Am I the only person who feels humanity is doomed and today’s kids will have no chance to enjoy longevity we’re used to in rich countries? There are so many nasty things heading for tipping point cataclysm, that escape to bright new safe future seems no longer real. 1/7

@JonathanCOnP @helaineolen In spaces all of us NEED to share, transport, hopitals, shops, and much more, masking should be mandatory for maximum risk mitigation. Totally agree with what you say for clean air. Without mandations, we discriminate against the vulnerable who cant take such risks.

Am I the only nutaholic, who buys a giant bag of nuts intending to munch a tiny handful at a time, but ends up having terrible gut rot having consumed the lot? Smoked salted almonds are the worst for moreishness.

Climate scientists pulling their hair out over the huge non-linear jump in heat. They see the window of mitigation closing fast! Does anybody think they're wrong to worry? The ruling class KNOWS all this stuff. It's their planet too! But they wont act against BAU. WHY NOT? 1/4

The pandemic gives me many long periods on my own, which can be a relief. Are my mixed-up feelings, with all the self-doubt, common? And is there an overlap with being this type of person and being covid-cautious, and/or leftwing? 7/

BA5 has peaked in UK & hospitalisations dropping. But BQ1 & BQ1.1 on the rise. NHS already near breaking point, even with current warm weather, winter is still to hit. Masking & testing almost non-existent. WHO is anxious but not panicked. WHY NOT?? 1/3

yet often feel "imposter syndrome", that it's only because ppl cant see the real (rejectable) me. I still struggle to feel I deserve validation! It seems as if some ppl naturally "belong", while I am an "outsider", living mostly in my head, 5/

The BBC soap 'Doctors' today featured someone who was covid cautious. Script just portrayed him as 'anxious', and behaving this way bc he was grieving! The doc he saw was very understanding & kind, but it never occurred to her to mask during the consultation! Awful messaging! 🤦‍♂️
