I don’t know how to say this without sounding harsh, but I need you to hear it. COVID — or SARS-2 — is not “just another cold.” It doesn’t leave you the same. Every reinfection stacks damage: brain, heart, immune system.

Had a splendid camping trip with no cell signal this past weekend then came back to the disaster that was unfolding back in the real world. I’ll hold on to the good moments for now. #oregon #camping #mthoodnationalforest

People continue to act like disabled & covid caution folks want to return to lockdowns. We don’t.
We want clean air in public spaces. Paid time off. Better access to testing. Free respirators and mandatory masking in healthcare.
Those steps would drastically reduce spread.

Beautiful and powerful memorial at the NIH today for what’s been lost through the cuts. This will be a weekly occurrence.

They told me parenting would be hard.
They didn’t say I’d be managing airborne transmission, collapsed institutions, and mass delusion before my morning coffee.

Academics: “Keep doing your work. It matters in and of itself.”
1/8. This week I had a few different conversations with scholars who, in the face of the attacks on science and institutions of learning in the U.S., are wondering what to do. One suggestion I have is: keep doing your work. It matters in and of itself. Why do I say that? A few reasons.

Ideas on how to prepare yourself when health and science information provided by our government can no longer be counted on. Although I’ll add, many of us had already lost faith in the CDC when it came to COVID information. But now it will be across the board.
A reporter asked me if all the scientists writing in opposition to RFK Jr. would have an effect on his Senate confirmation—a fair question. My response was along the lines of, “I don’t know, but the American people need to be aware of the enormous scope of the problem and prepare accordingly”.

For anyone in or near DC, here is a verifiable rally to share. It’s attached to well-known organizations. Beware sharing flyers of ones that do not show who the organizers are or who comes from questionable sources. Stay safe!
TOMORROW: We’re rallying at the Treasury building with @moveon.org to stop Elon Musk’s hostile takeover and tell this unelected billionaire to get his hands off our money. We hope you can join us if you’re in the D.C. area.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

“They will keep coming.”
People often ask me why I’m outspoken about trans rights. I’m not trans so “why do you care?”
I care because what the government is doing to trans people is wrong. I care because we are being conditioned to accept atrocities. 🧵

There have been a lot of people suggesting that maybe trans rights shouldn’t be such a priority for whatever opposition takes shape.
These suggestions are shortsighted, utterly monstrous, and must be completely ignored.
We don’t throw vulnerable people to the wolves hoping they’ll eat their fill.
