I have dozens of curated resources on SARS-CoV-2 in my Beacons bio link. READ UP!! Otherwise you’ll just keep catching it until you regret not caring. Fuck covid, fuck long covid, and fuck everyone who has easy access to this important info and chooses to ignore it.

Back in my day, most paid apps / software had ONE price that you paid ONCE and then you owned it FOREVER Everything’s a subscription model now. WHY is everything, even something as simple as a photo editing app, $10+ per MONTH now This shit is wringing people dry and for what

I’m so sorry but Balto didn’t deliver diphtheria serum to sick children via sled in 1925 just for us to charge thousands for vaccines and withhold them from entire populations a century later

About a century ago, women were tired of getting groped by men in public so they started using their long sharp hat pins to ward off the creeps …then hat pins were banned

78% of people in the US are now living paycheck-to-paycheck, while the 400 richest people added another $500 billion to their $4.5 trillion net worth last year. Capitalism is working as intended, and this will only get worse if we allow it to continue.

Gonna tell my doctor that “my friend is completing his med school residency and told me to get my _____ checked” because they’ll listen to a hypothetical nonexistent man before they’ll listen to me, a woman, sitting right in front of them
