NYT Today: Any SARS-CoV-2 infection can trigger Long COVlD. Getting reinfected in perpetuity is like playing "Russian Roulette."
Long Covid as Russian Roulette Doctors tend to be more concerned about the chance that someone will develop long Covid from repeated infections than they are that a person will get very sick in the acute phase of the illness. Covid can cause long-term damage to nearly every part of the body and repeated cases can compound those harms. A number of studies have shown that each time someone contracts Covid introduces an opportunity to develop long-term symptoms. Researchers often compare it to Russian roulette: Any infection could be the one that leads to long Covid. “Every time there’s a wave, there’s another wave that’s going to follow with patients developing new onset long Covid,” said Akiko Iwasaki, an immunologist at Yale University.

When I talk to people about the ongoing impact of COVID, I find it helpful to lead with a concrete, undeniable indicator, which is that there are about 3,000,000 more disabled workers in the US than at pandemic onset.

it would make a significant difference (especially in a covid surge like right now) if people mask on public transit and flights, in airports, grocery stores, pharmacies, hospitals, and doctors offices at least

i feel like everyone needs to hear the *actual* words that were deemed as hate speech bc it very simply illustrates that regardless of how palestinian advocacy is delivered it can/will be twisted into something that it is not. we need to continue to block out the noise and defend what is right in our guts. it is the only way forward.

All of Ed Sheeran’s openers have now withdrawn from the Looper Tour. Please realize how big this is. This is what unity looks like. Billionaires are terrified of people realizing how strong they can be when we come together for a cause. Continue speaking out. Support the new artists that are deciding to put their careers at risk to take this stance.

Ed Sheeran’s band, Beoga, have dropped out of his tour: “We have made the decision to depart as Ed Sheeran's band on the remaining US Loop tour, following the silencing of Macklemore by zionist lobbies.”

This suicide prevention month I’m resharing one of my favorite articles on being passively suicidal. Really reframed my experience and gave me more ability to talk about it. If this is you, you’re not alone: theoutline.com/post/7267/liv…

I am not always very attached to being alive

Chronic, passive suicidal ideation is like living in the ocean. Let’s start talking about how to tread water.

Genuinely do think Dolly deserves a national holiday. You celebrate by buying kids books and being nice to each other. Coincides with the beginning of the school year. I’m emotional over her passing, but I’ll mean it a year from now just the same.

The fall of AI is coming. Amazon, YouTube, and Spotify are all quietly pulling back from parts of their AI systems. I don’t think it’s altruism. I think our refusal to play along is working. Keep saying no to Gen AI.

Ariana Grande has dropped out of ‘Sunday in the Park with George.’ (via PEOPLE) They also report that Grande plans to “take a step back from public visibility” after the end of her tour following “intensified public scrutiny.” (people.com/ariana-grande-tak…)

It's been four years since the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision opened the door to state abortion bans. Now, a new study finds those bans are hurting women who aren't seeking abortions at all. Researchers found delays in miscarriage treatment increase the risk to a woman’s health and fertility and prolong the grief of a lost pregnancy. @SarahVarney4 has more.
