How the media gaslights people on #COVID19:

In one article, it says, “The uptick of cases likely isn’t cause for alarm, though: most Covid cases are mild” and then buries this quote from an epidemiologist: “Covid is likely to remain in the leading causes of death in the United States for the foreseeable future.”

If a leading cause of death can be easily prevented with simple mitigations, then how is ANY uptick in cases not a reason for concern?

Covid Cases Are On The Rise—Here’s What You Need To Know

Covid cases are back on the rise just before the upcoming flu season rolls in.

How can our #USPol national journalism outlets do so many stories on the extreme heat and #climatechange issues day after day without the accountability piece: what can be done, who holds power to act, and what are they doing about it? Where are we on the big steps proposed and, as a society, on responding seriously? Covering weather vs. focusing on human role and solutions is ultimate example of incremental #journalism reacting to events vs. holding power to account.

@ambercadabra I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. Blessings to you and more patience and understanding for us all ...
You asked for it, and it’s coming. Quote posts, search, and groups are on their way. In the meantime, check out the new onboarding experience launching today. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/05/a-new-onboarding-experience-on-mastodon/
A new onboarding experience on Mastodon

Today we’re making signing up on Mastodon easier than ever before. We understand that deciding which Mastodon service provider to kick off your experience with can be confusing. We know this is a completely new concept for many people, since traditionally the platform and the service provider are one and the same. This choice is what makes Mastodon different from existing social networks, but it also presents a unique onboarding challenge. To make this step easier, we now have a default sign-up option that works with a server we operate. If you wish to leave or join a different server, you can do so at any time.
