Here's the fourth installment of The Covid Chronicles, in which my condition deteriorates and I end up in the medical ICU.
It sure would be lovely if you'd consider subscribing. It's free, and I have no plans to turn on paid subscriptions ever.

Crazy Fevers and the Dehydration Dance
The doctors were doing their best, but they had no playbook to follow. So there was a LOT of trial and error.

Why Are We Still Talking About Covid?
People are lying about what actually happened. It's my goal to share my story (and others) and combat those lies with everything in my being.

He still intends to drive up the costs of your prescriptions with a pharmaceutical tariff
It's another scam upon scam

I am sick of hearing that colleges are liberal indoctrination centers (looking at you Ohio SB1). It isn't that universities are left-leaning, it's that so-called conservative voice viewpoints can't stand up to academic scrutiny and rigor in many cases.

We need to push back hard on claims deportees are “criminals.” Trump’s expedited deportations exclude hearings and due process. When people claim they’re all criminals they are lying. Everyone in the USA has due process rights #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

I love how the same idiot trumpers who literally blamed egg prices on Biden, and bragged that trump was going to magically bring them down, are all backtracking and saying he CAN'T do anything about egg prices.

The points made in this piece apply far beyond biology. Authoritarianism is a philosophy of death: set hierarchical categories, everyone & everything fixed in place, stasis. But life, the universe itself, is fluidity, evolution, fuzzy boundaries, constant change. Authoritarianism denies life.
"Modern breakthroughs in biology are producing a picture of life that is increasingly incompatible with authoritarian preferences for neat boxes that dictate what people are and how they should behave."
The same can be said for education, learning, and the brain!
