How many of you are experiencing anticipatory grief related to the pandemic? I have 2 friends with Long COVID, but they deny it. No one tests anymore when they are ill. I am waiting for SARS-2 damage to explode, and I am so sad. @1goodtern

I actually think masking could make a comeback if: 1. It were only required in high-risk areas like healthcare & public transit 2. Respirators were handed out for free 3. The free respirators were actually comfortable, stylish, and easy to accessorize, like the black Zimi Air

Some therapists speak of trauma work / shadow work / family of origin work / dream work / parts work / attachment work / etc. etc. as if they were separate things or special skill sets Psychodynamic therapist don’t use these terms. Frankly, they sound silly to us. They’re…

DO NOT LET NATIONWIDE MASK BANS PASS. A federal mask ban would be a critical blow to health, right as H5N1 and other diseases are going unchecked and unmonitored by this new administration.

Wall Street is paying attention now. When virologists talk about pandemics, nobody listens. When Bloomberg does, it means the markets are about to feel it. The playbook is the same every time.

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS. I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.
