Hopefully, I put enough words in it to be a meme.

Yea, but you got better.
Firefox. Ublock and sponsor block.
Walls are closing in!
Huh, weird. So you're telling me all we have to do is physically target supply chains and profit routes of oppressive institutions to hamper their abilities? 
Let's not go wild here.

Abstract:
Pervasive SARS-CoV-2 infections in humans have led to multiple transmission events to animals. While SARS-CoV-2 has a potential broad wildlife host range, most documented infections have been in captive animals and a single wildlife species, the white-tailed deer. The full extent of SARS-CoV-2 exposure among wildlife communities and the factors that influence wildlife transmission risk remain unknown. We sampled 23 species of wildlife for SARS-CoV-2 and examined the effects of urbanization and human use on seropositivity. Here, we document positive detections of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in six species, including the deer mouse, Virginia opossum, raccoon, groundhog, Eastern cottontail, and Eastern red bat between May 2022–September 2023 across Virginia and Washington, D.C., USA. In addition, we found that sites with high human activity had three times higher seroprevalence than low human-use areas. We obtained SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences from nine individuals of six species which were assigned to seven Pango lineages of the Omicron variant. The close match to variants circulating in humans at the time suggests at least seven recent human-to-animal transmission events. Our data support that exposure to SARS-CoV-2 has been widespread in wildlife communities and suggests that areas with high human activity may serve as points of contact for cross-species transmission.
Given that we know that Dogs can get long covid, gotta wonder about the rest of the animal kingdom.

I've also been loving all my preferred youtubers complaining about being sick after coming back from OpenSauce. Great stuff. 
One of the ways I remind myself to not stop masking is that I'll search twitter for whatever convention I wanted to go to along with covid and watch the results come in.

None of these are any I haven't seen, they must not have gotten any fresh ones to celebrate the shooting yet. Also, you may remember that last week I jacked some fash politician's America First laden corrugated sign next to the road. Well, I left the empty metal holder there, and now there's a second empty holder! So hopefully there's a comrade out there helping out. 
Oh, my soundtrack was Utah Phillips's We Have Fed You All for a Thousand Years. Highly recommend!
Btw, if you're looking for a cheap plastic scraper you can get one and like 20 plastic razor blades for a couple of bucks on aliexpress in their "choice" section. I paid $16 for 2 on Amazon last year. Lmao.🙃
Kinda figured they'd be back after the shooting.
Bonus election road sign grabbed. Because remember what Woodsy says, "Give a hoot, don't let fascists advertise their bullshit in your neighborhood."

I'm not affiliated with these folks in any way, nor have I gotten around to joining them. Yet. One of these days.

Good read overall, I recommend checking out the post, but here's the big highlights imo.
I know a lot of us have been watching Disability Numbers in the workforce and Long term sick in the UK. Here's some more fuel for the fire.
“New data from the official Spanish health survey. The share of the population that has a chronic illness now stands 9.8 standard deviations above its prepandemic average. Hospitalizations, 5.9 standard deviations above its average. All age groups doing badly.” Full thread here
Tuberculosis is on the rise. They mention that during the early years of HIV, it's rise served as an indicator of AIDS/Immune damage.
[cw:dead rat image] They wanna stress that covid is a vascular illness, not a respiratory illness.
Recent study found:
The pooled analysis found no significant increase in the risk of myocarditis among vaccinated pilots compared to unvaccinated pilots
