"I’ve seen the reality of the new Israel-backed ‘aid’ for Gaza. It’s nothing more than a deadly PR stunt" by Eyad Amawi in @theguardian.com "The unconditional entry of aid overseen by UN agencies is the only solution." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

One day, everyone will have always been against this. But today?

Remember when IDF fired at and shelled UN peacekeepers last year? Remember when IDF bombed aid workers in marked vehicles that had cleared their trip? Remember when IDF executed paramedics and threw them and their vehicles into a hole and bulldozed it in?

"We have the tools to reduce the number of infections in schools, but we are simply not using them properly, or at all." We have issued this press release in response to the "highly alarming" school absence figures (from 2022-23) released yesterday by the Minister for Education.

🎯 A powerful statement from @cleanairie.bsky.social - it’s time for the Dept. Of Education to implement the tools we have and promote clean air in #schools #SpeirGorm #SpéirGorm #cleanairireland #longcovid #publichealth

I met Louis Theroux to share my story as a Palestinian under the constant threat of displacement. While the film is an important look into the Israeli settlers trying to erase us, there is one crucial part of our story that was left out. mondoweiss.net/2025/05/i-wa... #Palestine #Israel

Today @thesicktimes.bsky.social: @kaatefishman.bsky.social describes how games are surprisingly useful communication tools in a world in denial about COVID-19 and Long COVID. As someone who is very much not a gamer, I really enjoyed editing this! thesicktimes.org/2025/05/06/l...

We are about to witness the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Another genocide. Future historians will ask how it is possible that we all knew about it, yet did nothing. But we already know the answer: we have allowed that a people was completely dehumanized. Again. www.axios.com/2025/05/05/i...

🤩 Air filters in classrooms reduce sick days by more than 10 per cent. What a great way to improve #attendance. www.newscientist.com/article/2478... #education #cleanair #childhood #health

❗️Children are more likely than adults to be told to get on with it. “Very often, children’s symptoms are attributed to behavioural problems, to ‘faking it’. They’re made to believe it’s ‘all psychological’, not a ‘real’ physical condition.” Essential article about #LongCovid in children #SpeirGorm

👏👏👏 to LCAI’s co-founder @sarahoc1.bsky.social and the other mothers of children with #LongCovid in this excellent article ‘Between 5% and 10% of children and adolescents who get covid develop long covid.’ #TreatLongCovid #speirgorm #LongCovidKids #LongCovidAwareness #LongCovidIreland

This study examines how IEQ (air quality, thermal comfort, lighting, and noise) affects performance in offices. Good ventilation rate = 4% improvement. air temperature (24.4-26.5C) showed a 4%–6% performance gain Good lighting=7% gain #Cleanair IEQ matter onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

New expert guidelines help doctors assess & treat #LongCovid, offering practical tips for managing symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, & breathlessness. Team-based care is key to supporting patient recovery. #COVID19. I like the differential diagnosis. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

"Major European institutes join race to save US science data As the administration of US President Donald Trump slashes budgets, crucial climate and other data sets could disappear." This attack on science is so frightening. It looks more like undoing enlightenment. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

With ‘AI slop’ distorting our reality, the world is sleepwalking into disaster | Nesrine Malik www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

‘Instead of truly fixing the core problem, one day, we were told by corporations and politicians that the pandemic was over. We decided to agree.Pretending that the problem was solved felt easy, and unprocessed grief about the loss of the pre-COVID era continues to reinforce this frame of thought.’🎯
