@LauraMiers @alyssaschwartz They better hurry up with that cure for multiple sclerosis then because EBV infections manifest as MS years down the line

I routinely think of all the kids who are going to be disabled by adulthood. I was so surprised by how SERIOUSLY mono is taken now. The pediatrician showed my kid how to check his spleen & said he can’t do PE for a month. When I got it in the 90s, doctors laughed, & called it the “kissing disease.” We were expected to function right through it. I had to be homeschooled for the rest of 8th grade because I almost died “pushing through” it.

I fear the next big thing is going to be mono. Since 2021, when RSV + Covid coinfections kicked off, series of problematic pathogens have surged simultaneously in Let It Rip western countries. In 2022, the RECORD strep began, & Covid + strep coinfections were causing record brain infections. Then came the mycoplasma. In 2023, HMPV began surging in the U.S. 2024 brought influenza A. My family has so often been a canary in the coal mine. My kid had influenza A over Spring Break last year. Now he has mono. I’ve been hearing mono is hospitalizing young people en masse, & people are getting VERY ILL—like something has changed (could it be THE HOSTS?!) Since 2020, we have known SARS-CoV-2 causes immunodeficiency & deletes CD8s, which confer immunity to intracellular pathogens. As these intracellular pathogens surge at RECORD LEVELS around the world, we STILL aren’t connecting it to Covid. There are SWARMS of pathogens. Something is wrong, & I keep seeing all these overlapping disease patterns I struggle to articulate. It’s so unsettling…

@UTLAnow We are with you, teachers!

@JEngelMattern It says “supermarket” right there! (Although I never noticed that ham hanging right next to Mrs. Pig before 😱)

@itspeterbrown My 8 year old is a super fan (he had a Wild Robot themed birthday party & gave everyone the book as a party favor!) and he gets so mad that it isn’t credited in the beginning of the film, an observation he made on his own which I know sounds made up but is 100% true, I promise!

Sorry, but I really hope people who love #thewildrobotmovie know it was inspired by my book. It's mentioned in the credits but most people don't read that stuff. If you love the movie you should check out the book! There's more to the story and it's a quick read. #thewildrobot

@AlKapDC @atrupar Needs to clip this and post it please! The transcription is stunning but a video clip would spread like wildfire!

And now Dilley has doubled down & gone further, calling Puerto Rico a “shit-ass island,” a “dirty-ass island,” & a “floating trash heap.” mediamatters.org/rumble/trump-m…

Hey @Mojang — you need to fix villages in #minecraft to not encourage stealing.

@ITYSLKids All you had to do was like the fries, Jacob

@nycke1975 @BethanysWorld1 @Luminate_Design @jkbjournalist @Victorshi2020 Haha, yes, the generational warfare is really the same as the class warfare - designed to keep us all apart! We are stronger together!

This AMAZING. North Carolina Central University hosted a “Soar to the Polls” with a marching band & just look at how many young people showed up to soar to the polls. This is why we’re going to win. These young people are going to save us.

@BethanysWorld1 @Luminate_Design @jkbjournalist @Victorshi2020 Yeah, Gen X is stupefyingly red. Someone should have been home with those latch key kids

@Luminate_Design @jkbjournalist @Victorshi2020 I’d argue it’s the other way around. It’s that 45-65 year old group who are mostly the problem. Boomers are offended by Trump, especially when it comes to his rhetoric about their sacrifices.

@joesmith6282 @ITYSL_memes He was a smiley baby

Maybe Tim will be able to finally explain to republicans and Floridians what global warming actually is.

@grubreport 💕 What a gift… love those poetic thoughts 😊 well, I’ll keep my eyes peeled! Maybe a thoughtful dinosaur graphic novel is forthcoming 😉

@grubreport I love it! Are they still writing poems? I hope so! I remember one about the sun that I just loved

@weareyellowdot @ib2_real Keep it up! Incredible job! Signed, a grateful constituent

This is what happens when we have elected leaders who stand up to big oil. California just shut down low-producing urban oil wells in LA, made polluters pay into the state's first repair fund for affected communities, and saved lives. @ib2_real latimes.com/environment/st…

@KMadMcLean @clhubes She’s 13 now (still lovely of course) but I am the old crone who tells people that “it goes so fast”

@KMadMcLean @clhubes She was a real baby poet. 😆 She also urged me to sniff a dandelion she had picked, saying that “it smells like a hot summer night when I was born.”

@ITYSLKids @Juicieca You can’t change the rules just because you don’t like how Apple is doing it

@DynamicEyebrow @WrestleFriend All the way bald!? What a piece of shit!

@WrestleFriend Oh, fuck! That guy’s bald!

This is the filth they’re showing at the #DNC. I guess it’s like a viral video where Bozo dubs over?

@EG2024177223 @molly1995_b @KamalaHQ You think a Daily Wire bro doesn't work for Trump? You're all in service of the cult

Trump operative pushing Project 2025: Maybe we should unwind the very liberal premise in our civil rights law that men and women are the same under the law

@KamalaHQ What is his name?
