Getting some work done this afternoon at a hot new coworking space: my local library. They even have free books to borrow. Who knew.

I wish we could have more serious societal discussion around how to mitigate this versus just trying to pretend it’s not happening.

NEW REPORT: using updated data, I find that 2-4m Americans are not working due to #longcovid. This is costing us ~$170 billion annually in lost wages alone. A thread (1/) brookings.edu/research/new-d…

New data shows long Covid is keeping as many as 4 million people out of work | Brookings

Since the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic through today, news about labor shortages and missing workers has dominated headlines. The question everyone still seems to be asking is: Why?  [author-bio]...

The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole!

NASA Data Sonification: Black Hole Remix

In this sonification of Perseus, the sound waves astronomers previously identified were extracted and made audible for the first time. The sound waves were extracted outward from the center.

I've seen enough: in a huge victory for the pro-choice side, the Kansas constitutional amendment to remove protections of abortion rights fails.
I so appreciate the uncompromising passion of @Fady4Indiana as he defends women’s reproductive rights and religious freedom. So eloquently spoken and well-argued. Wish he was still my Indiana senator.

How fitting.

Replying to @ArikaHerron
Sen. Greg Taylor, leader of Senate Dems, points out that the abortion bill will go through the Rules committee -- where the bill's author is the only woman on the committee -- rather than health, where six of 12 members are women.

Life lesson I’m learning to accept: (almost) everything is hard. It’s the rule, not the exception. The struggle is the journey. What feels like “extra” effort is actually the typical level of effort required for anything worthwhile.

Just donated to @mireprofreedom, which is working to create a 2022 ballot measure that would amend the Michigan constitution to protect reproductive rights. This is a roadmap for states in post-Roe America. Consider chipping in: secure.actblue.com/donate/re…

Missouri doctors fear the state's vague abortion ban will delay care in high-risk situation because of fear of prosecution.

It’s pretty sad that, if we want the women in our family to maintain their previous constitutional rights, we have to choose to move out of state. What a dark time.

Stop using adoptees as pawns in your abortion wars. Even the happiest adoptees have lifelong issues and many adoptees suffer abuse at the hands of their adoptive parents. We are people. Not chess pieces.

💯 This rollout is insulting to parents of <5s who have tried to protect their kids, in some cases, for *years* as the rest of society moved on.

Incredibly disappointed to learn that @BeaconHealthSys has apparently not even ordered Covid-19 vaccines for <5 year olds. I was told it could be 3 or 4 weeks before pediatrician office is ready to administer it, which is unacceptable. More advance planning should have been done.

Perhaps the worst part of this interaction was being given incorrect information (that the vaccine is not yet approved) which is false.

I replaced my gas mower with this as well. It’s so quiet and light. No gas to deal with. Takes me a bit longer to cut than with my old, bigger mower but maintenance takes way less time + no gas station trips make up for it.
