really don’t love raw dogging a serious neurological disease. fund research and clinical trials for long COVID and me/cfs now, and furthermore provide clean energy-powered hotel cold on demand for free for everyone.

Returning briefly to say that the ICJ ruling is significantly better than even I expected. Not only was the occupation ruled illegal, but the Court said it constitutes a racial segregationist and apartheid system. The Court advises the world to act. The Court ruled we are entitled to reparations.

I love a delauney triangulation

okay it's time for a prompt post: respond to this post with a correction to a common misconception about something you know a lot about. if you feel like it, boost your response. (please use a kindly tone about it, otherwise i, your prompt curator, will get anxious.)

I think there are lots of ppl that have lingering issues from covid, recover and never have to worry about it again. but it seems like the more fucked up you are, the less likely you are to recover and the more susceptible you are to decline w additional immune challenges.

I don’t believe most ppl have lifelong immune damage from covid but it sent my personal immune system straight to hell (purgatory? I’m not that severe)

Cold, Flu Virus Can Trigger Long COVID Relapseswww.medscape.com Those who treat and research long COVID warn that viral persistence and reactivation are real risks for some patients.

The very best VFX can't make our brains accept a cat driving a motorcycle (the proportion problem would be especially apparent in motion), but a drawing can do this easily

Comics are the superior form of media and this is proof.

gov. abbott seems very uninterested in preparing for and responding to storms for someone who was paralyzed by a tree toppled by a storm

I know Greg Abbot is a bad person but independent from that he seems to be an extremely bad governor even in ostensibly non-partisan parts of the job

Hello #PortfolioDay I make peculiar little paintings

that kurt vonnegut quote about artists being against the vietnsm war having the power of dropping a custard pie from 6 feet but it’s about long covid patients and the fucking recover initiative

another thing about the nih...a few years after my mom was diagnosed w MS in the 90s, a doctor told her that most patients have defective t cells whereas she had defective b cells. it sounds like leading researchers knew for years, even decades that treating b cell dysfunction could improve MS 1/

yeah it is absolutely fuck the nih, it's a real problem when angry patients are backed up by senators from both parties but no one can actually make the nih change course and do pharmaceutical trials instead of "brain retraining" (???). idk what the answer is, it's dangerous times for sure.

The perception of an inevitable fascist victory in Europe is largely just the wishcasting of mainstream media publications saying that fascist victory is inevitable. See how the BBC spins National Rally's loss.

So the questions isn't "does posting matter" but they might be "if I want to tie this to activism, how do I do this consistently and with a useful return on the time invested, and how can we make it more effective, is it worth building up?"
