There’s no such thing as mild Covid, even if the acute stage of infection felt mild or asymptomatic

Every Covid infection leaves damage. A heart attack or stroke in waiting 🫀🧠

Vaccine doesn’t prevent infection, it might prevent Long Covid and keep you out of hospital. N95 is your best protection 😷

“Epidemiological studies have begun to show a concerning trend: individuals with a history of COVID-19 infection are at an elevated risk for developing diabetes, often within months of recovery...” This has actually been known for years, but I’m glad to see more attention on it.
Unseen Post-COVID Diabetes: Causes and Forecasts
As we navigate through the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the most alarming outcomes is the increasing prevalence of diabetes among those who have been infected with the virus.

Victor Manuel Diaz, 36, was abducted in Minneapolis. He died in ICE’s El Paso detention camp 8 days later on Jan 14.

ICE calls it suicide.

They didn’t send his body to the El Paso County ME who just classified another “suicide” at that camp a homicide. They sent him to an army medical center.

I think about Elijah McClain a lot. How he was a sweet, lovely young soul who used to play the violin for stray cats. How brutally his young life ended and how the State sent riot police to interrupt the violin vigil in his name. The cruelty was always the point.

COVID is vascular not a cold!

Gently. Quietly. Secretly. That no one talks about. That nobody has told you.

If we're calling for not giving $$$ to Hootsuite because of ICE (totally agree), but you have a paid substack in yer profile... please be aware they are on the list too. Why? Here you go. Let's do the hard work. Migration is possible and doable, and we'll support the move.

Substack is an awful place to post, too (though thankfully not Canadian) as they also openly support fascists and any paid subscription helps fund them doing so. I truly hope Canadians will get off that horrific platform, as there are so many alternatives that don't do the crap they support.

Drop the names of any Canadian companies you’ve seen working with ICE in the comments.

I’m aware of Gardaworld, Roshel, Hootsuite.

Would love to gather any and all other names.

The reason why you don’t know how to process what is happening is because you found it permissible when you were under the illusion it could only happen to other people.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

No more tone policing and kindness-washing. Everything that's happening in the US right now should be assumed to be a preview of the consequences of electing a Conservative Prime Minister in Canada, and of a separated Alberta under the UCP and the brownshirts they want to replace the RCMP with.
Canada's Conservative Party is denying press credentials to media outlets while handing out 'content creator' passes to partisan personalities.

This is a tactic straight from the USA's White House.

"NPR Voice" flattens vocals to sound professional. But the brain needs what are called Prosodic Cues like pitch and volume changes to process information. Being monotone doesn't help comprehension and can limit what you want to communicate to the listener.

Prosody is the hierarchy of sound. We speak louder and slower for new ideas. We speak faster and lower for old ones. If you deliver everything at the same speed and volume then your listener cannot tell what matters.

Try the "Why Pass" on your next script. Go through your segments and ask "Why do I care?" If you are angry about the topic then be angry. If you are excited then be excited. Practice at level 11 emotion, then do your regular read and see what happens.

You can't fake your charisma because of mirror neurons. When you speak with passion your listener's brain simulates that physically. Faking it = their mirror neurons stay dormant. "Deep Acting" communicates your genuine feelings about why you care about the topic.
