I follow some NSFW stuff and some IRL politics stuff and mostly repost the latter. Minors will be blocked to the best of my knowledge/ability.

Consensus: clean indoor air reduces Long COVID.
Translation?
It’s still airborne.
If your school or workplace isn’t filtering air, they’re increasing risk of disability.

Most standard tests will come back normal. That doesn’t mean you’re fine.
Consensus: Advanced imaging, tilt tests, CPET, microclot detection, and mitochondrial function markers are needed—but rarely available.

PEM (post-exertional malaise) is real. Exercise isn’t always safe.
Consensus: “Graded exercise” can harm if POTS or PEM aren’t ruled out.
No more “just walk it off” advice from uninformed doctors.

Consensus: Long COVID includes dysautonomia (POTS), mast cell activation (MCAS), mitochondrial dysfunction, endothelial damage, & more.
This isn’t one disease. It’s a syndrome of syndromes.

Functional impairment matters. Long COVID isn’t just about symptoms—it’s about how much harder life becomes even without them.
This redefines the disease. It’s invisible disability at scale.

Long COVID is not "just fatigue." It’s organ damage, immune dysfunction, and neurological injury—even when tests look “normal.”
Consensus: routine labs often miss it. We need biomarker access. We need real diagnostics. Now.

The most important thing you can do is visibly do things that make sense for you and who you are and where your skills and capabilities lie.
If someone sees you, they will think "oh, it's okay, I'm not alone."

But bravery is contagious.
There are people who think "maybe I should do something" who will look left and will look right, and if they don't see people doing things, they'll sit back down.
Make sure that they see people doing things.

Deeply baffling that people have not figured out that if there's some class of person (criminal, Nazi, etc etc) that you are OK with deporting the state is just going to accuse you of being a criminal and send you to the concentration camp, that's how we got here
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

the hobby and setting is all about these little guys with very specific details and lore and for many a lot of the fun is learning about them. If you show us some generated space marine with completely wrong armor and a weird gooey skull in the wrong place we break out in hives

It doesn't matter that you're 100% right, these people just want to be outraged, and they will never admit anything that isn't what they want to hear.
When idiots were all in arms over me being a trans woman VA in their video game, I ignored it, and 4 days later they moved onto some other topic.
