    Just seen a tweet from a United fan saying Ronaldo has tested positive of being the greatest player in the world. A scouser replied ‘thank god he’s not showing any symptoms! 😂😂😂😂😂

    Remember when all of these big time law firms and corporations were supposed to fight for voting rights? How many of them actually leaned in? And how many have returned to giving money to the insurrectionists on Jan. 6? ALWAYS follow the money.

    Anyway this is all stuff I kinda knew already. I'd seen studies here & there. Yesterday was supposed to be finding the 5-10 studies on it & moving on. But turns out the volume of data we have on "obesity & metabolic disease come from stress & trauma" is goddamn overwhelming.

    Screenshot of my desktop trying to manage all the data: a Word document page full of study links, plus my Chrome window with a couple dozen tabs of studies still needing to be sorted through.

    Veggies & cooking from scratch are great & all! Healthy food is a fine & good thing. But it's no substitute for sleep, PTSD treatment, & ending domestic violence & overwork. And that's how health food is being sold. Sorry folks, farmers markets are capitalism too.

    An important source of chronic stress: untreated PTSD. Which is surprisingly common- a lot of us pick it up very early. has done a lot of work on this in marginalized communities. Her TED talk on it is unmissable.

    I just think it's funny how ~the obesity epidemic~ started at the same time that falling real wages, longer work hours, & longer commutes started to eat away at Americans' sleep time almost like it's a symptom of larger-scale societal problems that are profitable for some people

    Bar graph showing the % of Americans sleeping fewer than 6 hrs/night (healthy sleep is 7-8 hrs for most adults) in 1985 & 2004. 5-10% more men and 7-10% more women are in the "less than 6 hrs/night" category in 2004 than 1985.

    I can’t either. Can you?

    this poem by mary oliver is the mood for 2022

    Don’t Hesitate by Mary Oliver, which goes as follows: “If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, be very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that’s often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.”

    When talking about , what is “mild” for one person can be a death sentence for another. Please check your compassion and watch your ableism. ✌

    Advice for parents with older kids who test + (and there will be many cases of this)- PLEASE DO NOT ISOLATE YOUR CHILD from a parent-they lack the cognitive ability to handle this & likely feel guilt/sadness over the chaos. Wear a mask and stay with them. They need you.

    If your school district is not taking the latest surge seriously, keep your children home until they do. shared a thread today about "mild" COVID and children. It's terrifying. See below.

    Reading other parents' accounts of back to school tomorrow and all the more impressed that our district sent every student home for break with two PCR tests and has online system to upload results.

    I saw someone point out recently that 'living with cholera' involved massive investment in public works to build sewer and drinking water systems and it's been rolling around in my head ever since.
