May 20 (NatGeo): β€œA comprehensive study found that viral remnants can survive for months after infection in certain people. The persistence of the virus may also play a role in long COVID, the debilitating suite of symptoms that can last for months. Estimates suggest between 7.7 and 23 million people in the United States alone are now affected by long COVID”.

β€œDmytro Kozatsky, Azov Regiment fighter and photographer, documented the siege of the Azovstal metalworks. Before his capture he posted his pictures on social media, asking that they be shared as widely as possible. This is some of his work showing the realities of life during the battle.”

@ScottLawrence809 If you're new there's a user's guide that might be helpful. There's also a color layout of the columns & what you're seeing. It can be alot.

@damianreloaded @grrlscientist @Cnn we are ruled by an ownership class who will do nothing but take as much money as they can-without a single thought of what that costs in lives & damage to this planet.

Fun fact: if we were to redistribute all the wealth in the world equally, everyone would have a net worth of $66000

That is, a baby girl in Borneo and a Swiss retiree would both have that amount in assets left over after all their debts were paid off

years ago, while i was in the military (not the greatest way to see the beauty of a country) i got to spend some time in Thailand. I wish I remember the name of the area we were in but it was probably Pattaya. I had the oppty to go out and see some of the area while we were there-it was gorgeous. The Thai ppl were incredibly welcoming, and the most friendly ppl I have ever encountered.

@Apocryphiliac I got dogs & a food forest in the making-no grass around here...well, a little of it-but a weed wacker is usually enough...!

@Rathekyn Working on buying some property in VT to create exactly that. I gotta GTFO VA for similar reasons. C'mon!
