Why does Rebeka have to beg for 50c while a fucking white racist lady can raise $750 000 for yelling racial slurs at a Black child in a park?

Rebeka is a Black non-binary cancer patient who needs financial support to access healthcare.

They're not even asking for a huge amount. Help them????

Them: Yeah, probably.
Me: That’s why I mask.
Them: Smart move.
Me: Maybe you could think abou…

As COVID's long term consequences are revealed to the public, by brute force, what credibility will be left for all those physicians who minimized COVID and encouraged their patients to become infected again and again?

It will be a crisis for the profession of epic proportions.

We spent $150K in the last month and only raised $58K. Thankfully the earlier Itch Bundle fundraiser meant that we haven’t yet ran out.

All support is deeply appreciated to keep Gazans connected through forced starvation & colonial violence:

Shingles. HPV. Herpes. HIV.
We aren’t new to long lasting impacts from viruses.
We have been subject to a relentless barrage of propaganda when it comes to the relatively new (just over half a decade) but widely documented ill effects of post acute Covid infections.

More reasons why it’s important to wear a mask (preferably KN95 or better) in public spaces

Link: rollingout.com/2025/05/04/n...

This pre-symptomatic transmission accounts for a substantial portion of COVID-19 spread and explains why the virus proved so difficult to contain through symptom-based screening alone. An infected person feels completely normal during the initial contagious phase, unwittingly exposing others.
The contagious timeline typically follows this pattern:
1. Exposure to virus occurs
2. Virus begins replicating silently for 1-2 days
3. Person becomes contagious around day 2-
3 post-exposure
4. Symptoms typically begin days 3-5 post-exposure
5. Maximum contagiousness occurs from 1 day before through 3 days after symptom onset
This pattern means that waiting until symptoms appear before taking precautions leaves a dangerous 48-hour window where transmission freely occurs. Understanding this timeline explains why regular testing remains important even for those feeling well, particularly after known exposures.
