@adavid @MugsysRapSheet Trump, like all #ShortDarkTriad #Narcissists harbors #Grudges and seeks #Revenge. He surrounds himself with #Sycophants and #Opportunists who will enable him. Moreover, he will #BurnEverythingDown to be seen and to #ConsolidatePower The only good thing that Trump has done is to expose similar people in #Politics #Government and #Religion. My hope is that out of the damage and ashes he destroys the #Sickness that the #GOP has become.

@SaanichGuy They are Christian based on two schools of thought, #ProsperityGospel and #MuscularChristianity which #beLIEve that God blesses those who follow Him with #Wealth & #Health and punishes heretics and apostates with #Poverty & #Sickness. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosperi en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular. Trump tapped into the #Evangelical vote using these beliefs because he is #Wealthy and has been blessed by God.

X is terrible, but after the Meta news on explicitly allowing transphobia / transmisia, overall it's just been a tough week.
Idk what I have but my asthma attack started last week. Elevated neutrophils indicate bacterial infection, my GP said? So either it was "probably viral" like the OoH 111 GP said and became bacterial as well, or I was unlucky that it was bacterial to begin with.

I've been on Prednisolone, a corticosteroid since the 9th; then last night I started Doxycyline, an antibiotic, and Montelukast.
Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist, so it blocks leukotrienes, my patient pamphlet says.

Got a chest X ray out of it, at least. (Had back pain behind my ex-gallbladder since its removal anyway.)
Let this be a lesson not to lessen your mask discipline or stubbornness when other people peer pressure you to take risks with your health.
This is my first asthma exacerbation in a decade and I do not want to continue experiencing this. I do not recommend it. The people telling me I was 'paranoid', 'over-thinking it', 'worried about nothing' and more do NOT have to feel what I am feeling.

Teenage boys in public who choose to whine at me and intentionally coughing towards me (what?!!?) is super aggressive, creepy, entitled, and harmful to everyone witnessing that. Still, my upper and mid back has not stopped aching. I don't get fevers and I don't have a cough. Only you know your body.

Some people choose to care about harm reduction; others don't. Do right by yourself and do your sustainable best by others. I believe in you!

@RulesBuster Significant factors underpinning #USMonitaryPolicy and #USHealthPolicy and the disparity in the growth of wealth for the #Privileged and poverty for the #Underprivileged are #ProsperityGospel and #MuscularChristianity. Trump tapped into these with #Evangelicals to become President. #GodBlesses those who follow him with #Wealth and #Health and #Punishes #Heretics and #Apostates with #Poverty and #Sickness. These are flawed belief systems. #TrumpUsedThem as tools to manipulate #MAGAts

@jwcph Absolutely.

The problem may be that these nice things were so unequally distributed that some never saw it through their despair. Clinging then onto the only different thing they could see: #fascism - the promise to suppress others for their own benefit

Just like #sickness and #badluck - they never expect it to hit themselves badly only their neighbour - or if desparate enogh they don't care 🫣

It is not complicated - it has been seen, studied and explained before. If only we would have listened and protected us all by sharing it all a lot better more equally 🤷

@Njord basically all since even if we don't think of these as "inalienable #HumanRights" even the most ghoulish #AnCap would've to admit that socializing these as #infrastructure will reduce the costs for every by virtue of #EconomiesOfScale and also remove the multiple-times higher costs of havi g to deal with #homelessness, #hunger, #sickness and #illiteracy.

  • Nations don't provide these out of goodwill of their hearts but because even the stingiest accountant will adnit people who don't have to fear becoming sick, homeless, starving or not being able to afford school for their children are less anxious, more happy and more productive than others even when paid less...

In principle, it should be said that usually in these lands there are no “natural” deaths. Death is always product of the attack, predation, or revenge by an Other, often acting invisibly in what you call disease. That Other can be an enemy shaman, a spirit, or the chief of an animal species. E.g., for the Piaroa, sores on the skin are signs that large aquatic animals are cooking the person, and the inflammation of the throat is the hook of a wild peccary.

Karen has even won an award for her 'outstanding contribution to the Scottish #poultry industry' but the Rotten truth at her farms was far from award-winning.

Despite the fact that free-range #hens are supposed to have continuous daytime access to the outside, we filmed hens imprisoned inside on four separate days.

Amongst #sickness, #injuries and debeaked hens, we found dead hens' bodies scattered in the deep filth of the shed floors. These hens appeared to have had their necks snapped

Google Translate: "Several media outlets reported that 70 people were affected. According to Condor, there were 290 passengers on board the Airbus A330neo aircraft with 310 seats. According to information from the dpa news agency, not all ambulances were needed, so many helpers left without having achieved anything." #aviation #sickness
