1,328 Americans died of C0VlD last week. It’s the 16th straight week with more than 1,000 deaths. They were assured by those they trust that it was safe to “live their lives” and they didn’t make it out of 2023. Year 5 of the pandemīc is under way with no sign of it being over.

Thin writers write fat characters in the weirdest way because they’re not interested in fat people’s real experiences, they’re interested in their imagination of what it would be like if they became fat.

An important take away in this story is that we tend to generalize that the older gens are dangerous and a problem (and in some cases that's true) but the kids are not alright. For every Greta Thunberg there are dozens of young boys being radicalized by ppl like Brand & Tate.

Recap: we asked @pl_henderson1 why @womensart1 excludes trans women. She replied that LBTQ people are promoted & blocked us, we pressed that only AFAB people are but got no reply, a TERF army descended on us to defend her, she liked & thanked them. @womensart1 is a TERF platform.
Popular platform @womensart1 seemingly never shares work by trans women, & misgenders & deadnames agender artist Claude Cahun. Why’s that, @PL_Henderson1? Do you promote women’s art or just cis women’s art? We’d love a suitable explanation please - so far you’ve not provided one.
The deep horror of this is that the silence from officials on #LongCovid does amount to a plan: let patients suffer and die. It doesn’t have to be this way.
“As long as SARS-CoV-2 transmission continues and few people are cured from #LongCovid, subjects with such disabling post-viral syndrome will continue to accumulate and will have to be properly absorbed and managed by currently unprepared systems.”

STATEMENT ON SC RULING:
Appointments are being canceled and folks are being turned away from clinics and hospitals as a result of today’s abhorrent ruling from South Carolina’s Supreme Court, banning abortion care in the state after six weeks.

Basically, if you support abortion funds and want to help them outside of donating, engaging with our content helps us get the word out and helps people find out we exist so we can help them.

The lack of fat girls in YA when I was a teen who existed for anything other than losing weight, being miserable, or being jokes seriously convinced teen me that I wasn't allowed to be the main character in my own life unless I got skinny

So that songbird is at it again. I still think it's probably a mockingbird. This thing sings from at least 8pm to 3:30am.

“The scans can’t show that obesity is causing the thinning of these areas, but it makes sense that controlling body weight might be a way to reduce the risks, she said.”
This one single study is about to cause fat people soooo much additional harm
Brain scans show patterns of shrinkage in regions involved in learning, memory and judgment.
Experts hope losing weight could reverse some of the damage. nbcnews.com/health/aging/obe…
