Hey kids, you need to start worrying a little less about getting “#mogged” and a little more about getting “#smogged”. This is an Air Quality Index public service announcement.

Everyone could be creative as fuck about masking, but instead we get a society that fears respirators more than the diseases they prevent.

Book that was good: I liked it 👍

Book that was bad: this sucked 👎

Book that I wanted to like but which failed to live up to my hopes: I am going to write 10,000+ words explaining exactly why this book wronged me

Upwards of 24% of trans people have long covid. And that's just the largest percentage. Other queer people are also suffering from long covid at higher rates than the general population. It's specific because we're abandoning around a quarter (and growing) of our community for the façade of normal at pride and other events. For context, AIDS became a rallying point for activism and care when only ~10% of the gay community was affected.

If you believe you would have cared for AIDS patients and marched for Act Up in the 80s and 90s and you aren't wearing a mask in 2025, no you wouldn't have.

From three cases two weeks ago to more than two dozen confirmed and a couple hundred possible cases across the world today. "The risk to the public is low" and "it doesn't spread easily," though.

If you ever wondered why they call tattoos and piercings "unprofessional" and "unsophisticated"

The Long Covid paradox: everywhere but nowhere

Comment from Victoria University: In 2022 NZ’s Long Covid response showed promise, but it’s hard to justify our business-as-usual approach n

People value narrative over reality and it's so frustrating... Long Covid is a pressing, growing issue, and the first, best way to deal with it is to minimize the spread of covid to keep people from developing new long covid and keep people who have long covid from getting worse.
