β€œIn 2022, workers had the most sickness-related absences of the pandemic, and the highest number since record-keeping began in 1976.”

We need to stop buying into the denial that we are β€œback to normal.”

Absence from work at record high as Americans feel strain from Covid

More than a million people have called out sick for the past three years, and CDC says long Covid probably a contributor too

Femboys, tomboys, drag queens, enbies, and trans people to the front fucking lines. We're gonna make stonewall look like a fucking party.

I've seen two patients since lunch.

Neither can remember what we are talking about 5 minutes later, have Tachycardia sitting there that fatigues them, and they seem confused throughout.

This is the 3rd time getting COVID for both. Both got it over holiday break.

Both are PROFESSIONALS.

Avoid.

Covid.

I'm tired of living like it's the 1600s:

Can I afford eggs at the market?
Are my family going to die of the plague?
Puritans are coming for my sinful lifestyle.

I want modern problems.
Modern Problems.

Folks are treating the recent tech layoffs as something spontaneous. They were not. Apparently the current layoffs were orchestrated by hedge funds.

This hedge fund demanded that the big tech companies lay people off because they were being paid too much. Let that one sink in: a hedge fund manager saying that you're being paid too much.

Note that TCI is demanding that Google lay off more people.

sitting on the bus to the grocery store thinking "between lifelong stress & anxiety over queer persecution, the constant necessity of overworking oneself, AND the longterm health ramifications of covid-19, we're probably going to see a mass die-off of trans people young and old to heart disease in the next ten years," feeling the urge to get so high i can't put a sentence together, and then thinking "why am i having such a hard time cutting back"
