'The long COVID figure for those at the lowest income levels was a staggering 50%, versus a 29% average for all adults and 22% for those at the highest income levels.'

Class had tremendous influence on who got COVID in the first place, and now it's long-term outcomes. Best health care in the world!
Poverty and Long COVID Go Together
The lowest income Californians are more likely to have lingering symptoms, and more likely to lose jobs.

just got an email from Skims debuting their bra with molded nipples & I say fuck that. Let's buy bras with molded hollows where the nipples should be, just absolute abyssal chasms right in the middle of each bra cup

Had noticed the British Library site wouldn’t load so I went over and sure enough they are the subject of a massive cyberattack. “Catastrophic,” a librarian I know there said. Site may be down for days or even weeks, he thought.

I used to think people stopped believing in vaccines because they never saw--and could not imagine--the awful diseases that they wiped out. All the great vaccine success stories were in their past.

Then maybe the greatest success of all time happened right in front of them and it only got worse

A year of reporting, and maybe the scariest story I’ve ever worked on—the cyber-stalker targeting Asian Americans www.theverge.com/c/features/2...
The obsessive tormenter who made professors’ lives miserable
It didn’t matter if she knew you — if you were a professor and Asian American, you were a potential target.

This is TERRIFYING and again please note that while many white professors were getting Washington Post threads and philanthropic support , they and the groups that supposedly advocate

Said almost NOTHING about their Asian and Black colleagues being attacked

If you’re wondering how those that aren’t masking during an ongoing pandemic are *really* doing. 👇

This is the pharmacy at my CVS behind this there are more racks. It did not look like this pre covid whatsoever.

By the end of September, more than half of the world’s countries could fit inside the land burned this year in Canada.

“I can’t think of any analogy for the extent to which the modern records were not only broken but destroyed here,” says climate scientist John Abatzoglou.

This Scholastic controversy just made me realize that using "diverse" just to mean non-white or non-straight is the way it goes now, another special category to be put into. Diversity has to include everything or else it isn't diverse. Otherwise, it's just a new way to say black or queer or whatever

This is so real. I’ve reported on this over the years in many forms. Coral reef scientists. Conservationists caring for endlings. Public health workers in the pandemic. Journalists covering all the above. The people bearing witness are not okay.
One unexpected thing in my qualitative study w natural scientists (one-hour interviews) is how deeply, deeply sad the climate scientists are. They say things like "you have enough information from us, why won't anyone act?" -- the psychological distress these people are enduring is very great.

Folks, look, Scholastic is only a billion-dollar juggernaut that dominates the children’s book industry. What are they supposed to do about fascist book banning and censorship in the face of 11 racists sending angry emails? Whatever they want because they literally can? C’mon. Be reasonable.
