Proud dad moment.

My freshman daughter is openly masking at school — and wrote about it in her student paper.

In a culture that pressures kids to conform, choosing prevention takes backbone.

This isn’t about fear.
It’s about care.

If Chicago ever gets a @thepwhl.com team, I think the Chicago Ceres would be an incredible name. An artistic rendition of the statue atop the BOT, maybe with the stars drawn into her crown. She could also be holding a stick too.

🎯stated by Dr. Michael aka @internetuserf12 on Twitter:

"Being Covid-conscious is more than precautions and research. It’s grieving losses no one else will acknowledge, enduring mockery, protecting people who resent you, showing up for community the world says doesn’t..."

Something that comes up a lot in therapy is the daily gaslighting that CC folks deal with, regardless of how much the data tells us differently...
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

“We may be witnessing the emergence of a population-level acquired immune deficiency — not sexually transmitted, but airborne.”

That line isn’t from a tweet. It’s from a peer-reviewed paper in AJPM Focus (2025).

🧵*9/16/2025 noncooperation thread*

A daily thread of acts of noncooperation, noncompliance, defiance, & whatnot by individuals, communities, &/or institutions.

*

IL State Sen Villa, in heels, yelling for people to stay in their houses, yelling at ICE "THIS IS MY CITY." Not even a megaphone.
Karina Villa protecting her constituents by literally running ICE off the streets in West Chicago and yelling to residents to stay inside their homes.

It’s not “post-pandemic.” It’s “post-pretending to care.”

If you're looking for action after this week's SCOTUS decision, you can help families of trans kids can still get care in other states. We provide free air travel with both volunteer pilots and airline flights to make sure no one is left behind.

Sotomayor, dissenting, says the majority "does irrevocable damage" to the equal protection clause and "invites legislatures to engage in discrimination by hiding blatant sex classifications in plain sight." She fears the damage in Skrmetti will go well beyond gender-affirming care, and she's right.

Please do not fall for these lies. RFK Jr has cut funding to Long COVID research, disbanded Long COVID committees, and spread misinformation about COVID vaccines and treatments. He can not be trusted to meaningfully advance Long COVID treatments, and will only exploit vulnerable communities.
During the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee hearing with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. today, Kennedy testified that he is "100% committed to finding treatments for Long COVID."

The Sick Times will continue to follow the story.

My pop shared with me a piece in The NYTimes today about how to say ‘I Told You So’ you know, politely.

This is me being polite, and right, since day 1 🧵

The "brutality" is young men are being told that they have to be decent people and that no one owes them attention (especially sexual attention) just because they want it. They're being told that in order to get a good partner they have to be a good partner. The horrors of being treated like women
It's a brutal time for young men, and to be raising one. The primary message they now is get is "YOU'RE BAD" without any meaningful attempt to offer healthy pathways beyond "Don't be a boy."

Absolutely perfect time for right wing monsters to sweep in with shitty answers.

Just clarifying, though this is not difficult to grasp: Anyone working on an industry project with a notorious transphobic bigot is OK with transphobic bigotry.

The end.

something I really appreciate about Pascal is that he's using his position - which is very secure, he's hugely successful and they're not going to throw away a bunch of money firing him - to be this outspoken

it's important that everyone speak out on trans rights but especially big names
he’s right and he’s right to say it

You know the *only* reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure.

Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.

Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

Strap in y’all. Naturalized American citizens deemed “criminals” are next.

And up and up the privilege ladder until any dissent will get you considered an “enemy of the state.”

Of course the road to fascism has always been paved by people telling you you’re overreacting…
