Moreover, the cult of human suffering must be destroyed
homophobia and transphobia are a reaction against bodily autonomy and happiness itself. they want to torture us as an extension of the way they torture themselves.

Chronic illness is expensive—at LEAST $6k/yr (rheumnow.com/news/autoimm...), but prob more like 2x. + @lupus.org found 55% of ppl w lupus can no longer work full time.

For comparison: how do you calculate the social cost of wearing a mask in dollars? Is it 5 figures?

Do you have gettin sick money?

Problem is, not enough of y'all realized it has never once STOPPED being "eugenics summer," and when some of us tried to tell you it's woven through literally everything in Western society from our public health policies to even our basic linguistic conventions, you looked at us like we had 3 heads.

Public health is quiet on Covid’s damage by design. Govts, workplaces, schools, hospitals can’t be held accountable for not cleaning the air in absence of masking if you don’t know Covid is causing you chronic illness & disease. We all keep working, shopping, sacrificing health to prop up economy. 😷
Unfortunately most people don’t recognize their new onset conditions as a result of Covid (and dr’s aren’t helping/educating). Someone told me this weekend their friend had “unusually developed adult onset type 1 diabetes”. I told them that’s a likely post-Covid sequelae and they were surprised

Every day, starving Palestinians in Gaza have no choice but to try to get food for their families, knowing full well it’s a trap and they’re likely to be murdered. This bait-and-switch starvation/extermination move will be studied for decades, after it can’t matter. Unforgivable.

Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation.
The Last Hospitals in Gaza
In the ruins of a health-care system, many medical facilities have become graveyards. Doctors continue to deliver lifesaving care—but they risk their own lives in the process.

RFK Jr and the “MAHA” movement are wrong about health and disease at the most fundamental level, and their “strategy” to achieve a healthier country won’t just abandon the most vulnerable; it will target them.

Read my latest:

RFK Jr.'s "MAHA" movement doesn't want to eliminate chronic illness. They want to eliminate the chronically ill.
Public health, modern medicine and disease mitigation will suffer under RFK Jr. because he sees sick people- not sickness- as the problem.

The revolution will be accessible or it's not much of a revolution. Access is not just about disability access. Access also includes gender neutral bathrooms, sliding scale option, childcare, ending food desserts so folks can have access to nourishing foods, clean air and water, language justice.
