STOP USING FEMINISM AS A SHIELD FOR TRANSPHOBIA. Gah, I'm so sick of coming on twitter and seeing "feminist" posts that are actually TERFy BS. As a cis woman my rights are in danger from transphobic bigots applying narrow definitions to womanhood, not from trans women!

Marina Hyde is what I call a shy terf. She has managed to cultivate a seemingly inoffensive presence in the media, and been very skilled at camouflaging her anti-trans views by never mentioning trans. Directly.
You have to be fluent in Gender Critical Code to spot it.
To terfs, only one thing matters in life - disparaging trans folk and our allies.
So no surprise whatsoever she is taking a pop at Polanski.
(Plus @guardiannews under @KathViner is very trans hostile).
Make a political hero of Zack Polanski if you want. Just don’t forget to engage your brain | Marina Hyde

Heatwaves are like covid waves.
People don't think about the lasting effects. They don't think about the cumulative damage. They don't think the next one is going to happen. They don't think it's going to affect them. They don't think about the cause.

Covid infections can weaken your immune system. That is established science, not speculation.
Vaccines did not cause it. Vaccines did not fully stop it. Repeat infections can make it worse.
Denying this is not caution or balance, it is science denial.
Stop catching Covid. Stop spreading it.

I've been predicting it for years, and it's now exactly what we're seeing:
More outbreaks of disease.
Larger outbreaks of disease.
Worse impacts of disease.
It's exactly what you would expect when a larger proportion of the population have weakened immune systems.

This is super important.
The UK government are having it both ways again.
They spent years denying that Covid was spread through the air.
And now they're saying that Hantavirus doesn't spread through the air the way Covid does, as if that's what they said all along.
<screams>

Months??
For those of us left severely Disabled by COVID, isolation has lasted SIX YEARS AND COUNTING.
And no, that's not nothing.
We can't even safely access medical care.
But everyone seems to think that Disabled folks should endure house arrest for ever.

If there was just one single lesson we should have learned from covid, it's that people don't understand airborne pathogen transmission.
We should have learned that and then taught everyone how airborne transmission works and how to stop it.

Quarantining during a public health threat is not a punishment.
It’s not a violation of your freedoms.
It’s part of being in a society.
You do not have the right to spread a dangerous and deadly disease to others.
Robust public health measures save lives.

BREAKING NEWS: South African scientists have announced results of genomic sequencing of samples from 2 infected cruise ship passengers.
They’ve confirmed it is the ANDES VIRUS.
This strain is known to be transmitted human-to-human & has previously caused superspreader events.

normalize masking in all public places
masking belongs in healthcare
fight for clean air
the paradigm shift began in 2020 and it's not optional
protect yourselves & loved ones by wearing a respirator
we're being failed globally every single goddamn day
we're all we have

I met up with a long time friend this week and his first words to me were "you look really well".
I do. And I feel healthier than I have in two decades. I feel great.
I've had nearly six and a half years without infection.
He looked *awful*. 😥
The last time I had seen him was four years ago when he still looked OK, and his first words to me that day were, "you're not still wearing one of those things, are you?" 😔

No one wants covid to actually be mild or “over” more than covid aware people
It’s actually shocking that some of you think this is fun for us, that we enjoy this

Genuine answer:
It's amazing that you don't know the pandemic hasn't ended and that every child of this age has been repeatedly infected with Covid.
And that Covid infections cause problems with neurological development and cognitive function.

So the students at the University of Kent meningitis outbreak are queuing for *antibiotics* not vaccines, according to Sky.
So we are looking at an outbreak of *bacterial* meningitis.
And what did I say might be this winter's breakout bacterium?
BACTERIAL MENINGITIS.
