If you didn't know already, today is a good day to learn that repeat covid infections🦠 increase your risk 📈 of long term illness♿️

Millionaires standing up for non millionaires in the same union is good actually

So, that's what I tell my students every semester about the university's namesake. In my opinion (clearly not my employer's), we should not have an institution (or street, or anything) named after this man.

3. If you utter the words "just a cat," you deserve the wasps.

YOU DON'T GIVE UP WASHING YOUR HANDS BECAUSE DOING SO HAS STOPPED YOU GETTING DIARRHOEA! 🤦🤦🤦

I was just having this convo today with a person who discovered their elderly parent was being treated like a forgone statistic in their assisted care facility. What a callous society we live in where the life of a vulnerable person is deemed of lesser value.

A person for whom I used to serve as Conservator just noted that this Chesterfield Hospital debacle (where they reinstated masking, infection rates declined, & so they removed masking) is very similar to cases of psychotic pts discontinuing their meds b/c they "feel better." /1

New to freezing temperatures? Set faucets to drip, open cupboard doors below sinks. Wear a warm cap & layers. If you lose power, ALWAYS sleep together with your children in the middle & layer blankets over and under everyone. Children freeze to death sleeping alone in the cold
