One of the things that you pick up from reading the minor prophets is that being a prophet is pretty shit. But you kind of read them and go "yeah but if I was a prophet, I'd do a better job of convincing people", and then you try it, and yes, the role really is that bad.

Cuba is experiencing nationwide blackouts, and clinicians have requested N95s. I will donate a dollar for every RT this gets in the next hour. MAKE ME PAY. James is organizing a fundraiser. Venmo: James-Ray-24
If anyone wants to help I spent a few hours talking to medical students in Havana today who work at a hospital who said they need N95s or equivalents desperately. I’ve already worked with someone to secure 5,000 masks but 40,000 supplies their entire hospital staff for a year.

I'm curious - any other LongHauler advocates like myself who do NOT have LongCovid? (But, my advocacy is born out of self-interest/survival, because I recognize I am advocating also for a possible future me who could have LongCovid.)

i saw what collapse looks like in Syria and i cant emphasize enough that it doesn't matter how much you stock up for yourself because however bad you think it will be, it'll be worse. you need to be involved in your local community because it could be life or death without them.
ngl when i see posts about how to survive the collapse and what items to stock up on my will to live actually decreases further

Mr President, Do not! Please! Do not put a detachment ashore in Iran. Every wargame ends badly for the invasion force, Iran’s civilians, and the world's economy. It is a quagmire without end. Call victory and leave.
