Your regular reminder that the COVID pandemic is NOT over. Please use language accordingly. Don’t refer to ‘during the pandemic’ or ‘post-COVID’ or ‘since COVID’. We are still in the thick of it - wave after wave. People are still dying or becoming disabled from Long COVID

This is a great link if you would like reading material on the disinformation I'm referring to! :)

I appreciate liberals suddenly caring about disinformation again, but those of us that've been tending this home fire for the past four years are gonna need y'all to recognize the covid disinformation you need to undo in your own mind if you want to stand in solidarity with disabled people.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

This is Céline Haidar, a Lebanese national team footballer.
Céline now lies in intensive care, critically injured after being struck in the head by Israeli shrapnel in Beirut.
If she were Ukrainian, her story would be everywhere. But because she’s Lebanese, the world is silent.
