For the last year and a bit, I've been writing a book, all about the science of beauty. It's called… The Science of Beauty. I'm great with names!
It covers the basics (and not-so-basics) of skincare, haircare, makeup, nails, as well as general cosmetic science.

I guess the crazy part about Woke 1 was also people not getting on planes with COVID
BREAKING: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Tests Positive For COVID-19 Before Congress Leaves Capitol Hill.
"The New York congresswoman said she is open to traveling to Florida to campaign while actively battling the virus. "

The way leftists, socialists & even comrades ripped off their mask the moment Fauci said "the vulnerable will fall by the wayside" was a huge shock
I often say to my remaining comrades "everyone embraced eugenics the day Fauci said (...), they sided w/fascists outta convenience"

my most woke mutuals will be arguing genuinely great things but cant keep the word retarded out of their mouth to save their life. like ableism is simply not cared about anywhere at all. noone gives a fuck. i hate everyone.

Do you know how much PROPAGANDA it takes to convince a whole country of people that their military exists solely to keep them safe, and not to keep people around the world under their rule by destroying their homes and infrastructure while stealing their resources?
Dr Michelle Wong retweeted
isn't it funny how being anti-cop & anti-ice is a universal statement but being anti-military is a taboo that will get you called a classist. isn't it interesting how we only judge systems of power when they harm americans but they are not that bad if they affect the global south

The concept of being “left behind” if you don’t use AI when in reality the AI bubble will burst eventually and the people who have had their brains smoothed out by AI are the ones who won’t know how to function in society anymore

Btw COVID was proven to be airborne bc of THIS WOMAN’s research and the WHO had to completely revise decades of science, she is a HERO, EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW HER NAME!!! She will be remembered by history and in the future so much about our infrastructure will change bc of her.
It's widely accepted that hantavirus transmits from rodent excreta to humans via inhalation of aerosolized virus, so I don't understand why we're so reluctant to acknowledge the inhalation route for human-to-human transmission.

1) Something very clear from this Hantavirus outbreak is that @WHO is still quite confused about airborne transmission
Still confuse "close contact" (a setting) with a mechanism of transmission
Do not understand that ease of transmission in close proximity ==> likely airborne
Dr Michelle Wong retweeted
5) Frustrante ver cosas q SI necesitan recursos, y se hace muy poco
En particular prepararnos para proxima pandemia:
- mejorando ventilacion en escuelas, hospitales, comercios etc.
- Instalando medidores de CO2 visibles y explicando
- Enseniando a usar mascarillas FFP2 / N95

This is a nice lull and great news.
As a reminder, in fall 2021 (post vaccine), Fauci said a reasonable level of covid circulating to remove precautions would be 10k cases/day. This is the first time we’ve fallen below 100k cases/day in the nearly 5 years since

“gen alpha cough” is a hilarious observation and then you realize it’s bc they all have chronic coughs from getting sick with covid 3x a year at public school
Dr Michelle Wong retweeted
"COVID is here to stay" is a fatalist position.
In the 1800s, before municipal water filtration, saying "there's nothing we can do about cholera" would have been wrong. The same is now true of COVID.
Far-UVC/ventilation/filtration can hugely reduce transmission if we demand it.

They promoted Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent to distract you from reading Parenti’s Inventing Reality, which was written years earlier and is far better.

Whenever I know I’m going to be in the sun I think of @LabMuffin ‘s Swiss cheese model of sun protection!

What we mean by “wash your hands” during our ongoing covid pandemic is “wash your hands of responsibility”
