as difficult as it may be at times, i love being a lesbian. i am so beyond proud to call myself a lesbian. lesbian love, lesbian joy, and lesbian community have been some of the greatest gifts i have ever experienced. to be a lesbian is to be home.

the ideal and over emphasis of pale skinny heroin chic femininity (and also that particular brand of enbyism) is a product of racist&facist misogyny.

this is just my opinion, but IF you unable to or struggle to find beauty in fat people, or black people, or women with penises, and more specifically my point: people outside colonistic ideals, its probably because you have been conditioned, all the way down to your instincts, to at very least see these people as ugly, and at worst, to not even see these people as people.. no one will really fault you for having particular tastes, but if you do feel that way about sex and beauty, i personally think its pretty cringe and your "suburban schema" of people and the world fucking sucks. i dont have an elegant solution to your "problem", figure it out, stop being a conformist, stop seeing the world how racists & facists want you to see it, look outside of your idyllic walled garden, stop seeing sex as a commodity and people as objects

ur personal inability to imagine a way out of a political/economic system (or read books on the topic) doesn’t make activist theory that does materially impractical. don’t project ur lack of imagination + literacy + courage onto others who’ve devoted their lives to said activism.

Abstract

Long COVID is an often debilitating illness that occurs in at least 10% of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. More than 200 symptoms have been identified with impacts on multiple organ systems. At least 65 million individuals worldwide are estimated to have long COVID, with cases increasing daily. Biomedical research has made substantial progress in identifying various pathophysiological changes and risk factors and in characterizing the illness; further, similarities with other viral-onset illnesses such as myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome have laid the groundwork for research in the field. In this Review, we explore the current literature and highlight key findings, the overlap with other conditions, the variable onset of symptoms, long COVID in children and the impact of vaccinations. Although these key findings are critical to understanding long COVID, current diagnostic and treatment options are insufficient, and clinical trials must be prioritized that address leading hypotheses. Additionally, to strengthen long COVID research, future studies must account for biases and SARS-CoV-2 testing issues, build on viral-onset research, be inclusive of marginalized populations and meaningfully engage patients throughout the research process.

A Canadian humanitarian organization says its primary water aid truck was bombed in Gaza and is calling on the federal government to mount a full investigation into what it believes was a "targeted" incident. The International Development and Relief Foundation (IDRF), a registered non-profit based in Toronto, told CBC News the truck was bombed in the early hours of Wednesday morning and that no one was hurt in the incident. Zeina Osman, the IDRF's director of impact, said the bombing is the first involving a Canadian aid truck during the current war in the Gaza, but wouldn't say outright if the organization believes the Israeli military was behind the bombing.

Highlights

•An novel inhalation index (ID) was proposed based on droplet inhalability.

•The biological attributes of airborne pathogen were integrated into modelling.

•A modified Wells–Riley model integrating ID and Tissue Culture Infectious Dose.

•Exposure over 60 s within 2 m of host could have considerable infection risk.

• 5 um is cut-off size of sensitive ID and could increase with enabled ventilation.

Abstract

Escalating demands of assessing airborne disease infection risks had been awakened from ongoing pandemics. An inhalation index linked to biomedical characteristics of pathogens was proposed to quantify human uptake dose. A modified Wells–Riley risk-assessment framework was then developed with enhanced capability of integrating biological and spatiotemporal features of infectious pathogens into assessment. The instantaneous transport characteristics of pathogens were traced by Eulerian–Lagrangian method. Droplets released via speaking and coughing in a conference room with three ventilation strategies were studied to assess occupants’ infection risks using this framework. Outcomes revealed that speaking droplets could travel with less distance (0.5 m) than coughing droplets (1 m) due to the frequent interaction between speaking flow and thermal plume. Quantified analysis of inhalation index revealed a higher inhalation possibility of droplets with nuclei size smaller than , and this cut-off size was found sensitive to ventilation. With only 60-second exposure, occupants in the near-field of host started to have considerable infection risks (approximately 20%). This risk was found minimising over distance exponentially. This modified framework demonstrated the systematic analysis of airborne transmission, from quantifying particle inhalation possibility, targeting specific disease’s , to ultimate evaluation of infection risks.

“The fear of being fat is the fear of joining an underclass that you have so readily dismissed, looked down on, looked past, or found yourself grateful not to be a part of. It is a fear of being seen as slothful, gluttonous, greedy, unambitious, unwanted, and, worst of all, unlovable. Fat has largely been weaponized by straight-size people — the very people it seems to hurt most deeply. And ultimately, thin people are terrified of being treated the way they have so often seen fat people treated or even the way they’ve treated fat people themselves. In that way, thinness isn’t just a matter of health or beauty or happiness. It is a cultural structure of power and dominance.”

