Capitalism is making sure you aren't struggling too much with your mental health so you can keep working in the same conditions that are causing you to struggle with your mental health.
This #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth the @Surgeon_General and I would love to know: since we refuse to support Medicare for All, who do you turn to when you’re struggling with your #MentalHealth—and does that person accept insurance or only patients who can pay cash?
As the @Surgeon_General's friend's friend reminded him, it’s OK to not be OK, so long as you can go to work and keep your healthcare benefits.

What we learned from the 1854 cholera outbreak is that it’s more important to shame people for drinking water than holding accountable the powers that be for making the water undrinkable. That way they fight among each other and stop bothering elites.
Does shame work in public health? Public health experts say no but some of the most popular pamphleteers who told us to follow the science say yes because that’s all they’re capable of, so…maybe?
Hey friends, ACT UP isn’t founded for more than 130 years after I die. Since their legacy keeps getting thrown around to justify…shaming and criminalization (?), can someone help me understand which way they punched, up or down? I’ll be available by seance all night.

Sure, everyone knows @LHSummers is an asshole for saying women aren't as good as men at math and science and joking about dumping "toxic waste in the lowest wage country," but please remember he was also friends with Jeffrey Epstein.

Covid-19 media accounts to follow.

Legacy media are a major reason why so many in the US are desensitized to mass death and disability, angrily opposed to empathy, and willing to accept so little from the powerful. Here are media accounts to follow instead.

A thread.
Peste Magazine (@PesteMagazine), a magazine of health journalism and human rights, which consistently publishes defiant and sharp writing about the pandemic you won’t find anywhere else. Living with covid = dying f...
The Nation (@thenation), where Gregg Gonsalves (@gregggonsalves) serves as a public health corresponent and writes columns about the malpractice of covid coverage and policy:

@Surgeon_General: Okay, we need to talk about Vanderpump Rules. What Tom did is NOT okay.

How do you think pretending the pandemic is over affects the nation's healers feeling valued and supported, @Surgeon_General?
Is there a product you'd recommend the nation's healers purchase in order to feel valued and supported, @Surgeon_General? Or should they just share your podcast in order to help make you the celebrity you are desperate to be?

Did we massively overreact to covid?

Let's review the evidence.

🧵
Mask mandates alienated large swathes of business elites and travel executives.
School closures destroyed the future prospects and dreams of hundreds of thousands of children who won't be able to rely on test scores that mirror and maintain racial and class-based inequities.
