TLDW; Scientists are seeing a correlation between severe viral infections and development of neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). Being vaccinated for the flu, shingles, and pneumonia appears to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimers and Parkinsons. We may get confirmation of severe infections causing NDDs in 10 to 15 years when we see the long term effects of COVID.
BTW, ironically the video above came out the same day that news hit that the meeting of the US board of advisers that decides on next winter's flu vaccine has been cancelled. So who knows if we'll have a vaccine for the flu in the US this fall. I'm left wondering how much suffering and death needs to occur before awareness grows that RFK Jr is a vile POS who is telling lies about his role in the Samoa measles outbreak of 2019 that killed 80 people most of whom were children.
Another day another adventure for the postwoman

id: a tweet from pop tingz. "max announces the release of the 'luigi mangione: the ceo killer' documentary on february 17th."
hey! just a reminder this alleged "ceo killer" hasn't been convicted of anything, hasn't even gone to trial, was taken into custody without being dna tested or fingerprinted (what fingerprints they did find near the scene were entirely circumstantial), didn't have any contact with legal rep before his extradition hearing, and wasn't identified as a facial match by the fbi's top notch ai software. just don't watch this doc, it's bound to be full of bullshit just like tmz.
Judy, a child from Gaza, has four siblings and her father Sami, a notary who works hard to support his family. But with the war, he cannot work, and he has to instead relocate himself and his family over and over to try and stay safe, enduring heat, cold, freezing rain and avoiding the occupations bombing in only the shelter of tents when they have it. And because no aid has entered Gaza in so long, food can be even harder to find, and more expensive than ever. Sami relies on donations from people like us to do what he can for his family, his children, and keep them fed. Our dollars are powerful as currency and can help Sami get these essentials and stay safe. Even if you only have a few to spare, the help adds up when many can give it. Sami, Judy, and the rest of their family thank you.

'Transfem DIY HRT' and 'Transmasc DIY HRT' are a pair of zines aimed at teaching transgender people how to safely self-administer DIY Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
Both zines are 100% free to download here from Little Mouse (who also made the zine). Print, share and distribute to those who need it!
The information contained in this zine is collated from, and openly available from, DIYHRT.info.
I feel like ppl get bogged down in semantics so let me make it real simple for you. A zionist is someone who supports the state of Israel. Zionism is the belief that a Jewish ethnostate called Israel should be developed in the Levant region (Palestine and Lebanon and Syria) regardless of the existence of Palestine, Syria and Lebanon and their people. When any pro-Palestine person says someone is a Zionist, that's not a synonym for Jewish, nor is another word for "person I don't like". When we call someone a zionist it's because they support the existence of Israel as a colony. And just so we're clear: it does not matter if a zionist says they're sad about Palestinian suffering or they want to "live in peace" with Palestinians because as long as they support the existence of a colonial ethnostate called Israel then they're still doing Zionism. If I came to your house and just started living there and tried to starve you out and torture you so you would leave your house, it wouldn't matter that I felt "sorry" for you because I'm the reason you're suffering at all. That's why when you try and say "well, Neil Druckman says he wants the war to stop" that doesn't matter. He's still a zionist. He still wants Israel to exist as a colonial state which will always be at the expense of Palestinians. Do not fall for liberal Zionists. Get it in your fucking head that there's no "progressive" Zionism because there's no "progressive" way to support a state that necessitates the elimination of whole peoples.
Seen someone say “I can’t die, I got graves to dance on that hasn’t been dug yet.” And honestly, that goes hard. We need to keep that energy.
