Paxlovid was a game changer for me. I got it the day I tested positive and started immediately. Only ended up being positive for one day and didn’t rebound (also prob helped that I got a booster 2mo earlier). Cinnamon gum helped the gross taste. I believe pharmacists can still prescribe pax.

I haven’t seen studies on what people dream as they sleep, but there are some studies inching toward that. For example, this one about people’s thoughts while hearing words www.nature.com/articles/s41... or

Especially as foods taste blander with age. Instead of just over-salting things, having properly-seasoned food must be a treat for the tastebuds and a new experience (treat for the brain!)

There were so many bad takes. Chris Matthews and the public executions. Chuck Todd and the brown shirts. Anything James Carville said.

My #PublicHealth annual holiday message for all:

Don’t drink and drive.

Don’t text and drive.

Don’t drink and firework.

Don’t text and firework.

Don’t drive and firework.

You probably shouldn’t drink and text either but you do you.

I forget how much newborns are like little zombies. I walk by, and my baby turns his head toward me with an open mouth and one eye closed, making grunting sounds 😆

I had to reserve a room in the library to breastfeed my newborn today because there were no other options (and I was super fortunate to have that option!) And if I had my toddler with me? He would have been bored out his mind, playing with the door.

The story is always the same: major tech companies tell us they care about the environment to silence criticism, then never actually follow through. Google’s emissions are up ~50% in 5 years, following similar news Microsoft is also blowing past its climate commitments.

Hi everyone! One *extremely meaningful* thing you can do to fight back is to join library boards. Usually this is an appointed position, not elected. The time commitment for most public library board members is 1-2 hours monthly. I'm a former library director. Ask me anything.

This is predictable but so important: Pasteurizing milk kills the H5N1 bird flu virus that is circulating widely in dairy cattle. It's easy to take a 150-year-old technique that has saved countless lives for granted, but don't fool around with unpasteurized dairy products. 🧪

My spouse co-organizes the annual Sick and Disabled Fair, a free virtual event by and for disabled artists, crafters, and zinesters. Costs to run the event are higher than expected this year, and organizers need help to make the SAD Fair as accessible and successful as possible.

May I join in on the questions for Neil (or the Sandman fandom)? I have been trying to find one of the quotes from the Sandman universe comics that goes something like “dreams, sticky, opium-stained”, and I’ve had no luck on any of my re-reads so far. Anyone know where it’s from?

Students have been eager for in person experiences. They also have lives that can't go back to allowing exclusively real-time in-person teaching.
