Me at 17: "My thumb feels funny." My doctor: "Oh no. Let's call all the specialists." Me in my 50s: "I'm suddenly deaf in one ear, don't recognize my dog, am sweating blood, and I think my spleen stopped working." My doctor: "Have you tried Tylenol?"

Hi M&S - I’ve noticed you’ve started adding these baskets at the bottom of coolers in some of your food halls. They make it SO much harder to reach items as a wheelchair user. Could you please stop doing this?

For the 2nd time, a teen I know is preparing to ask her parents if they, as a family, can mask up. Previous effort fell on deaf ears, w/ parents pointing to lack of public health directives. Kudos to the kid, but this responsibility shouldn’t fall on them. WE are the adults.

Hey Covid-aware Canadians. If you ever visit Saskatoon, never stay at the anti-mask Riviera Motor Inn. My wife & I arrived for a night's stay and at check-in, the receptionist instantly stiffened when she saw us. This is what happened: R: Everything OK? Us: Yes, why? 1/5

A common sentiment I see expressed among the Covid-aware is "People think I have Covid & give me a wide berth when they see my respirator. I love it". I don't, and this is why. Irrational people are ultimately dangerous people. I'd rather deal with Covid apathy than 1/2

Frankly my only hope at this stage is that history looks back kindly on those that rang alarm bells, built air filters, and wore masks but got ignored, sidelined, and even ridiculed by society.

Interesting legal challenge to the Illegal Migration Act that includes arguments based on the Windsor Framework (ie the Protocol formerly known as Northern Irish), which includes a human rights safeguard. 1/2

A quote from a message about this study... "As we’re seeing with the Covid-19 inquiry we’re losing peoples’ true memories of what happened (or the witnesses are now dead and dying) and so many people are glossing over it all. The narrative of ‘lockdown was terrible’ seems to be

This week on A Different Drum (different drum dot Sub stack etc): personal responsibility, and why we need to rethink it to build community and protect marginalised people.

The Portuguese Order of Physicians (medical association) recently expressed its concern with the overcrowded and understaffed conditions in Emergency Rooms (ERs) here in Portugal. To do that, they used a picture where none of the 3 health care workers wear a mask. 🙄Clueless. 👇

I would really like to think that after 13 years of this damaging rhetoric, Tory conference after Tory conference, most the UK public understand that when government ministers talk about weakening rights protections it usually means a bad result for everyone. Every year they say

I was stood next to the heckler. In quite a soft tone he said “there’s no such thing as gender ideology” as Braverman was listing things she thought “woke” institutions were adopting. Security immediately swarmed him and escorted him out.

Cory Doctorow NONCONSENSUAL BLUE TICK (AFK) Megan Gray This thread captures perfectly my sentiment about Google search I developed in the last years. It's just not usable these days. Where back in the day you searched for a problem and landed on an obscure forum where they discuss your problem these days it's just endless SEO garbage

Any students of populism should study this passage well - uttered by our Home Secretary in 2023. It divides “ normal people” from …

‘After a much needed hand washing break over the summer, hand hygiene is once again mandatory in most hospitals in Canada.’ LOL can you imagine? This is exactly what we’re doing with masks and air hygiene though. It’s ridiculous. We’re being ridiculous.

I can't believe there are actually trained *immunologists*, *virologists*, and *epidemiologists* who actively promote "get infected with pathogenic viruses to stay healthy" in the 21st century. It's right up there with "viruses always evolve to be nicer to their hosts".

Positive. Bollocks. Less infected not never infected.

“It’s ok I said. We’re done.” She smiled and thanked me. The oncologist wanted another round, another trial, another drug. Jaundiced with as much meat on her, as a KFC chicken wing sucked dry, she was done. It was over. That’s how we came to the decision about her metastatic

I've no reason to doubt the provenance of this note from a Shropshire NHS Trust, but I genuinely wish it was fake. Short-sighted doesn't even begin to describe my outrage at this callous approach to staff and patient safety. Have we learned nothing? I only hope it's not UK wide💔

I miss the community but can't bear to engage here. I'm in places that are less cloudy and feeling better for it.
