My plant collection... it's a bit out of control. This is just a part of it. The one at the bottom with the lime green and dark green leaves was a total impulse had to have today. I'll probably kill it.

The timing of this stinks too. Since Dec I've known more pple who have been sick since the worst wave. They've been sick for longer too + some have had back to back "something". 3 families on antibiotics. Things are taking a different turn and the CDC further encourages spread

Get Covid enough times and you, too, will be in the vulnerable groups the CDC considers dispensable.
“The plan to further loosen isolation guidance when the science around infectiousness has not changed is likely to prompt strong negative reaction from vulnerable groups, CDC officials and experts said.”
NO FUCKING SHIT. And not just from “vulnerable groups”, either.

The right wing El0n fans are lapping up that interview like Putin is the hero of the world who always tells the truth. What a f'ed up mess we are living in. I knew things were going to get bad but I really didn't see this level of insanity coming. Tucker looked like a star struck fan boy.

Republicans are preparing to ban abortion nationwide if they win (see: Jonathan Mitchell.) Yet Biden continues to regurgitate abortion stigma rather than explain the true stakes of the election, and forcefully campaign for women to have more rights than fetuses

Israel has seized hundreds of workers from Gaza who were working in the country w/permits. One reports being beaten before being thrown into the PA-run police training center in Jericho, where hundreds are now held, desperately trying to contact their families. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/1...
For Gazan workers stranded in Israel, being apart from family is agony
Gazan workers stranded in Israel have sought refuge among fellow Palestinians in the West Bank, uniting across political and geographic divides.

Paxlovid will be free through 2024 for those with govt insurance or no insurance, HHS & Pfizer say, through a patient assistance program. And commercial price isn’t yet announced - 3-5x increase is one analyst’s suggestion. But doctors said they were concerned any increase could hamper access

So weird how as soon as the pandemic started it became very immediately clear that things like socialized medicine and giving people money so children don’t starve actually work really well but now that it’s been a couple years we have to all pretend we didn’t notice that
