Someone shared this in a meeting and it was the first time I'd seen it. Sharing on here for laughs

I've been talking with an academic researcher who is interested in speaking with people who have shut down their fediverse servers, for any reason.

I know it's a touchy subject so I didn't want to just refer her directly to people, but if you are seeing this message and you're interested, please DM me and I will give you her email. I did a 1-hour interview with her on more general topics and really enjoyed the experience.

(Boosts appreciated!)

I truly believe we'll look back on 2022, 2023, and perhaps 2024 as a period when the media, public health and governments monumentally failed society. The fact I can sit (masked) in crowded airports, events and public spaces with people coughing and almost no one masked at a time when the #COVID19 virus circulates widely--STILL a top cause of death, a significant source of disabilities, and is known to damage hearts, brains and immune system-- is simply appalling. The idea we're safe is a lie.

My daughter is nearly three years old. We’re putting her in charge of all our resources and finances. Why? Because she moves fast and breaks things.

"While many people assumed that getting infected meant higher protection from future encounters with the virus ...[the truth is that ] each subsequent COVID infection will increase your risk of developing chronic health issues like diabetes, kidney disease, organ failure and even mental health problems. ... it is akin to playing Russian roulette.”

My paternal grandmother was born in Berlin, Germany in 1900. She was, as was her whole family, Jewish. She was smart and driven. Had her own dressmaking shop by the time she was 25. But, the handwriting was on the wall, and she left home for New York in 1925. She learned English and worked as a dressmaker until she got married to an Italian immigrant she met in English language class. Some of her siblings stayed in Germany. Perished in the camps. Her youngest sister survived and came to America. But she was mentally damaged from that horror, attempted suicide at least once (had a scar around her neck) until she succeeded in drowning herself.

People talk about the horrors of fascism in the abstract. But for my family, it is very real. I think that we all need to speak about it.My generation, the grandchildren of the victims of the Nazis, is old now. I try to tell this story as often as I can.

A super cool new Chemistry World article from @CatSchofield on how plant biomarkers can be used as evidence for the use of chemical weapons.

Original paper, which is also well worth a read, here:
