  The personal cost for telling the truth when people were actually concerned about covid was immediate and lasting. I was tagged in threads alongside senior immunologists who dismissed the ideas outright, accused (implicitly or explicitly) of fearmongering or misinterpreting preliminary data. These characterizations spread quickly on social media, embedding themselves in timelines and memories. People lied about me. Zeynep and Jeremy Kamil said that I had paid for my own PhD, when it was actually...

  The regulatory failure is staggering. OSHA requires employers to provide bathrooms and handwashing facilities. The Field Sanitation Standards have existed since 1987. They require toilets, handwashing stations, and clean drinking water for handwashing. But enforcement is a joke. Farmworkers are excluded from most labor protections. They’re disproportionately immigrant, disproportionately undocumented, and disproportionately afraid to complain because complaining means getting fired or reported t...

  The conditions’ health and financial burden still strongly outweighs the funding. “It’s not a priority, despite having a major destructive influence on our society,” says Chris Ponting, a geneticist at the University of Edinburgh, UK. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-02683-2 #LongCovid #PublicHealth #CovidIsNotOver

  A new study published today in eBioMedicine, part of the Lancet portfolio and one of the most rigorous journals in clinical medicine, provides what researchers describe as the clearest physical evidence yet of what long COVID is doing to the brain. Using the same imaging technology used to detect early Parkinson’s disease, a team led by Jeffrey Meyer at the University of Toronto scanned the brains of 24 long COVID patients and 24 healthy matched controls. They were not looking for general inflam...

  The quiet normalization of COVID-19 in our society has come at the great expense of school-age children and adolescents. https://thesicktimes.org/2026/07/24/the-sick-kids-arent-alright-observations-from-a-teacher-with-long-covid/ #PublicHealth #CovidIsNotOver

  Climate change functions here as a shift in the background forcing under which every one of these coupled systems operates. It changes probability distributions. It increases covariance across domains that used to fail independently of each other. It erodes slack. Failures that once arrived one at a time synchronize. A local shock that would previously have stayed local propagates into cascade. The literature on this is explicit — for example Brovkin et al. (2021) and Lawrence et al. (2020) — bu...

  Mike Hoerger: Even when the CDC indicates that a state has "Very Low" COVlD levels, it is important to note that there are sometimes still hotspots. The CDC uses the state's median (middle value). If 51% of wastewater sites are "Very Low," the whole state will use that category.

  I am 34. The last time Boards of Canada released an album, I was 21. The teaser track is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Multiple people in the comments have mentioned people who they love, who are no longer alive, who would have loved to hear it. Their ghosts permeate the mood. Tape 05 doesn't sound like hope. Not to me. It sounds like the somber recognition of what was declared in Tomorrow's Harvest. It does sound like comfort, though. Comfort for times we knew w...

  I am all that you need Wandering underneath You will vow to me All your secrecy I am what you crave I am your husk depraved I am what you pray for And lie for and lay for I am coming through you Winding up the seams I am slipping through to Places 'fore you see I am all of this disease I am all of this disease I am all of this disease I am all of this

  Most trans people, everywhere they go, have to be the outnumbered loser who cares about the anti-trans movement, and who notices how that movement lodges itself in “safe” territory, in order to make calling it out look crazy and unreasonable. The most powerful thing you can do in this situation doesn’t concern your attachments, or even your beliefs. It’s giving up on the idea that there is such a thing as safe territory. A kid’s book, a magic wand, even the idea of joy itself can be a tool used...

  And they just…took it. They took the best work of my mind and used it to build the very thing that is actively ruining just about everything all the time. They took the books I wrote for children and used them to make it possible for children to not bother with reading ever again. They took the books I wrote about love to create chatbots that isolate people and prevent them from finding human love in the real world, that make it difficult for them to even stand real love, which is not always agr...

  Public health isn't some privilege that successful societies get to enjoy when every other condition is met, it is the foundational condition that must be met before any society can be successful
