Read it. He's literally advocating for Mussolini/Hitler-style violent fascism and bigotry. He is advocating for violence, arresting people who don't align with the new Right Wing 'radicals', and for people to sacrifice themselves for the good of the Nation. Fucking bananas.

My son is sick so his voice is all congested-sounding and he asked me for crepes for breakfast. So I googled a crepe recipe, made a crepe even though I never have before. Put it down in front of him and he was like “these are grapes?” He just wanted some grapes.

Feels like some docs are really attached to the unscientific invention of “immunity debt from the lockdowns” because of the moral hazard involved with allowing themselves to consider other possibilities. That they won’t even *consider* alternative explanations is telling.

The number of people in the comments replying "just turn the shirt inside-out!" despite the last line of the FIRST TWEET. Assuming avoiding disenfranchisement or violence is one clever trick away-- that you'd spot-- is real hubris.

Kanye’s team dumped all the “white lives matter” tees on skid row. Not thinking about the consequences of the people that live there wanting a shirt to keep them warm with something that could put them in harms way. There are people with language barriers in that community.

At a scientific meeting, a maskless doc - I am sorry I am without a mask, I just had covid 4 wks ago & hope to be immune. Also, a masked doc - I closed my clinic as I don't think an exam room now is a good place of practice for a doc who is immunosuppressed transplant recipient.

My conversations with my niece are bringing up a lot of old feelings for me, but also teaching me. She's having serious lower back pain shooting down as I did around onset; fixed by Bs, so I guess nerve pain? My inciting event was herniating L4 & L5. Hers is... definitely not.

The issue with leaving ME out of the discourse can be seen clearly here. We now have medics who know how to diagnose Long Covid but still have no idea about ME as happened here with Jamie’s niece:

My niece is apparently ready for ME/CFS diagnosis; she has PEM. She told her doctor about her symptoms. Him: "I have a hypothesis... it's like #LongCOVID but with EBV? I read a thing about LDN and modafinil for this?"

GO HOME UK YOU’RE DRUNK. An absolutely mine-boggling series of unfortunate events which, as an American, I had only caught the edges of til now.

Boy, am I glad I waited until after 1:30 to do #TheWeekInTory 1. It seems an age, but only 6 days ago Elizabeth Truss, an anagram of Haziest Bluster, promised parliament she “absolutely” stuck to her leadership promise of “not planning public spending cuts”

This conversation isn't an example of how "ridiculous" Twitter is, or how unreasonable disabled people are, or how "nonsense" accusations of ableism are. This conversation is a collision of a multitude of ways we feel devalued and dismissed by people we thought we could rely on.

So anyway, it should be no surprise that this became a thing. It's not ridiculous that it did, because it pulled at volatile social threads: unexamined misogynoir, devalued "feminine/service labor", rugged individualism, unfair labor practices, abandonment of disabled people, etc

I'm tired of the entire cult of RUGGED INDIVIDUALISM that thinks it's reasonable to expect we don't rely on anyone but ourselves, and I'm especially tired of it when it so very obviously conflicts with and harms disabled people. That's one of the reasons we reacted strongly.

Folk, I'd like to do a thread on how minimisers tried to blind people with poor science. A few phrases spring to mind like "novelty equals severity", "T cells will save us", even "herd immunity" and "immunity debt". I know there are more, but my tired brain is coming up short.
