Increase in risk in cardiovascular events now up to 3 years after covid infection. I guess I won't be stopping the nattokinase any time soon.

From Ruth Ann Crystal, MD:

"Three years after COVID infection, adults had an increased risk of all major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events including heart attack, stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and myopericarditis with an odds ratio of 1.73."

Notice how quickly the fascists moved from not requiring masks under the guise of freedom to OUTLAWING masks for everyone in NC.

@BlueWaver22

Not yet. The NC state senate passed a bill. The state house is currently tabling it after pushback and the desire to not be sued for violating the ADA. More pressure is needed though to make sure this does not move forward.

I often brag on tumblr about how "on the fediverse I never have to ask people for image descriptions, why is tumblr so terrible at this?" etc.

But, I've made the mistake of re-sharing a few images without descriptions recently! I was lulled into thinking it was not a problem.

Just FYI I'm going to get strict again about not re-sharing undescribed images. (You should too, it keeps the feed readable.)

If you forget? If this is new? Don't feel bad, just stop doing that.

@futurebird

I sometimes forget too. I notice that when I post an image from my iphone's photo app, I cannot add alt text until after I post the image and then edit. And then I get distracted and forget for an hour or two...or three...until I realize my post hasn't gotten any attention. 😅

The fedi keeps you honest! 🥰

If I post from the Ivory app, I can add alt text right away. So I am trying to be more cognizant of where I post from. It helps my ADHD/long covid addled brain.

@futurebird The one time I asked for helped with alt text, because I did not have the vocab necessary to describe a graph correctly, I got two amazing responses that probably took quite a bit of time to write. People here can be very generous of their knowledge and time.

@ai6yr I don’t think raw milk is a good idea-for food borne illness reasons-but I have yet to be convinced that raw milk is a vector for transmission of H5n1. Is there data that it is? (I don’t have access to the LA times article)

CaramelizedShallots,
@CaramelizedShallots@ohai.social avatar

@ai6yr I had read this when it came out, but wasn't convinced. I wondered how they controlled for cats getting from airborne transmission by being near the sick cows. But putting it together with another story that cats became sick from H5N1 contaminated raw cat food, I am changing my mind on this question, for sure.

RT @mta Metropolitan Av on the G line and Lorimer St on the L line are both newly accessible, with three new elevators at each station. 🎉

Because of the unique architectural design of the historic stations, we've implemented an out-of-system transfer to make accessible connections between G and L trains possible.

To transfer using elevators, tap out at the special OMNY reader near the AutoGate and then tap back in at the other station entrance for no additional cost.

@capntransit That’s my stop! It’s been a long time in the making. They not only put in elevators, but also new staircases.

@capntransit Really happy that the noise, dust and traffic problems from the multi-year construction is mostly over.

“It’s totally insane. Pedestrians cross streets in Manhattan, like no other city in the country,” said John Samuelsen, the international president of the Transport Workers Union. “They do whatever they want, whenever they want. These vehicles are not prepared to deal with that type of pedestrian interaction.”

New Data: Long COVID Cases Surge

The increase in long COVID has many causes including "infection, reinfection (eg, people getting COVID after a second, third, or fourth infection), low vaccination rates, waning immunity, and decline in the use of antivirals (such as Paxlovid),"

    @jonobie @weaving I was in FB weaving sales group and found the pricing very high. Craigs List generally has better pricing. Also see if there is a local weaving guild near you. They often have a buy/sell/trade page on their website. Any auction houses near you? Another good possibility for decently priced looms.

    @jonobie I’ve never used sugar and cream but I think a lot of people use it. You could use the 5/2 and double it and do a basket weave. It may be a bit loose, but I think it would work.

    catch-22

    If I don’t feel great, but not too bad, I do OK taking care of myself, i.e. eating and drinking frequently enough, taking electrolytes, supplements, resting…
    If I start to feel better, I start doing stuff and I forget to eat, drink, rest, etc and end up not feeling great.
