That we know of, maybe half a dozen claimed to. Plus a few who definitely can.

The trouble with being otherkin is when trolls and cynics don't take you seriously they can get exploitative and waste your time. It sucks.

Sort of but a lot of that is handled non-verbally, via a kind of intuition mixed with direct 'telepathy' or soul linked meaning. It's something that doesn't work to people's assumptions in this realm because of what they have become used to. But it was not developed and is not often used by many in this realm. It was developed and is used outside this realm by vast numbers.

Indeed, these 2D symbols on paper miss some of the nuance because they really should be in a holographic form that changes from viewing angles.

You can romanise the alphabetical representation of the sounds and words in it, but that's like sending a 2D picture of a 11D object.

@Kuniti_shino
Pretty much comes down to conceptual alignment, vibe, gist and remembering to check as many layers of meaning as possible. Imagine if all communication was in jokes that 'work on so many levels' but not jokes.

Since healthcare workers largely refuse to mask, hospital acquired Covid is still a very serious risk for many of us.

It also carries a 10% mortality rate.

No one should have to choose between care and Covid.

My guide to avoiding Covid in hospital (the tips apply to other public spaces too!)

Someone just told me (via email) that it's "unbecoming for a professor" to use language like "bullshit".

Now that's some bullshit right there.

Universal rights. Bit of future proofing for ya.

The thing about trying to encourage medical staff to upgrade from baggy blues to N95s is that they’ll claim they need to fit test for the N95…and somehow have not in all this time. Which means their employers don’t value their skills enough to invest in their protection to pay for proper fit tests and upgraded protection.

I don’t know how to tell nurses that they deserve better in a way that actually gets them better.

Universal rights.
Gives it some future proofing.

Gilead has announced that lenacapavir, the game-changing HIV prevention drug just approved by the FDA will cost $28,218 USD per person per year.

Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year.

Capitalism kills.

Reminder: The U.S. attack on Iraq, which sucked the U.S. into a conflict that lasted many years and cost many lives, was predicated on a continual drumbeat of propaganda from the White House that Iraq had "weapons of mass destruction". It turned out that they didn't. Flawed intelligence? Outright lying? It doesn't really matter.

Here we go again.

Time Magazine published a story on Lyme Disease today so today is a good day for me to inform y'all that we had a vaccine to Lyme Disease over a decade ago, but anti-vaxxers were able to get it off the market.
