamines, such as leftovers), etc.

A great episode that should be required listening for everyone.
How has the media contributed to manufacturing consent for COVID to be “over” (and the decline of public health in general)? New episode ft. @juliadoubleday.bsky.social and @wanderingkayli.bsky.social as well as some comments from former COVID-19 Technical Lead at the WHO, Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove
In the editing room! 🎙️ Bad Press: how the media manufactures consent in the era of COVID. Public health is often in the news but it’s not always covered well. Power influences the narratives we hear from outlets and journalists. Coming soon w/ Julia Doubleday + Kayli Jamieson. Don’t miss it! 🩷💚💀
