Sometimes I have an argument in my dreams and I want to come back and clarify with sources, but then I wake up and realize I don't need to work on convincing people in my dreams.
I'm still mad about them deliberately misinterpreting me, though.
And that tone of voice was seriously not necessary.
Been thinking a lot today about the headline about long covid in the morning news.
"Physical cause of Long Covid!"
Subtitled "symptoms not mental but physical"
So this is society blithely admitting they thought long covid was just whiny people, and proud that they finally, after several years, figured out it wasn't.
Not about the research, or the researchers. I doubt they thought those things.
Meanwhile #covid19 appears in Dutch wastewater at more than 70% the concentration associated with a severe wave, as part of a continuously rising trend.
We're doing almost nothing about it.
I await, with anger, the shocked surprise of the politicians who managed to keep it out of the election campaign.
What can I do when so many keep voting for the people who only know how to treat things like a PR problem?
People asking me "What are you thinking about?" just get honest answers.
Like "The Puertorican cuarto sounds surprisingly similar to a guitarra portuguesa." or "Phorid fly larva eat ant brains and then the ant's head comes off!" or "Ottawa built a bridge which isn't winter-proof."
I could fib something, but why? The real thoughts are more interesting.
