Sometimes I imagine what it would have been like had we adapted to Covid instead of giving up.
If we had clean air in public spaces.
Respirators in healthcare.
Free masks for those who need them.
Better tests & treatment.
Paid time off.
We would all be healthier.

It was six years ago today that a man in Wuhan, China began feeling ill.
He would become the first known COVID case.
Covid is still with us. It’s still killing and disabling.
Clean the air. Wear a mask. Get your boosters.

I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better.

The four kids shot in Stockton, California were 8, 9, 14 and 21.
Why isn’t that a national tragedy?
Why doesn’t that provoke the outrage that we saw with Charlie Kirk or the National Guard shooting?
This country doesn’t care about children. They don’t care about gun violence.

If the #WRPS were focused on community safety as a whole, rather than growing the institution itself, their budget would look much different, as would their engagement with residents and community organizations working on prevention and harm reduction.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
