Just started triple anticoagulant therapy for long covid. Excited to see how it goes! I’m still taking tenofovir and the big improvement in brain fog from 15 days of paxlovid seems to be lasting so far. I’ll post updates & will probably take the anticoagulants for three months.

This is why you don’t just put a brace on it and play. Played with no ACL and LCL for my brothers/team. Changed the trajectory of my career. Hindsight is 20/20. I didn’t have the luxury of that. Lamar does. He is DOING THE RIGHT THING.

Studies show that one of the most effective ways to encourage people to take prevention measures is to talk about #LongCOVID, so it’s bad that the CDC went out of its way to omit masks on its Long COVID page.

One of the frustrating realities of the US welfare state is that people always say that while of course it would be ideal if we ensured housing, food, income, and healthcare for people, it’s simply impractical because too expensive. But we already largely do this; we just do 1/

People should read this because the and other leaders are not warning people about the risks, and are doing close to nothing to prevent covid infection. It can be a horror show for every part of your body if you get long covid.

Minimizers keep complaining about alleged over-counting of COVID deaths. But life expectancy has dropped in the US to a 25-year low due to COVID. The truth is, the US has performed terribly with preventing harm from COVID, & still isn't doing enough to stop harm from continuing.

when someone runs an experiment asking "what happens if you give people some money" the answer is, without fail, "their life gets better." No amount of research validating and re-validating this will ever be enough for the politicians who demand suffering as penance for poverty

new paper: the 2021 Child Tax Credit — which from July to Dec 2021 gave qualifying families up to $3,600 per child in auto monthly payments — not only appeared to “reduced child poverty by half” it also notably “improved the mental health of adults in the lowest-income families.”

Mississippi deserves leaders who fight for our families, children and workers rather than themselves and their rich friends. We deserve leaders who will never forget where they came from or who put them in office.
That's why I'm running for Governor of Mississippi.

Been trying to tell people induction cooking is better for a long time. Induction boils water faster and it's easier to get the exact temperature you want. This cooktop cost $70 & I never use the fancy gas stove that came with my house anymore. Plus no gas fumes in your kitchen!

First time cooking with an induction cooktop! I burned the first batch because I wasn’t used to how fast the pan heats up, but otherwise it went well. No gas fumes in my kitchen and it’s more efficient. #electrifyeverything not #cookingwithgas

Platte Fifteen is Downtown Denver’s first mass timber building. The cost premium over concrete or steel was less than 2%.
The embodied carbon savings was significant.
The office was nearly fully leased at TCO with some of the highest rents in the market.