Liberals will say shit like "Yeah, well Trump would be doing so much worse right now" while Biden and the Democrats pull shit like this

Fuck you and your lesser-evilism. I refuse to do the math you want me to. The appropriate level of fascism is zero. If you don't believe that, line up with the fascists and follow your leader.

Abstract

Caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) primarily manifests as respiratory dysfunction. However, emerging evidence suggests SARS-CoV-2 can invade the brain, leading to cognitive impairment (CI). It may spread to other brain regions through transsynaptic neurons, including the olfactory, optic, and vagus nerves. Moreover, it may invade the central nervous system through blood transmission or the lymphatic system. This review summarizes the neuroimaging evidence from clinical and imaging studies of COVID-19-associated CIs, including magnetic resonance imaging and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography. The mechanisms underlying COVID-19-associated CIs are currently being actively investigated. They include nonimmune effects, such as viral proteins, tissue hypoxia, hypercoagulability, and pathological changes in neuronal cells, and immune effects, such as microglia and astrocyte activation, peripheral immune cell infiltration, blood-brain barrier impairment, cytokine network dysregulation, and intestinal microbiota. Inflammation is the central feature. Both central and systemic inflammation may cause acute and persistent neurological changes, and existing evidence indicates that inflammation underlies the elevated risk of Alzheimer's disease. Finally, potential therapeutic options for COVID-19-associated CIs are discussed. In-depth research into the pathological mechanisms is still needed to help develop new therapies.

btw japanese lgbt people who are also in solidarity with palestine are protesting tokyo rainbow pride (TRP) that’s happening this weekend so let’s not reblog stuff about tokyo rainbow pride happening especially without understanding who is sponsoring it

(if you scroll on this page you can see some of the sponsors who are also on bds lists)

this has the statement they (TRP organization) made it’s in english too just scroll down

I am hunger striking

hi, I’m going to be joining my friends in a hunger strike to protest the injustice and oppression of the people in Gaza. it’s been almost 200 days of forced starvation.

this is a SAFE hunger strike, and if you plan on joining- consult @ibtisams post on hunger striking which has some safety information.

to sponsor my hunger strike, donate any amount of money to Anera, an organization currently providing aid. after donating, send me proof of donation through an ask or a dm (show the date but no other personal information is required)!

my hunger strike will start on the first of May, and i will add an extra day to my hunger strike for every collective $50 donated (you can donate anyyyyy amount). i will not hunger strike for more than 10 days for safety reasons, so i am aiming to have $500 donated to Anera.

thank you all for your support 💘🇵🇸

Don't let the media make what's happening with Israel, Iran and Jordan into some "middle-east problem" again. This was entirely orchestrated and encouraged by the US and the UK. Israel initiated every attack against Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Iran. Israel KILLED, targeted, the children and grandchildren of Palestinians political leaders. And the US could've stopped all of this by simply not giving Israel money and weapons bu they didn't.

The Western media has constructed this narrative that countries like Iraq and Iran are the problem and the western nations are the antidote keeping their 'terrorism' at bay. No, they have always and at all times started the conflicts, or worsened them.

Because they want the land, they want hegemony over the resources of that region and that is it. And they've demonstrated already by killing over 33,000 people that they'll do anything.

Stop joking about World War 3 and take the loss of lives and the horror of what is happening seriously. This cannot keep escalating

happy autism month

wanna help a physically disabled autism get by this month?

good news! that's me and you totally can. 🥰 only if you're a financially secure adult tho.

hi, i'm tdf and i live under the poverty line (income less than $1k/mo) bc my mitochondria are gorked and there are soso many other things wrong with me 😔

unfortunately this causes problems like

not having enough money

because being disabled is expensive cuz you need things abled people don't which sucks! and i can't just work more when i'm broke! bc i am Brokened.

i've been sick as hell for months bc life stuff has been A Lot and pushed me into a bad flareup. so things are extra tight rn.

anyways if you wanna help out your local autistic blogger:

i have a food and necessities wishIist that also includes visa and other gifft cards so i can get stuff that isn't available on amazon a walmart card to help w groceries would also make a huge difference. they can be sent anonymously (or not) and start at $5.

i will reblog this post with an update and turn off reblogs if i get enough help that i think I can get by!!

i'm really sorry to be asking when so many ppl are in need but. i am too unfortunately. 😔 thank you for tolerating this post on yr dash!

EDIT: I forgot that knowledge of my email address is not just like divinely granted to everyone! 😅 It's thatdiabolicalfeminist at gmail dot com.

(Please don't try to send me pay paI though, that account is old and I'm locked out)
