Two indie podcasts I wanna plug! 1. Flashforward @flashforwardpod is doing their final season on dementia & it's incredibly thought-provoking 2. Lingthusiasm @lingthusiasm is a linguistics podcast that I've learnt a lot about signed languages from

Most high risk folks I know never stopped masking. But one-way masking is sadly not enough to keep us all safe. It’s time to #BringBackMasks in indoor spaces. Vaccines alone will not be able to get us through cold and flu season AND this 8th COVID wave.
NEW: Ontario's CMOH warns that mandatory masking court return for a brief period if the current COVID-19 case loads in hospitals continues to grow. For now, Dr. Kieran Moore believes vulnerable populations should mask up. https://t.co/6sij6uON9z

Overheard someone say “It seems like Covid is coming back” at the grocery store today, and I was very pleased to hear a lady reply “it never went anywhere my dear, and you should be wearing a mask”. You can be proud of a stranger right? #BringBackMasks #COVID19 #CovidIsNotOver

…and #BringBackMasks is trending again. And yes, I will tweet about it every time it goes viral because the more people who wear fitted masks the more preventable infections, #LongCovid, and deaths we can stop 🛑 ✋

Today I met with officials in Helsinki, which has had a ~75% drop in road deaths over the last thirty years (including recent years with no ped/cyclist deaths at all). Me: “How much of a role has IT played in reducing crashes?” City official: “Zero. We simply slowed down cars.”
NEW! @USDOT is seeking your feedback on a critical topic – Intersection Safety. See “Enhancing the Safety of Vulnerable Road Users at Intersections” and see how you can contribute https://t.co/tBShkfgKu3

I am one of these 2-4M Americans. I’m a 30 something highly educated professional completely unable to work the legal job I love for 14 mos & counting (or parent my kid or care for myself independently for that matter). We need treatments for #LongCovid #MECFS NOW! #NotRecovered
NEW REPORT: using updated data, I find that 2-4m Americans are not working due to #longcovid. This is costing us ~$170 billion annually in lost wages alone. A thread (1/)

Over two and half years suffering from #longcovid . We are still #NotRecovered . We need treatments. Covid is not over and either is the potential for you to get debilitating symptoms from it. Everyone should care care about a cure for long Covid.
Do NOT stop talking about #LongCovid. Let no one intimidate you from talking about YOUR disease. We're warning people because no one else will.

Dorothy Smith passed away on the 3rd of June. She passed away in her granddaughter Calla's arms, surrounded by love. Dorothy completely reshaped the structure of our society but most importantly to her, she changed individuals lives. #InstitutionalEthnography #DorothySmith
