yea that’s what stands out on this graph

I don’t think people are angry enough that bridges are collapsing, thousands are homeless, millions are hungry, a pandemic is running rampant, teachers and nurses are leaving their professions, and our government’s response is to endlessly increasing funding for police and war.

If you're tired of people saying they're 'done with Covid', that they want to 'move on' from the pandemic, get 'back to normal'... even as 3,000 people die on a daily basis & while ignoring Long Covid, this angry monologue from me tonight... is for you:

We've had 2 years to clean the indoor air in every classroom & office in America. We've barely scratched the surface.

do you remember how hyped the word "antidisestablishmentarianism" was when we were kids. it was all the rage. no one talks about antidisestablishmentarianism anymore

There's a naked woman on my bus and the only thing the bus driver did was yell at her to put on her mask. I'm dying.

Policies that support remote work could simultaneously help address 3 global crises: - rising gas prices due to war - climate change - spread of COVID But instead, our leaders would rather help landlords and oil companies get richer.

The price of oil dropped 20% over the last 7 days. The price of gasoline went up.

I never want to hear the word ‘overpopulation’ again. I’m tired of this for decades, ever since I was a child, for people deflecting attention from over-consumption & waste to blame non-white people for being born at all. It’s colonial white supremacist logic & ecofascism.😑

This is a good detailed article in the New York Times about the fentanyl overdose epidemic that does not mention police, prosecutors, or prisons a single time. nytimes.com/2022/05/11/us/…

Ask not what your president can do to bring down the price of gas. Ask what your mayor can do to make it possible to get around without a car.

Anyway, I would just say to all young fathers & prospective fathers: your cultural baggage tells you you must be firm, tough, stoic, disciplinarian. Your instincts tell you to be warm, supportive, silly, loving. Trust your instincts. And savor every second of it.</fin>

1/It's tempting to fixate on religious dogma at a time like this, but I'd encourage everyone to zoom out and look at the big picture. This is about more than dogma and theocracy, though it is about that too. There is a global war going on, and the Roe repeal is part of it.

IMO Part of the reason is the election Zero political will to act, particularly re farmers Recognizing Infectious diseases is at moment antithetical to getting elected Additionally, H5 is hitting up against a multi-agency issue - no one is responsible. WH should take lead
