Everyone cheered when I sang a song about accessibility but part of accessibility is protecting people who are more medically fragile, performers and audience members, so they don’t have to stay home all the time. I don’t think you understand how scary being on tour is for me.

The rich be sure to have clean, ventilated air for themselves But the rest of us are gaslit into not wearing masks for our protection, into not demanding more from politicians, and into believing the pandemic is over

If you've been following me for a while you'll know that I bang on and on and on about hepa filters. Turns out the world's richest and most influential use them. Also, I suspect, improved ventilation. What do you spot in this picture? There are two things that leap out.

If you see a mask, wear a mask. If you're indoors in a crowded area, wear a mask. If you think someone in the room may be having treatment for cancer, if you are around older or disabled people, or know that there's a possibility someone has an invisible disability - #WearAMask.
A girl wearing a mask sitting in a wheelchair. The text reads, if you see a mask, wear a mask. You wouldn't smoke indoors around others, because it might hurt them. Be considerate and keep people safe. You don't need to ask - just wear a mask. There is the image of an inverted black triangle.

One of the world's foremost coronavirus experts says covid is so serious it has set the world back decades. Jeremy Nicholson says "all the efforts made in preventative medicine over the last 30 to 40 years have been negated by covid-19.” afr.com/life-and-luxury/heal…
This professor is a global coronavirus expert. Now he has long COVID

This professor is a global coronavirus expert. Now he has long COVID

Jeremy Nicholson is a world-leader in understanding how disease interacts with people’s genetic make-up. But when he got long COVID, he had a whole new level of insight.

Abundance dies twice - in the field, and in memory. One of the greatest struggles facing all restoration-initiatives in conservation is the tyranny of low expectations. People begin complaining about beavers or wolves being overpopulated once their numbers reach over 1/80 km^2

This is what an elephant herd is supposed to look like. Tsavo, Kenya in 1976
Image from Gunjan (@Lost_Nostalgic)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This photograph is not of a healthy herd. It was taken in the 1970s during a period of horrific drought, leading these animals in desperate search of water. More than 6,000 elephants died during this drought. markdeeble.wordpress.com/2014/05/18/hau…
