Today is Dysautonomia Awareness Day.

This condition has been devastating to live with.

It’s so much more than “just fainting”

When your autonomic nervous system doesn’t work, you get issues with your heart rate, breathing, temperature, digestion, respirations & more.

Weekend plans? Come hangout in Ypsi this Saturday from 2-6 pm!

This event highlights the beautiful area that the regents of U of M and Los Alamos Labs (the creators of the atomic bomb) are angling to build an AI data center, despite the community being opposed to the plan.

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

Panda Express becomes the latest business to ban masks for employees, insisting that being able to see facial expressions is necessary for team building.

This is ableist & discriminatory. Employees have to apply to be allowed to mask, putting an undue burden on disabled staff.
Screenshot of a Reddit post from r/pandaexpress It reads Anyone else's store put up this notice? And then has a photo of a typed piece of paper which reads: At Panda, we are dedicated to providing a warm, welcoming, and engaging environment for both our guests and associates. Open and friendly interactions are a key part of our hospitality philosophy, and clear communication-including the ability to see facial expressions-enhances teamwork and guest service. To ensure consistency across all locations while balancing individual needs, we are introducing the following guidelines regarding mask usage for all associates. Policy: Beginning April 20, 2025 associates should not wear a mask covering any part of their face while working, unless required for specific job duties or safety protocols. • Guests are welcome to wear masks at their discretion. • Associates desiring an exemption to this policy for medical, religious, or other protected reasons should speak with their manager or HR. • This policy applies to all associates, both front-of-house and back-of-house, except in locations where local or state regulations require otherwise. • Associates in California should note that this policy is not applicable in California due to pending state legislation. Panda remains committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace and will work with individuals to address specific needs while maintaining a high standard of teamwork and guest service. This approach ensures consistency across our locations while allowing for appropriate accommodations when needed. Any accommodation requests must be submitted in the LOA/Accommodation Portal for review and approval.

a mask is the thing you’re looking for. it is the visible reminder of how things have changed, that you acknowledge we are not coveted “normal” times—but unlike donation-earned tote bags or symbolic beaded bracelets, the mask is community care in both form & immediate function.

COVID-19 levels remain high in the U.S. as our longer-than-usual winter surge continues. We’re also seeing a record-high seasonal flu season, as concerns about the bird flu H5N1 continue to grow. bit.ly/40YZ4QS
ID: An orange background and a meter indicating moderate to high national wastewater levels of SARS-CoV-2. The graphic reads: “THE SICK TIMES: This Week’s COVID-19 Trends Update. COVID-19 levels remain high in the U.S. as our longer-than-usual winter surge continues. While disease spread is decreasing in some regions, that decline is offset by increases and plateaus in other parts of the country. We’re also seeing a record-high seasonal flu season, as concerns about the bird flu H5N1 continue to grow. Experts remain really concerned about the risk of seasonal and bird flu strains mixing, particularly as news comes out that 1) another bird flu strain has jumped to cows and 2) house cats can pass the virus from birds to people.”

In our first video essay for The Sick Times, drag artist Taipei talks about how #LongCOVID impacts her work as a performer and how many spaces are inaccessible for disabled performers due to a lack of COVID-19 precautions. bit.ly/4i4Iw1x
Taipei is a drag queen in dramatic smoky eye makeup and a blonde wavy wig. She wears a hot pink patterned blouse and stands in front of a dark blue background. She describes her personal experience as a drag artist living with Long COVID, and explores how many in person drag shows are inaccessible to her. Reference images and footage are shown on screen.

Re: mask bans… it's once again becoming illegal to be disabled in public. As always, ableism relies on anti-Blackness & the ever present attempts to incarcerate & murder Black people for the crime of existing. The connection btwn anti-Blackness & ableism HAS to be part of the convo around COVID.

This is Charlie. He wore his new glasses to daycare. Only got them so he'd look smarter. 13/10 it's working
a mostly black cattle dog with brown legs and white around his face stands in front of a couple of his dog friends at daycare. bubbles are floating around in the air above them, and two ornament-sized soapy orbs are positioned perfectly in front of the dog’s eyes. he’s grinning with his mouth slightly agape.
