Why am I not surprised that you think getting beaten & arrested on television can go onto your resume. Anything to be special, am I right?

People who didn't obtain advanced graduate training in this shit deserve to have their good faith questions heard, and answered, in a non-judgmental manner. If you can't do that? That's fine, but stay the fuck out of my replies when I'm doing that work.

Just a note about my personal approach to posting: I use my limited energy to post relative to the war crimes of the Netanyahu regime, aided and abetted by the Biden Administration, and the crushing of dissent in the U.S. on X/twitter because that's where I have an audience.

Part of being "good at social media" is tailoring your message to segmented audiences. If you can't tell that BlueSky is very, very different than other social media platforms, are you good? I don't have (nor do I want) 1MM followers across platforms, but I am a professional political strategist

If I'm reading this right, what's interesting is not that this content contains far-right messaging--"submitting to your husband" is far-right by definition (unless it's kink?which... fine fuckin' line!)--it's that subscribing to it makes the algo bring *other* far-right horseshit to your feed.

I don't mean this as a critique (and who cares if I do, I mean who tf am I?) but this is akin to describing a gun as being an efficient way to deliver a bullet. The tradwife aesthetic launders fascism through it by design. It's using fascist tropes to push fascism.

All you need to know is that one of the most popular tradwife ladies is the wife of the JetBlue CEO. She is cosplaying. It's cosplay. She is not anything actually like a "tradwife". She's pretending to be one like nerds pretend to be Darth Vader at a ComiCon.

Again, H5N1 in wild birds is pretty dang difficult for a human to acquire. But it's never a bad idea to take precautions, especially if you have any degree of immunocompromise, when dealing with animal feces, not just because of H5N1! It's poop! It's pathogens!

When dealing with animal feces, it's always a good idea to take precautions BUT H5N1 bird flu has been a thing in the U.S. since late 2021, when it was discovered in wild, migratory birds. So H5N1 in wild birds is not brand new, and, importantly, does **not** easily transmit to humans 🧵

The main thing no one (no one!) should be consuming is raw dairy products. "Raw dairy" refers to dairy that hasn't been pasteurized. So no unpasteurized milk, no cheese made from unpasteurized milk. (Pasteurization is the process of flash heating a liquid, like milk, to kill harmful pathogens) 🧵

It's possible that if you're in close physical proximity to a sick bird, you could breathe in virus. Again, this is not really a general concern but is more applicable to people who are, for example, keeping chickens.

The H5N1 bird flu is *not* well adapted to infecting humans. There has been no known human-to-human spread of H5N1 in the US. (The goal is to keep it that way!) People have been infected by close contact with infected birds (eg touching sick bird, touching your eyes) or, now, with infected cow 🧵

I'd be deeply concerned that a flu virus that gets good at infecting pigs could easily make the jump to infecting humans. Would the case fatality rate remain as high? We don't know. I really don't want to find out.

We really want to keep H5N1 out of pigs. Why? Every time there's viral transmission, there's an opportunity for the virus to mutate, and the potential for that mutation to make the virus better at infecting, in this case, pigs. Here's the catch: pigs are pretty dang close to humans. 🧵

Really important question! Our goal must be to prevent H5N1 from getting good at infecting humans. Why? Worldwide, we know of 888 human H5N1 infections since 2003. 463 of those people died. That's a case fatality rate of 53%. What do pigs have to do with it? 🧵

Cats can get H5N1. In the U.S., we've seen cats who live/work on dairy farms get H5N1. A number of cats in Poland who weren't associated with farms got H5N1. I'd be most concerned about a cat who is allowed outdoors. Cats are pretty good hunters of birds, eating a bird sick with H5N1 would be bad🧵

Particularly since cats can be pretty good at hunting, and birds with H5N1 may be easier prey. Mostly my concern is letting the cat get near either any alive birds or any dead birds. You'll have to assess those risks depending on your particular catio situation

If you've followed me for awhile, you'll know I take feline wellness very seriously, so I've looked at the cat literature pretty carefully 😹 There was a H5N1 clade in Poland (H5 2.3.4.4b) that seemed pretty good at infecting cats, so I actually am a bit worried about cats. 🧵

In recent months, we have reports of Canada geese dying from H5N1. It is reasonable to assume the birds you're seeing have died from H5N1. Again, H5N1 is not easily transmitted to people, but dying/dead H5N1 birds *do* pose a heightened risk. I would def avoid any dead/dying birds.
