Jeri Dansky<p>According to a recent Gallup survey, 41% of Americans don’t fall for the “Covid is Over” line we so often hear.</p><p>Also interesting — the 40% number here was a surprise to me:<br>“47% of U.S. adults said their lives are fully back to pre-pandemic normal, while 40% said they think life will never get back to normal.”</p><p>However, there’s also this:<br>“Relatively few say they are wearing a mask regularly.”<br> <br><a href="https://www.livenowfox.com/news/americans-say-covid-pandemic-over-5-years-later" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">livenowfox.com/news/americans-</span><span class="invisible">say-covid-pandemic-over-5-years-later</span></a></p><p>h/t <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://aus.social/@DenisCOVIDinfoguy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>DenisCOVIDinfoguy</span></a></span><br><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Covid</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Covid19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Covid19</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/CovidIsNotOver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CovidIsNotOver</span></a></p>
Grayson (he/him)<p>I will also add that we all need to be a little more mindful of communicating information, what we’re sharing publicly or on social media, etc.</p><p>Consider using more secure methods of communication, especially if you’re involved in activism or are part of one or more communities this administration is targeting.</p><p>If you need resources here, please let me know.</p>

Grayson (he/him)<p>Even if you don’t live in New York, reaching out to your elected officials is important. </p><p>First, they need to know about this situation (if they don’t already).</p><p>Second, they need to know that Mahmoud is just the first person they’re trying this on — this will not stop with him unless there is a huge and concerted effort to push back against these illegal and unconstitutional moves.</p>
Grayson (he/him)<p>Call your elected officials, especially if you live in New York.</p><p>Here’s a helpful conversation starter, from Greg Pak on bluesky <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/gregpak.net/post/3ljzpnrgvlk25" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bsky.app/profile/gregpak.net/p</span><span class="invisible">ost/3ljzpnrgvlk25</span></a></p>

Grayson (he/him)<p>It is so hard to remember all the tools, exercises, and options I have to try to manage my health. I&#39;ve tried so many systems and tools, but I always forget basic things.</p><p>And, it&#39;s been hard to figure out how to help my partner, friends, and family members best help me feel better.</p><p>So, today, I finished making a video game.</p><p>graysongoal.itch.io/feel-better</p><p>If you struggle with executive function or remembering how to do self-care - &amp; you have chronic pain - this free game might help you, too.</p>

Grayson (he/him)<p>If folks know neurologists or patient orgs in the Midwest or Appalachia (preferably Ohio) who know Stiff Person Syndrome, I&#39;d love to hear about them.</p><p>TIA!</p>
Grayson (he/him)<p>I went to urgent care today &amp; got both Prednisone &amp; muscle relaxers for what I&#39;ve assumed since Sunday was a pinched nerve.</p><p>X-rays showed that my thoracic spine&#39;s scoliosis is getting worse... and my cervical spine / neck is straightening.</p><p>Based on my symptoms, the doc thinks I might have Stiff Person Syndrome (like Celine Dion).</p><p>The symptoms make sense.</p><p>This was overall not news that I was prepared for today, though. I&#39;d ideally like to STOP collecting goddamn rare diseases.</p>
🌈 Tilly Bridges ✨<p>it&#39;s also intentional misgendering, btw</p><p>which shows your acceptance of someone&#39;s pronouns is conditional on you approving of them, meaning the second you don&#39;t like something a trans person does you&#39;ll misgender us, too</p><p>pronouns and names are not jokes</p><p>just use all his very bad words and actions!</p>
🌈 Tilly Bridges ✨<p>psst c’mere a sec</p><p>stop calling Musk “Elonia”</p><p>it disrespects a real name, something transphobes do</p><p>it perpetuates that it’s funny for a perceived cis man to be associated with femininity, something transphobes do</p><p>Musk is a horrid transphobe, you are helping him and hurting US</p><p>please stop</p>
