    "What are we playing today?" asked Bluey as Bingo's classmates Snow the pisse-lit (bedwetter in French, as how Loupy got people to call him alternatively with plush) pizzly and Loupy were over to play with the two sisters and Fiona, Loupy's adoptive older sister which was one year older.
    "We could be the heroes from stories! Our parents plays Dungeons & Dragons and showed us some stuff about it!" said Fiona.
    "That sound really fun." said Bingo. "It's like those knight's stories..."

    Half hour later, the kids were all dressed up in improvised costumes. Bluey was a knight, dressed in shiny aluminum foil and cardboard armor, Bingo was a mage with a fairy wand and costume, Fiona was a barbarian with her diaper barely covered by something and a plastic axe. Snow was carrying a weird cardboard tube and was colouring flames to add to said tube.
    "I'm an artificer!" said the ursine. "I have a big canon to blow everything up."
    "Your diaper sure blows up often." said Loupy while he confused people with his bow, struggling to find his glasses.
    "Are you a ranger?" asked Bluey.
    "I'm a bard... they tend to use bows too, I sing instead of having a pet plush, since Snow didn't wanted to be the pet..." answered the wolf.
    "Pleawse don't sing." said Fiona. Her brother bowed like a performer as his only answer.

    "We are facing the plush servants of the Potty Monster, plush. Hope you got something to push through." said the bard princess (title given to him by Bluey).
    "I have something right here... just hope I remember the splash zone..." answered ominously the bear.

    #Thanatosis is the #behavior of #animals to #pretend being #dead in order to deter #predators. This behavioral response to a threatening stimulus is the result of #evolution. The thanatosis procedure can be a rather simple retaining in a motionless position, but it can also be rather #complex, as in the North American #opossum, not only playing dead, but even emitting a #foulish cadaver-like #smell out of its #analgland. #adaptations #behavior

  8. @MostlyHarmless Get a refrigerator box, write DMV on the side, and hang hang a “closed, opens at 10am” sign on it, and make her get up at 6am and wait in line until it opens to get a replacement license.

    As soon as that one comes in the pretend mail, show her you found her original cardboard license.

  18. At one point
    it was okay to #pretend
    that everything was going
    to be all right.
    The blinders have been lifted
    things are real.
    Reality has hit and
    history has repeated.
    But I will not curl up and die.
    The dawn will rise once more.

  20. Chillingly, most people who develop long COVID did not have particularly vicious cases of the virus initially.

    That’s in part because so many more people experience a mild form of COVID rather than a severe one.

    (Across most studies, long COVID risk does increase with the severity of the initial infection.)

    And each time people become reinfected with the virus, they’re at risk of developing long COVID,
    even if they didn’t experience it previously.

    The authors note that studies on recovery from long COVID are “sparse and inconsistent.”

    But those that have closely evaluated individual manifestations of the virus have found recovery rates to be fairly low at one year,
    and only 7% to 10% fully recovered after two years.

    For millions and millions of people, the debilitating effects of long COVID are just that.

    The economic toll is its own story.

    A Census Bureau Household Pulse Survey in 2022 found that between
    2 million and 4 million working-age Americans were out of work because they were sidelined with the effects of long COVID.

    Meanwhile 20% of people with long COVID surveyed by the United Kingdom’s Trades Union Congress said they were not working.

    Another 16% were working reduced schedules.

    The $1 trillion estimated annual global economic hit involves Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries due to
    “reductions in quality of life and labor force participation,”
    the Nature Medicine review says.

    And that price tag does not factor in the direct costs of healthcare, another likely category of deep financial fissure.

    Al-Aly and his co-authors are pleading for governments,
    especially U.S. health agencies,
    to dramatically upgrade their levels of activity to investigate long COVID,
    learn more about its mechanisms and pathways,
    and develop vaccines that better block infection.

    They’re also pushing for large-scale platform trials to test multiple drugs simultaneously,
    so we can quickly learn what works and what doesn’t.

    They have an ally in Congress.

    U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders recently introduced the ✅Long COVID Research Moonshot Act, ✅
    a bill that would guarantee $1 billion per year for a decade to the National Institutes of Health
    “to support long COVID research,
    the urgent pursuit of treatments,
    and the expansion of care for patients across the country.”

    Sanders’ news release announcing the act puts the long COVID count in the U.S. at
    22 million, including a million children.

    Among other things, the bill would require NIH to establish a long COVID #database and a #grant #process to speed up clinical trials,
    and to make any subsequent treatments “#reasonably #priced” so that every patient could receive it.

    “The legislation that we have introduced finally recognizes that long COVID is a public health emergency,” Sanders said.

    “Congress must act now to ensure treatments are developed and made available for Americans struggling with long COVID.”

    If it accomplishes nothing else, Sanders’ proposal may help lift the veil on long COVID in the country and around the world.

    It’s a topic that has been largely pushed into the shadows,
    as governmental agencies
    —and official policy
    —tried to construct a reality in which COVID in general was just no longer a significant issue.

    That was never the case, and it’s certainly not the case now.

    “The reality is otherwise,” Al-Aly says.

    As the virus mutates into new strains and continues to affect millions, the long tail of COVID is once again forcing itself to center stage.
